Math 326A: Advanced Multivariable Calculus II

Professor Monty (William) McGovern 
Fall 2013


Instructor:
Monty (or William) McGovern
Office: Padelford C-450
Phone: 206-543-1149
Email: mcgovern@math.washington.edu
Office Hours: TTh 1:30 and by appointment, Padelford C-450
Lectures:
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 12:30-1:20 p.m., Denny Hall 216
Prerequisites:
Math 324 or the equivalent. 
Exams:

1st Midterm: Friday, October 18, in class.
2nd Midterm: Friday, November 15, in class.
Final: Thursday, December 12, 8:30-10:20, in class.

Grading:
Your grade will be based equally on homework, two midterms, and a final. In case you must miss a midterm, I would very much appreciate ADVANCE NOTICE so that other arrangements can be made to take it. If you cannot complete a homework assignment on time, you can always turn it in by 3:00 on the day it is due to the grader's mailbox (announced later). PLEASE turn in WHATEVER YOU CAN rather than nothing. In all tests you may use two letter-sized pages (one sheet front and back of notes in your own handwriting).
Incompletes and Drops:
The grade of Incomplete will be given ONLY if a student has been doing satisfactory work until the end of the quarter and then misses the final exam for a documented illness, religious reason, or family emergency.
What to Expect:
We will cover some of the theory behind the definitions and calculations of Math 324 (but not the level of 327-8), more specifically elementary topology, partial differentiation, the implicit and inverse function theorems, and the change of variable formula for multiple integration.
