# Math 2163 - Calculus III - section 21808

Lecture: MWF 1:30pm–2:20pm, Human Sciences 326

## Text:

The main text we will follow (and which you probably already have) is:

Jon Rogawski, Colin Adams, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Third Edition, 2015, W. H. Freeman and Company.
Other editions are fine, chapter/section numbers might be different, but you need to have a webassign access code.
Don't get the kindle version, it just doesn't work.
We will be covering things from chapters 12–17

It's always useful to have some other sources. The following are free online:

Gregory Hartman, APEX Calculus (http://www.apexcalculus.com) (PDF).
The corresponding material is chapters 9–14, which is the 3rd volume of version 4.0 (you can get a printed copy for $15). Lars Jensen, Active Calculus - Multivariable (https://activecalculus.org/multi/) (webpages). Many interactive practice exercises. The downside is that it doesn't cover everything we will do. Paul Dawkins, Paul's Online Notes - Calculus III (http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/CalcIII.aspx) (webpages). ## Lecturer: Jiří Lebl Web: http://math.okstate.edu/people/lebl/ Office: MSCS 505 Office hours: M 3:30–4:20pm MLSC main room (5th floor of library), WF 2:30–3:20pm, my office, and by appointment at other times. Office phone: (405) 744-7750 Email: lebl at okstate dot edu ## What's the Course About: We will learn multivariable calculus by generalizing the single-variable notions to functions of more than one variable. We will study in particular analytic geometry in three dimensions and basic notions of vectors, and the beginnings of vector calculus. Prerequisites: Calculus I and II with grade C or better. ## Grading: Grade distribution is as follows: 10% — Each of 3 in class exams. 30% — Final exam 20% — Your best exam score (either one of the midterm exams or the final) 10% — Quizzes. 10% — Webassign. As usual, 90% and above guarantees an A, 80% and above a B, 70% a C, and 60% and above a D. Curve will be applied at the end if needed, and so those cutoff percentages could move downwards, but only if it is deemed necessary. ## Exams, Quizzes: Exam 1: Monday, February 10th, (in class) Exam 2: Wednesday, March 11th, (in class) Exam 3: Wednesday, April 22nd, (in class) Final exam: (as per university schedule) Wednesday, May 6th, 2:00pm–3:50pm, same room as class Quizzes will be in-class. They will be short 10 or so minutes. I will try to do one weekly, on Wednesday, end of class. Lowest 2 quiz scores will be dropped. Quizzes will be out of 25 points. Two questions, 10 points each, plus 5 points for turning the quiz in (even if it is empty). On most questions (quizes/exams), 10% of the points will be for writing complete legible work (for example all those$dx$s and all those$=\$ signs), unless the problem says otherwise. It may be possible to get this 10% (or some of it) even if there are some mathematical errors.

Nongraphing calculators are allowed on the quizzes or exams. But trust me, you will not need them, and from experience in this sort of class, they just slow you down.

One sheet (letter size) of hand-written notes will be allowed on exams. Feel free to use both sides. This is only for exams. Notes are not allowed on quizzes.

## Missed Work:

No makeup quizzes (we are dropping the lowest 2 anyhow). There will be reasonable accommodation for more substantial missed work if you have a valid and documented reason, and the documentation is provided in advance unless absolutely impossible. If you have a university approved (see the syllabus attachment) final conflict exam, you must tell me no later than two weeks before the final, so that we can figure out what to do.

## Attendance:

Mandatory, but not taken. Students who do not attend class regularly often do much worse.

## WebAssign:

WebAssign will be used in this class for homework:

Class key: okstate 8653 3509

We will be using Gradescope (http://gradescope.com) for all exams and quizzes. I'll add you to the class after the first week or so, and you'll get an email on how to log in. This is where you will be able to view your graded exams/quizzes when I am done grading.
