MAC 3474 Calculus 3 Groisser - University of Florida Honors Program

For reasons of time and safety, I delete, without reading completely, anyemail that requires me to open an attachment whose nature or purpose Icannot easily determine without opening.Office Hours: Tentatively Monday and Friday 8th period (3:00-3:50), andTuesday 4th period (10:40-11:30). Please come early in the period or let me knowto expect you later; otherwise I may not stay in my office for the whole period.See my schedule for updates. Students who can't make scheduled office hoursmay see me by appointment on most weekdays (but never on a Thursday).If you have the flu or similar contagious disease, or think you might, pleasedo not come to my office.Text: Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th edition (6e). We will coverchapters 12-16 (with some omissions). Topics will include:vector algebraequations and graphs of lines, planes, and quadric surfacesvector-valued functions and their applications to motion and curves inspacearclength and curvature of curveslimits and continuity of functions of several variablespartial derivatives and the gradient vectorsmooth surfaces and their tangentmaxima and minima of functions of several variablesLagrange multipliersmultiple integrals in Cartesian and non-Cartesian coordinate systemsvector fields and their derivativesline integrals and surface integralsthe fundemental integral theorems for vector fieldsI discourage the use of solutions manuals. To learn mathematics, you need to seea small number of problems worked out, just to see the principles illustrated; youneed to do a large number of problems by yourself. The textbook problems that Iassign are selected to be doable based on what should be your accumulated storeof knowledge and skills, plus the material in the textbook up to that point. In thelong run, you will learn more by struggling with a problem unsuccessfully for twohours, than by giving up after a few minutes and looking at someone else'ssolution.Exams and Grading: Your final grade will be determined by the following:Three midterms (hour exams), each counting 20% of final grade. Tentativedates for the midterms are Feb. 3 (Fri.), Feb. 28 (Tues.), and Apr. 2(Mon.).
