Class Syllabus

Textbook: J. Stewart, Calculus, 6th edition.

Course material: This course is an introduction to differential calculus of several variables.

Prerequisite: Math 31B.

Homework: The homework is due every Friday in class. Graded homework will be returned to you in your section (Tuesday or Thursday of the following week). The homework is an essential part of the class. Each week, several chosen problems will be graded, and in addition a certain score will be assigned for completeness. Two lowest homework scores will be dropped in the computation of your final grade. Late homework will not be accepted and there will be no make-up homework.

Midterms: There will be two midterms on Monday, October 18th and Monday, November 22nd (dates are to be confirmed) during the regular class hours. Please make sure you have no time conflicts. There will be no make-up exams. However, if you miss a midterm, the missed midterm will not count but the remaining midterm and the final exam will count for more.

Final exam: The final exam is on Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 8:00am-11:00am. You must take the final in order to pass the class.

Your final class score will be computed as the maximum of the following:

10% Homework + 35% (best of two Midterms) + 55% Final
or
10% Homework + 25% Midterm 1 + 25% Midterm 2 + 40% Final

Grading complaints: If you believe a problem on a homework or an exam has been graded incorrectly, or that your score was not correctly recorded, you must bring this to the attention of the instructor within 14 calendar days of the due date of the assignment in question, or the date of the exam, and before the date of the final exam . Grading complaints not initiated within this period of time will not be considered. Please verify in a timely manner that your scores are correctly recorded on MyUCLA.
