Textbooks

Calculus, 10th Edition, by Salas, Hille and Etgen, Chapters 11-14.

Ordinary Differential Equations, by Tenenbaum and Pollard, Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 11.

Grading

There will be two midterms, one final exam, homework assignments and quizzes. The midterms are 25% each, the final is 30%, the homework assignments are 10% and quizzes are 10% of your total grade. Late homework is not accepted and there are no quiz make ups. I will drop your lowest homework and quiz grade at the end of the quarter.

Week at a glance

Lectures are on MTuWF. Besides the textbooks, there will be supplementary handouts. I will not cover everything in lectures. You have to read the relevant sections in the textbooks and/or the handouts. Thursday quiz sections are for discussing problems with your TA. You should go to quiz sections prepared to ask and answer questions. There will be quizzes on most Thursdays. I will announce the quiz topic in lecture on Wednesdays if you remind me. The homework assignments are due on Mondays at the beginning of class.

Calculator policy

Calculators are not allowed on quizzes or exams.

·         Homework #10 due FRIDAY the 13th

·         Here is a nice animation of the Frenet frame (also called the TNB frame) of Project 14.5B.

·         Here are animations showing how a vector function traces a curve in space and the definition of the derivative as a limit.

·         These animations show the osculating and normal planes of a curve.

·         Here is a final exam review and hints for the solutions. On the final exam, I am planning to ask two questions from each of the three parts: sequences and series, DEs, vector calculus.
