Communication:
If need be, I will communicate with you
through your FIU
email
account; so be sure to check it often. Attendance: It
is strongly recommended that you attend all the class meetings.
If you
cannot attend a lecture, it is your responsibility to cover the missed
material or to get the notes from a class mate.
If you miss class without informing me of the
reason, I will
be forced to report your absence to your advisor through the
early
reports system.
Textbook: Multivariable Calculus, by
Anton,
Bivens, and Davis, 10th edition, John Wiley. The material I plan to
cover
includes all sections of chapters 11(Three-dimensional space, vectors),
12(Vector-valued functions), 13(Functions of several variables),
14(Multiple
integrals), 15(Topics in vector calculus). The tentative order of
material
coverage is: 11(all), 13(all), 14(all), 15(all), 12(all).
There
are 40 sections; so we will try
to
cover two sections on Fridays as much as possible.

Recommendations: Begin to do your homework from today, January 06, till the last day of class. Set your goal for the course right from the beginning, and work tirelessly toward it; do not let anyone or anything divert you from your goal. Many students have trouble passing this course because there are many different notions to assimilate within one semester. However, if you put the necessary effort into it, then you'll succeed. Do not fall behind; it might prove very difficult to catch up afterwards. Be sure to attend classes regularly, and to diligently deal with any questions or concerns you might have. Remember that I, the LA, and other free tutoring help are here to help you succeed; so do not be shy or afraid to ask questions about a notion that you do not understand; it is absolutely normal to not be able to catch every apple as it falls from the tree, but be sure to pick up those that have escaped your grasp. It is my responsibility to make sure that your questions and concerns are swiftly addressed to your satisfaction. Avoid being a passive learner; I expect you to be active in and outside the classroom by regularly doing the homework as we move along the sections, and by asking questions on concepts or homework problems that you find hard. To facilitate your progress with problem solving, it would be better to note down the homework problems that you could not solve as well as the reason why (maybe you did it and your answer was not the same as that of the solution manual, or you started and could not complete, or you did it differently than the solution manual and want to ckeck whether your approach is correct, or you could not even start); that would be very helpful when you raise questions about them. You will acquire the necessary skills needed to successfully complete this course by doing your homework. I will do my best to help you, and I expect you to do your best. Do not wait until the eve of a quiz or test to try to catch up on every thing; it would be too late. After a test has been graded, be sure to discuss your mistakes with me or the LA, so that you do not make the same mistakes in subsequent tests. "Never do tomorrow what you can do today. Proscratination is the thief of time''.The four in-class tests will make up 70% of the course grade. The final exam is cumulative, and will be worth 30%. You will be required to produce a photo ID before taking any of the tests, and before writing the final exam. Arrange to be in the room about ten minutes before the class starts; do not arrive late on a test day, else you will not be allowed to take the test, and you'll get a zero. For students who took all the four tests, we will also use the alternate grading scheme: Term work 50%, and final exam 50%, whichever produces the highest grade. No calculators, or ipods, ipads or pagers or cellphones are allowed during the exams or class time; you are not allowed to use or check these devices during the exam or class time, they must be off. On a test day, you are not allowed to use a formula sheet or write formulas on your cloth or body, otherwise that would be considered a cheating act, and will be sanctioned as such. Once you start a test, you cannot leave the room until you are done. There will be no make-up for missed tests. If you miss a test and you produce a doctor certificate indicating that you were sick and unable to write the test, then the corresponding grade will be added to the final exam grade, otherwise, a zero will be recorded for any missed test.
