Introduction
MTH 243 is a third calculus course, with the focus on functions of 2,3, or more variables and the extensions of the ideas of elementary calculus to higher dimension.
We will continue to use Maple in this course. The Maple software is available in the campus computer labs. It can also be purchased from the RI Book Company at the Kingston Emporium at a special highly discounted price for use on your own personal computer. Our work with Maple will be organized into Maple Worksheets that you can download from the web site and which are also available in the campus computer labs. You will find more information below.
Exams and Evaluation
There will be three exams out of class times. The exact dates dates will be announced soon. A comprehensive final exam will be given during the regular final exam period. Locations will be announced in class. The exams will count 100 points each, the final 200 points, and 200 points will be based on work your instructor assigns in class. This will include Maple worksheets and quizzes, or special projects.
Help with Maple will be available and the information will be announced soon.
