Welcome to Calculus III!   This course focuses on Vectors and the Geometry of Space, Partial Derivatives, Vector Functions, Multiple Integrals, and Vector Calculus.  The text for the course is Calculus, 4 rd Edition by James Stewart.  This is the same text that was used for Calculus 1 and 2 at Bryn Mawr last year.

You are encouraged to work together on the homework, but you should write up your own solutions.  You are allowed two late homeworks; these late homeworks must be turned in no more than one week after the due date.  

        The atmosphere of this class depends heavily on your participation and thus class attendance is essential!  Please call me or e-mail me if you are not able to attend class.

      Your final grade will be determined using the following percentages:

First Exam (Self-scheduled October 8-10)

Second Exam (Self-scheduled November 24-26)

Final Exam (Self-scheduled)

Exams may not be taken late without advance permission.  Extensions are usually granted ONLY for family emergencies, infirmary or hospital stays, or similar major crises.
