General Course Description
Vector operations, vector representation of planes and curves, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, gradient, tangent planes, optimization, multiple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates, vector fields, line integrals, and Green's Theorem.
*Note: A good follow-up course is Math 311, which further develops many of the ideas introduced here.

Grading
Your total course grade is obtained from your percentage grade out of the following:
Three in-class exams: 100 pts each
Daily Homework: 70 pts (keep all)

Final Exam: 200 pts
_________________________________
Total: 700 pts
To get full credit on exams, homework, and quizzes, you need to show your work, neatly, in clear and correct mathematical notation, annotated by English sentences where appropriate. You will be graded based on the work shown, not the answer. Cheating will not be tolerated.
Homework
Homework problems come from the textbook but may be supplemented with problems from other sources as well.
