           Course Description: This course is designed to broaden the perspective in Calculus from
           a one dimensional point of view to a multidimensional one. The process not only requires a
           generalization of basic concepts like differentiation and integration, but also the introduction
           of some new notions: polar coordinates, vectors, (oriented) curves and surfaces.The material
           proceeds step by step culminating with the most important theorems of Calculus in Three
           Dimensions: Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem  and the Divergence Theorem. During the
           course, the students will be provided the opportunity to demonstrate their computational skills
           and their understanding of the basic concepts in Mathematical Analysis.

        The text is Calculus by James Stewart, Chapters 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

          Homework Assignments: About twice a week the students will be required to turn in an
          assignment which will consist of 15-20 problems given in class- additional problems will be
          assigned at the request of the students.Also, at the beginning of each class randomly selected
          students will be asked to answer questions related to the reading assignments they received in
          the previous lecture.

          Grading and Exams: There will be two tests and a final. The average of the tests and final
          exam will be 60 % of the final grade and the homework assignments will represent the remaining
          40%. Make-up exams will be administered only in extreme cases.Cheating will be penalized by
          at best giving a lower letter for the course grade.The test dates are : Tuesday 06/05, Wednesday
           06/20, Friday 06/29.

          Course Policy: Class attendance is expected.If you miss a class it is your responsability to
          get the material and the homework assignments from your colleagues.You may discuss your
          homework assignments with each other, but the solutions should be written up individually.
