Math 21C Calculus and Analytic Geometry, Spring 2002

Office hours: M1-2 WF11-12

Office: APM 5256, tel. 534-2734

Teaching assistants: Stefan Erickson (email: erickson@math.ucsd.edu), Jason Bandlow (email: jbandlow@math.ucsd.edu), Taryn Catlin (email: taryncat16@yahoo.com)

Computation of grade: The grade is computed from your scores in the final (50%), midterm (25%) and quizzes (25%). There will be a quiz each week in the TA section, with the problem taken from the homework assignment. You will be allowed at the end to drop the two worst scores of your quizzes, but there will be no make-up quizzes in case you miss one. In order to avoid cheating, quizzes will be different from section to section. In case quizzes in different sections turn out to be of significantly different difficulty, we will make some adjustments at the end of the quarter. Strong advice: Although you need not turn in your homework, you definitely should do all the problems, and should ask questions in the sections or office hours if you have difficulties in solving them. All the quiz problems, and most of the other exam problems will just be minor variations of homework problems. First quiz: 10/3

Dates of exams:

Midterm: 11/15

Quizzes: each Thursday, except in the week of the midterm.

How to find out the final exam date:

1. Get into StudentLink (you can find it on the upper right corner of http://www.ucsd.edu/ )

2. In the upper right corner at StudentLink, under `Where Do You Want To Go', you can find `Final Exams'. Go for it, and look up the date of your final under Fall 2002 Final Exam Schedule

It is very important that you do the homework problems, as the problems for quizzes as well as most of the exam problems will be very similar to homework problems.

Course material: We will use the book `Calculus, early transcendentals', fourth edition by Stewart

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.

Final: The final will take place in our class room on Wednesday, 12/11 3-6pm. Bring a picture ID . You are allowed to use one hand-written cheat sheet, but no calculators, books or other notes. The material will be taken from the sections from which homework was assigned, and most problems will be similar to homework problems. The emphasis will be on the material after the midterm, so expect several integration problems, max/min, Lagrange multipliers and problems related to gradients and directional derivatives.
You may also want to try the problems of the second practice midterm and the practice final at the link below (which does not necessarily mean that my final will be very similar to the one there). Please bring paper (bluebooks not necessary).
