Math 2110 -- Multivariable Calculus -- Fall 2014

office: MSB 222
office hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday -- 11:00am - 1:00pm (to confirm time, send me email before coming)

HW: read the assigned sections, including examples, and do the suggested exercises. Ask questions in class.

Grading policy: there will be 5 tests in class, one after each chapter. Each chapter test contributes 20% for the final grade. The final exam can replace up to two chapter tests (when the final grade is computed, the lowest scores are not included).

WebAssign will be setup within 1 week. With extended deadline and multiple attempts allowed, it is expected that each student will have 100% results on WebAssign HW. Each 1% missed on the WebAssign HW will be subtracted from the final results.

The textbook HW is not graded, but the tests will be based on these problems.
