Spring 2006, UNT
Lecture: PHYS 112, MW 12:30-1:50pm
Instructor: Professor
Olav Richter
Course Description: In
Math 2730, we
will cover vectors and analytic geometry in 3-space, multivariable
functions
and their derivatives, extreme
values, double and triple integrals, and applications.
Prerequisites for Math 2730: Math 1720.
Textbook:
Homework: Here
is a
complete list of homework for this course. I will announce homework
assignments
in class. The assignments are usually
due on Wednesdays at the beginning of each class period. Late homework
will NOT be accepted for any reason. Your two lowest homework scores will be
dropped.
Math Lab: You may want to check out the UNT Math Lab (in GAB 440) to
get extra
help with the homework. Hours (Jan 23-May 5): Mo-Th 7am-9pm; Fr
7am-4pm; Sa
12pm-5pm (closed Sundays and Holidays).
Exams & Grading Policy: Your final grade will be based on homework
(your two
lowest homework scores will be dropped), two midterms, and a
comprehensive
final. The midterms will be on February 27th and on April 5h. The final
exam
will be on May 8th. Please make sure that you are available at those
dates,
since there will be NO make up exams!
The grade is comprised of
You are
encouraged to study
together and help each other throughout the semester. If everyone does
well,
everyone will receive a good grade.
Expectations: A fair amount of work is involved in
learning
calculus. You are expected to come to lecture on time. Plan ahead so
you are
not late. You should come to every lecture, and come prepared. It is
your responsibility
to obtain notes from another student if you miss class. You are
expected to
read the assigned sections and work on the homework problems
immediately after
they are assigned. You should be prepared to ask questions, take notes,
and
look alive in class. Please bring your text book to class and leave the
cell
phone at home. Repeat: NO CELL PHONES OR PAGERS!!! In addition to
attending
lecture, you should spend at least 6 hours per week on my course.
Extra Credit: Do NOT expect to be able to do some extra
work to help
your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be NO
extra credit
other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam.
Some Advice: Math is not a spectator sport. Work through
problems
and examples and text, instead of just reading. Make many notes in the
margins
and redo each and every example from the book and from lecture. You
will not
learn calculus from watching the professor or friends display ideas and
solve
problems. You must try problems, finish problems, ask questions,
correct your
mistakes, put concepts in your own words, and practice, practice,
practice! The
good news: A small increase in effort usually results in a big increase
in
success!
Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with
certified
disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation
from the
Dean of Students Office.
Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. Anyone
caught cheating will receive an F
in the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate
dean.
Lecture schedule: The following Tentative Lecture Schedule
gives
you an idea what material I intend to cover in this class, but
note that
the schedule might change often. You are responsible for all
announcements/assignments made in class!
