MATH 209 - Calculus III (EH1), TR 8:00-9:30, CEB 326 (course outline)


Instructor

Volker Runde, CAB 675

Office hours

By appointment. (If you want to set up an appointment with me, please, drop me an e-mail the day before.)

Texts

  1. J. Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals (6thEdition). Brooks/Cole, 2008.
  2. Math 209 Lab Manual (on sale - cash only - in CAB 680, 8:30-16:30, September 7,8,9, and 12 only).

Syllabus

  1. partial derivatives (Sections 14.1 to 14.8 of Stewart's book);
  2. multiple integrals (Sections 15.1 to 15.8 of Stewart's book);
  3. vector calculus (Sections 16.1 to 16.9 of Stewart's book).

Grading

The grade will be based on labs (10%), homework (10%), a common midterm (30%), and a common final (50%). Unless exceptional circumstances arise, grades will be awarded based on the long time statistics for the overall performance in Math 209.

Labs

The labs start on or after September 14.

Homework

There will be weekly homework assignments. Details will be announced in class. The access key for WebAssign is:

ualberta 8507 5852

Further details will be announced in class.

Exams

Dates (set by the Faculty of Engineering): Calculators and other electronic aids as well as formula sheets are not allowed in the exams.

There is no deferred midterm exam; if the midterm is missed for a valid reason, the weight will be transferred to the final.

Students who miss the final exam and obtain a formal (in writing) university accepted excuse for their absence may write a deferred exam on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 9:00 in CAB 357.

Students wishing to be considered for a re-examination must satisfy the requirements laid out in Section 23.5.5 of the Academic Calendar. Moreover, they must have - excluding the final - completed at least one half of the term work. Term performance will play a role in the decision to grant a re-examination.
