Math 20C  —  Calculus  —  Fall 2018  —  Lecture C (Tesler)
Syllabus

Updated 10/3/18


INSTRUCTOR:   Glenn Tesler

DESCRIPTION:   Vector geometry, vector functions and their derivatives. Partial differentiation. Maxima and minima. Double integration.

REQUIRED SUPPLIES:  
Textbook:
Calculator: A handheld graphing calculator is recommended for the homework. The TI-82 through TI-92 are suitable. The Graphing page of this website has information about graphing software and websites. Electronic computing devices (including calculators, computers, and phones) will not be permitted on exams; the questions will be written accordingly.
Slides: Most lectures will use the chalkboard, but some will use slides. Class slides will be posted on the Calendar page of the class website. For the lectures with slides, you may want to print the slides in advance, 4 or 6 per sheet, to facilitate note-taking.


COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
Homework:  We will have two different kinds of homework assignments: online homework (which will be graded) and written homework (which will not be collected or graded).
Exams: 
Lectures and discussion sections:  Attending lectures and discussion sections is a fundamental part of the course.  You are responsible for all of the material presented whether or not it is discussed in the textbook.
Reading:  Reading the sections of the textbook corresponding to the lectures and assigned homework exercises is considered to be part of each homework assignment. You are responsible for all of the material in the assigned reading whether or not it is presented in the lectures. You should expect questions on the exams that will test your understanding of concepts addressed in the reading and assigned homework exercises.
Grading:  Your composite score will be the higher of the following two weighted averages of your percentages on homework and exams: After your weighted average is calculated, letter grades will be assigned based on the standard grading scale:

A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- F
97 93 90 87 83 80 77 73 70 <70

We may adjust the above scale to be more lenient (depending on the overall class performance), but we guarantee that we will not adjust the scale to make it harder to get a better grade.  Please note:



HELP:   Help is available from the professor and teaching assistants during their office hours. We also recommend the following resources:

ACCOMODATIONS:   Students with special needs or disabilities must provide the instructor with an Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter issued by the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) in the first week of class, or as soon as possible if the situation arises later. Arrangements for UCSD Athletics teams, documented medical emergencies, etc., must be requested with appropriate documentation as soon as possible.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:   Cheating will not be tolerated. See the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship.
