Textbook:

• Vector Calculus, sixth edition, by Jerrold E. Marsden and Anthony J. Tromba. Published by W. H. Freeman and Company, 2012.
  Math 20C covers most of Chapters 1-5. Math 20E covers most of the rest of the same book.
  
  
• WebAssign: You must also purchase access to the online homework system WebAssign for this textbook. Several options:
  1. The UCSD bookstore offers a bundle with the textbook (physical or eBook) plus WebAssign homework access. The hardcover, eBook, and special UCSD softcover textbook editions match. The bookstore lists one as required and the others as optional, but they match, so you just need to get one of these versions of the textbook, bundled with homework access.
  2. If you get the book without WebAssign access (such as a used book), you will need to buy WebAssign homework access for this textbook separately through your WebAssign account for this class. Expand the "Student Pricing" section on this page.
  3. You can purchase the eBook + homework access within WebAssign.
  4. The "Life Of Edition" (LOE) / "Multi-Term" version allows continued access if you take Math 20E (or repeat Math 20C) in a later quarter if the class uses the same edition of the same book.
  
  
• Optional: The student solutions manual for this textbook is available at the UCSD Bookstore.

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 exam quizzes except for a basic scientific calculator; the questions will be written accordingly.

Lectures: Lectures will have the form of pre-recorded videos. The lecture videos will be posted 3 times per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the quarter. See Calendar page of the class website for more specific information about the lectures.

Homework:  We will have online homework which will be graded.

• Online homework will be done using WebAssign. See the Homework page for details.
• Assignments will be due weekly at TBA unless otherwise announced.

Quizzes: 

Exams will have a form of quizzes. It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have scheduling conflicts involving the quizzes. There will be no make-up quizzes except in justified circumstances, in which case the quizz questions will have the same level of difficulty compared to the original quiz. The questions in the make-up quiz will be different as those on the original quiz.

Lectures and discussion sections:  Viewing lectures and participating in 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.

Grading:  Your composite score will be the weighted average of your percentages on homework and exams:

• Homework (40%)
• 6 quizzes each worth 12%, and the lowest score will be dropped. The last recorded quiz will be your final examination.

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.

• Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC) Tutoring: TLC offers tutoring on a drop-in basis in the Geisel Library (lower level, west wing) and online. Check those links for schedules and further information. This replaces the Math Department's "Calculus Lab" drop-in tutoring program.
• Supplemental Instruction: Weekly group study sessions lead by a student who took the same course recently. This is also run by the Teaching and Learning Commons. Students may attend on a drop-in basis.
• Private tutors: The math department (AP&M 7th floor desk) maintains a list of private tutors.
