Laboratories : The schedule TBA. Six laboratory meetings are scheduled. Each Maple lab meeting will require you to work in pairs and will conclude with a brief written report that will be graded. Attendance at all sessions is required. There are no make ups for labs however you can attend another session of the same week if you contact your lab instruction in advance (a week in advance at least).

Textbook: Hass/Heil/Weir Thomas's CALCULUS 14th Edition, Early Transcendentals, Person. Available as hard text, loose leaf or as an online e-text. "MyMathLab" will not be used in this course. Instructions for students to activate the online textbook and MyMathLab http://www.wpi.edu/~msarkis/MA1024/registration-instruction_CalcIII_IV_A17.pdf . The CourseID = johnson88896. If you have MyMathLab questions contact Michael Johnson by e-mail mrjohn@wpi.edu, SH-201B. If your question is about mathematics, contact Prof. Sarkis, the TA and PLAs or the TUTORS.

Course Description : This course is an introduction to multivariate calculus. The aim is to come up with natural generalizations in various coordinate systems of the concepts you have learned in single-variable calculus. We consider limits, partial derivatives and multiple integrals and their applications. We examine vector-values functions as well as functions of several variables.

Course Goals :

• Deepen you mathematical understanding and extend your calculus skills.
• Understand why as well as how various mathematical techniques or principles work.
• Appreciate the variety of real-world applications of calculus.
• Discover the underlying beauty of the subject (which sometimes emerges only after some drudgery).

Grades : A: 100% - 90%, B: 89% - 80%, C: 79% - 70%

• Homework, Participation, Effort 15%
• Quizzes: 9%
• Labs: 6%

Other Resources:

• M*A*S*H Leaders conduct several one-hour help sessions per week. These are held at the Academic Resource Center, 1st Floor of Dabiels Hall. Our M*A*S*H leader is Nick Kratovil. He is available for MA 1024 Students as follows: Tuesdays at 8pm in the Exam Proctoring Center (between Net Operations and Morgan Dining), and Wednesdays and Fridaysat 10am in the Academic Resources Center (Daniels Hall). If you are unable to attend these sessions, or are looking for individual help, they can schedule a tutoring appointment at tutortrac.wpi.edu.
• TUTORS: Several tutors for MA1024 will be available to you. The schedule will be posted at the Academic Resources Center in Daniel Hall. Also, tutors provided by the Mathematical Sciences Department will be available in the lower level of Stratton Hall. See the schedule: https://www.wpi.edu/~msarkis/MA1024/Aterm2017Schedule.pdf
