Good
luck on the final exam! ö
(and
happy St. Patrick’s Day too.)
Be
sure you know when your final exam time is:
If you’re in Lecture A (8:00 a.m.-8:50 a.m.) your exam time is
Monday, March 18, 8:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.
If you’re in Lecture B (9:05 a.m.-9:55 a.m.) your exam time is
Wednesday, March 20, 8:00
a.m.-11:00 a.m.
***
Sean won’t be holding office hours Monday, March 18 or Tuesday, March 19 for
B03-B06.
(I have my own finals to take!)
***
I have prepared a statement about my grading
philosophy to help direct you in your studies and give you a reasonable
expectation of the type of partial credit you might be awarded for various
kinds of mistakes. Please read it and
prepare yourselves adequately.

Solutions for Midterm #1 and Midterm #2 are available below
in PDF and PS formats. (So you’ll need
either Acrobat Reader or some other program that will open PDF or PS
files. You can download the latest
version of Acrobat 5.0 here. It’s free.)
The solutions are for the B00 lecture test, so for those in the A00
lecture, you will have to adapt the solutions to the problems you had. (The tests only differed in that the numbers
were slightly changed. The actual
solution methods should still be valid.)

This course is an introduction to analytic geometry and calculus in several variables. The material will be drawn from the following chapters from the 4th edition of the textbook, Calculus, by James Stewart:
10. Parametric Equations
12. Vectors and the Geometry of Space
13. Vector Functions
14. Partial Derivatives
15. Multiple Integrals
Your grade will be determined by curving a final course score that will be made up of the following components:
Homework: 10%
Midterm #1: 25%
Midterm #2: 25%
Final Exam: 40%
Homework is assigned weekly (on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in class) and is due the following Tuesday in section. The homework assignments will be posted on the web. Midterm #1 will be given on the Friday of the fourth week in class (February 1). Midterm #2 will be on the Friday of the eighth week (March 1).
It will make your TA's job a lot easier and greatly decrease the chance of an error in the calculation of your grade if your section number (either A01-06 or B01-06) is included on all work that you hand in.

Eric Schechter, a professor from Vanderbilt University (ed. note-my alma mater), compiled a list of the most common errors made by undergraduates in mathematics. Most of us are guilty of committing any number of these mistakes at one time or another, so pay close attention to these things:
This link, also created and maintained by Vanderbilt professors, links you to some powerful calculus tools. One of its cool features is an applet that allows you to graph parametric equations:
