Lectures:

Textbook: 

"Multivariable Calculus" (fourth edition), by James Stewart. The "Students Solution Manual," by Dan Clegg and Barbara Frank is also recommended.

Course Description:

This is a second-year Calculus course. An understanding of some linear algebra and analytic geometry as well as the ability to visualize and draw 3-dimensional figures is always a very helpful basis when learning Multivariable calculus. We will be building and developing these relevant foundations during the first six weeks of classes by covering Ch. 11 "Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates," Ch. 13 "Vectors and the Geometry of Space," and Ch. 14 "Vector Functions" of the textbook. The nest portion of the course is a longer period of about twelve weeks of classes. Ch. 15 "Partial Derivatives," Ch. 16 "Multiple Integrals," and Ch. 17 "Vector Calculus," will be covered during this twelve week period. This is the most important part of the course because these chapters contain the ideas and materials, which are the essence of basic multivariable calculus. Here we will generalize most of the fundamental concepts of elementary single variable calculus as well as their properties and applications to functions of two and more variables. At the end of the course, a brief selections of elements of Series and Differential Equations will be introduced, if time permits. Selected sections of Ch. 12 "Infinite Sequences and Series" and Ch. 18 "Second-Order Differential Equations" will be covered during this final period. In general, definitions, theorems and other relevant results will be stated precisely, mostly without proofs but with indications and analysis of the mathematical ideas involved, stressing geometric notions and their algebraic and analytical counterparts. Applications and problems to the Physical and Life Sciences will be discussed during the lectures.

Fall classes begin on September 9 and end on December 6. Winter term classes begin on January 6 and end on April 11. No classes will be held during Reading Week: February 17 - 21. Lectures will closely follow the textbook. Problem sets, consisting of exercises and problems mostly from the textbook, will be assigned during the lectures. Solutions to problem sets do not have to be submitted for marking. However, students are responsible for studying the textbook sections as they are covered and for doing the assignments as indicated by the instructors. Working with the course material on a daily basis will be essential to secure a better understanding of the lectures and to be prepared for evaluations.

Marking Scheme:

The course mark will be computed as follows:

                        Three term-tests (20 % each)                             60%

                        Final Examination                                                40%

                                                                                Total:            100%
