| Instructor: | Jake Wildstrom Office: Natural Sciences Building 231 Primary office hours: Monday 16:00–17:00, Thursday 12:00–13:00 11–12 Secondary office hours: Monday 12:30–13:30, Tuesday 11:00–12:00, or by appointment\\ Phone number: (502)852-5845 (x5845) E-mail: dwildstr@erdos.math.louisville.edu |
| Lecture: | MWF 11:00–12:15 in Natural Sciences Building 212E 212E |
| Prerequisites: | MATH 206 or ENGR 102 |
| Description: | Differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables, vector analysis, solid analytic geometry, introduction to topics in differential equations. |
| Special notes: | Credit may not be received for both MATH 301 and ENGR 201. |
| Textbook: | Calculus, Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, sixth edition. |
| Responsibilities: | You are responsible for attending class on a regular basis and maintaining comprehension of the scheduled class objectives for each day. You are expected to be active participants in class, and to attend examinations. Assignments are provided for your benefit and you are expected to work on them as necessary to grasp concepts for the course. |
| Special needs: | Any scheduled absence during a quiz or examination, or any other special needs, must be brought to my attention during the first week of class. Unscheduled absences will be handled on a case-by-case basis, with exceptions generally made only for documented emergencies. |
| Calculators: | Calculators are unnecessary for any in-class work, and may not be used on quizzes or examinations. Calculators will also be unnecessary for most homework problems, but may be used at your discretion. For any calculation more complicated than the evaluation of functions, you are expected to show your work. |
| Honesty: | There are many resources available to help you succeed in this class, including consultation during office hours, secondary texts, and cooperation with other students. It is important, however, that all papers handed in be the result of your individual comprehension of the course material. Duplication of others' work is both a disservice to your own education and a serious violation of the university's academic honesty policy. |
| Grades: | Homework is ungraded and is provided for study purposes. Quizzes will be based on the homework problems, and will account for one-sixth of your grade. The three midterm examinations will each be worth one-sixth, and the final examination is worth one-third. A 90% overall guarantees a grade of A–, 80% guarantees a B–, and 70% guarantees a C–. |
| Changes: | The syllabus is subject to change. Changes will be announced in class and updated online. |
