Math 213 is a one-semester course in the calculus of several variables including:
During the semester, you will learn about four new types of functions:
Students will learn how to visualize, as well as describe mathematically:
Mathematical Skills: Students will develop mathematical skills to:
Study Skills: For most students, Math 213 is also the last mathematics course with a supporting recitation. Recitation work will also include developing group and individual study skills that will help students succeed in subsequent mathematics courses.
Problem-Solving Skills: Most homework problems in Math 213 require multiple steps for their solution. Students will learn how to solve multi-step problems and write up careful, step-by-step solutions.
Lectures introduce mathematical concepts and problem solving methods. Recitations provide problem-solving practice. You should print out the recitation worksheets for the semester and be sure to work on all of the suggested problems, even if they are not completed in recitation.
You should devote time outside of class to Math 213 every day. Here is a suggested weekly agenda:
| Sunday | Read and study the section in the text to be covered in Monday's lecture |
| Monday | Review material from Monday's lecture. Begin WebWork due Wednesday and prepare for Tuesday recitation |
| Tuesday | Continue working on WebWork due Wednesday; read and study the section in the text to be covered in Wednesday's lectures |
| Wednesday | Review material from Wednesday's lecture. Begin WebWork due Friday. Study for recitation quiz on Thursday and prepare for Thursday recitation. |
| Thursday | Continue working on WebWork due Friday. Read and study the section to be covered in Friday's lecture. |
| Friday | Finish WebWork due tonight. |
Remember that there is Additional webwork due on Monday, 23 September, Monday, 14 October, Monday, 28 October, and Monday, 25 November. Please modify the above schedule accordingly for these weeks!
Your course grade will be computed as follows:
| Web Homework | 40 |
| Lecture Attendance | 10 |
| Recitation Attendance | 10 |
| Recitation Quizzes | 40 |
| Three Evening Exams (100 points each) | 300 |
| Final Exam | 100 |
| Total | 500 |
Web Homework is typically due Wednesday and Friday (there are some webworks due on Monday; please see the course calendar for details). We will use WebWork and you should always access WebWork through Canvas! If you are not familiar with WebWork, you will find a brief introduction here
Lecture attendance is based on sign-in sheets distributed during lecture. Each student is allowed up to three unexcused absences during the term. If you believe you will have more than three excused absences from lecture, be sure to save documentation of illness or family emergency and be prepared to present this documentation during the last week of classes.
Recitation attendance will be taken at each meeting. Each student is allowed up to two unexcused absences.
Recitation quizzes are given each Thursday during non-exam weeks beginning with the second week of classes. They typically cover material from the previous week. There will be ten quizzes counting 4 points each.
Evening Exams will cover material specified on the course calendar. There will be ten multiple choice questions and four free response questions on each exam. The cover sheet of each exam will look like this.
The Final Exam will be comprehensive and will take place 6:00-8:00 PM on Thursday, December 19.
Letter grades will be as follows:
| A | 450-500 |
| B | 400-449 |
| C | 350-399 |
| D | 300-349 |
| E | 0-299 |
You may use calculators on the homework. You may not use a calculator that has symbolic manipulation capabilities. This precludes the use of TI-89, TI-Nspire CAS, HP 48, TI 92, Voyage 200, Casio Classpad or laptop computer. Also, you may not use your mobile phone, iPhone or Blackberry on any exam even if you forget your regular calculator. If it runs Android, GEOS, iOS, Linux, MacOS, PalmOS, Ubuntu, Unix, Windows, or similar operating systems, you cannot use it on the exams. Answers that are simply the output of a calculator routine or a single numerical or symbolic expression that have no supporting work will receive little or no credit on exams.
Any written solutions to problems in this course should be clear, legible, and well-written. Students should show all their work in an organized manner, using complete sentences to explain their solutions and justify their computations.
You should come to class prepared to work, pay careful attention to the instructor, and respect the right of other students to do so. Behavior such as reading email during class, texting, taking phone calls, updating your facebook page, reading the newspaper, interrupting classmates and speaking aloud without being called upon distract from the learning experience and infringe on the academic freedom of your fellow students. Instead, begin practicing the professional behavior that will be expected of you in the workplace! Students should only use electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, and portable computers to take notes on the lecture (transcription or still pictures only, please). Other uses (such as videotaping, web surfing or the use of social media) are not appropriate in the classroom.
Video and audio recordings are not permitted during the class unless the student has received prior permission from the Professors. If permission is granted, recording of other students is prohibited. Any distribution of recordings is also prohibited. Students with specific recording accommodations approved by the Disability Resource Center should present their official documentation to the professor. All content for this course, including handouts, assignments, and powerpoint lectures are the intellectual property of the instructors and cannot be reproduced, sold, or used for any purpose other than educational work in this class without prior permission from the professor.
If you are having any difficulty with coursework, please seek out help as soon as possible. You can visit your lecture or recitation instructor during scheduled office hours, or call or e-mail them for an appointment if the scheduled office hours are not convenient. We will do everything we can to help and want every student to succeed.
You can also find help at the Mathskeller and The Study.
