Text: Calculus Concepts and Contents by Stewart

Content and Goals: This course generalizes our studies from Calculus I and II. We will study real-valued functions of several variables. We will discuss limits, continuity, differentiability and integration for these functions. In addition, we will look again at Taylor series.

We will cover Chapters 9 and 10 (approximately the first 2 weeks), Chapter 11 (approximately Weeks 3,4, 5), Chapter 12 (approximately Weeks 6 and 7), Chapter 13 (approximately Weeks 8 and 9), and parts of Chapter 8 (approximately Week 10).

Of course, one main goal of this study is mastery of the content. But this is not the only goal for this course (or most any course....). We'll practice thinking critically and logically about new ideas, communicating mathematical ideas, formulating and asking questions, and integrating knowledge.

Workload:

Single Variable Mastery	A virtually unlimited opportunity to display mastery of differentiaion and integration of functions of a single variable! The only possible scores are 100%, corresponding to mastery, and 0%. Must be complete by Monday, 4pm, Week 2	5% for differentiation 5% for integration
Homework	Problems and reading will be assigned every class period. Typically, you'll be assigned reading and some warm up problems on day n-1 as well as some problems which will be turned in on day n+1. The warm up problems will form the basis of our class on day n, so come prepared to class! The turn in problems will be collected in class. While no late hw will be accepted, the two lowest homework grades will be dropped.	30%
Midterm Exams	Two exams, around Week 4 and Week 7	15% each
Project	One writing project, collaborative in nature, around Week 6	10%
Final Exam	Cumulative exam, Wednesday, June 10, 1-4pm	20%
