Math 20E: Vector Calculus, Fall 1999

Office hours: MW: 1:20-2:20, F11-12

Office: APM 5256, tel. 534-2734

Teaching assistants: Arif Dowla, email: adowla@euclid.ucsd.edu, office hours:WF3-4:30 and Rino Sanchez, email: rsanchez@euclid.ucsd.edu, office hours: T10-11, Th10:30-11:30 APM 6337C

Computation of grade: The grade is computed from your scores in the final (50%), 2 midterms (20% each), and homework (10%).

Dates of exams:

Midterms: 10/25 and 11/22 ( IN CLASS at 12:20)

Homeworks need to be turned in in sections, and selected problems will be graded. It is very important that you do the homework problems as most of the exam problems will be variations of homework problems.

Homework assignments

Disclaimer: I will try to get the homework assignment on the net in time. Due to time and other limitations, this may not always be possible. The fact that there is no assignment posted for a particular date does therefore NOT necessarily mean that no homework is due.
