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 V in this course.
The Maple software is available in the campus computer labs. Our
work with Maple will be organized into Maple projects that
you can download from this web site, or will be handed to you
in class.
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:
Key: E1, E2,
and E3 correspond to Exams, FE = Final Exam, CW
= Class Work.
Class Work may include
collected homework, quizzes, Maple assignments or special projects.
At least 50% of the Final Exam will consist of questions on the
material discussed after the second exam.
