F.A.Q.
Add Codes, Textbook, Answering e-mailsAdd Codes
Some remarks.
- I do not accept more students than the capacity of the room and I do not want to overload my sections too much anyway.
- If the section where you want to register is full, send my an e-mail by the end of the first week (specifying which section you want to enroll to). I will create a waiting list based on the order in which I receive your e-mails. I will not give add codes to students who do not e-mail me in the first week.
- People usually drop during the first week, so I advice you to keep checking regularly if there is an open spot in the section where you want to register. In this spirit, I do not give add codes until the second week.
- If you want an add code, you are anyway expected to do the regular work of the class (this includes homework and possibly quizzes, if it applies).
Textbook
The text is Calculus, by Stewart, sixth edition. You may use the paperback Multivariable Calculus, by Stewart, which starts with chapter 10. We will cover (essentially) the final parts of chapters 14, 15, and then we will focus on chapter 16. Be sure to be confident on the topics in the first parts of chapters 14 and 15, and in chapter 12. We will also use some notes on differential forms that you can find here.
If you have the fifth edition, the theory is the same, but the problems are different. You can still use it, but you should check the problems from the sixth edition. You can ask some of your classmates. Copies of the sixth edition are in reserve in the library, or you can probably find a copy to consult in the Math Study center.
If your edition is the fourth or older also the theory is different, so I advice you to find a more recent edition.Answering e-mails
If I receive an e-mail, I will try to answer it in 24 hours. If your e-mail consists of a question, and I happen to talk to you about the matter and to answer your question before answering the e-mail, I will not reply to your e-mail (since it would simply be a repetition of what I said to you in person). If you prefer to have also a written answer, you should tell me.
