Textbooks

The textbook is Calculus, by Stewart, or Multivariable Calculus, by Stewart. We will also be using some notes on Differential Forms.

Office hours

As written above, office hours are Mondays and Wednesdays, 10:30-11:20.
Since the homework is due on Friday, and since we have no quiz sections, the office hours on are a good moment for you to ask questions about the homework.

Homework

Homework is collected on Fridays, and you can find it on the calendar.
Since there are no quiz sections, you should think of the homework as the equivalent. Doing the homework - making your hands dirty with computations - is as important as studying.
Beware that the homework on the calendar can change (up to a week before its due day), so that you should keep checking.

Quizzes

During the quarter, there will be three quizzez. Each one will be a 30 minutes test. You will be allowed to bring a scientific calculator (NOT a graphic one), and a one handwritten sheet of notes (one-page).

The first quiz will be on Friday, January 7th, and will be a review of integration.
The second quiz will be on Friday, February 11th, and will be on the sections 16.1, 16.2 and 16.3.
The third quiz will be on Friday, February 25th, and will be on the sections 16.4, 16.5 and 16.6.

Exams

There will be one midterm and one final exam. All exams will only be on materials we have seen in the lectures (unless otherwise stated). This means that you do not have to worry about learning formulas in the textbook unless I mention them in class. On the other hand, in the lectures I may mention a result not in the textbook, and you will be expected to know that result.
There are no make-up exams. If you have a compelling, unavoidable, and well-documented reason for missing an exam, talk with me as soon as possible.
For all exams, you can bring a scientific calculator, but NOT a graphic one. One handwritten sheet of notes is also allowed (two-sided). And remember to bring your student ID.

The midterm will be on Friday, January 28th, in class, and will cover chapter 15 and the sections 14.5 and 14.6.
The final will be on Wednesday, March 16th, 8:30-10:20, in PCAR 291 (the usual room).

Grades

The final grade will be based on homework, quizzes and exams, in the following proportion:

Homework	10%
Quizzes	10% (each)
Midterm	25%
Final	35%
