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. The Mathematica software is available in the campus

Objectives. At the conclusion of this semester you will be able to:
Evaluation
There will be two exams and a
comprehensive final. The course grade will be computed as follows:
Course grade = ( 20 E1 + 20 E2 + 30 FE + 20 CW +10Math) / 100
Key: E1, E2,
and E3 correspond to Exams, FE = Final Exam, CW = Class
Work(Quizzes), Math = Mathematica.
Class Work consists of
quizzes.

Illness due to Flu The H1N1 Flu Pandemic may impact classes this semester. If any of us develop flu-like symptoms, we are being advised to stay home until the fever has subsided for 24 hours. So, if you exhibit such symptoms, please do not come to class. Notify your instructor of your status, and we will communicate through the medium we have established for the class.
