Text: Concept and Context Multivariable Calculus by Stewart 4^th Edition

ISBN-13: 978-049556054

Calculus of functions of several variables. Topics include vector functions, partial derivatives, transformations, the derivative as a matrix, chain rule, directional derivatives, gradients, second derivatives; and multiple integrals, substitution rule, Jacobians and vector Calculus. Please note: Because MATH 240-241 is the final part of a three-semester calculus sequence, it should be taken as soon as possible after MATH 141.

Prerequisite: Calculus II or equivalent. Exposure to Linear Algebra is highly desirable.

Material to be covered:

MA 240 students are not required to study Chapter 13

We hope to cover Chapters 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

A few sections will be omitted due to time constraints.

Homework assignments will be given at the end of each class. However, homework assignments will not be collected but will be partially discussed in class.

Exams: 

There will be five one -hour exams, all in class:  [7/22, 7/29, 8/5, 8,/12, 8/22]

Grading Procedure:

Each exam is worth 20% of your final grade. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS.

Academic Honesty: The University of Massachusetts academic honesty policy is in effect. In particular, always be sure to give proper attribution for work or ideas that are not your own.

STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MATERIAL COVERED IN CLASS.
