Engineering Mathematics II:

Multivariable Calculus

22m:32, Spring 2004
Instructor: Frederick M. Goodman

Announcements:

HAVE A SPLENDID SUMMER!

GRADE ASSIGNMENTS: The line between B and A was approximately 86%, that between C and B approximately 75%, that between D and C approximately 60%, that between F and D approximately 40%. Percents refer to the course average. Borderline grades were adjusted up or down if warrented by the final exam performance. Approximately 25% of those who took the final exam got an A in the course and 58% a B or better.

FINAL EXAM HISTOGRAM

COURSE AVERAGE HISTOGRAM

1. Final exam at 9:45 am Mon 10 May 2004 - Rooms: 321, 65 CB (I will decide how to divide the class after I check out the rooms.)

Remember: on your exam paper, it's your job to make it obvious what your answer is, and to make sure that your answer is an answer to the question that was asked. It is also difficult to give partial credit when we cannot follow the work; to get partial credit, try to put your work into some sort of comprehensible order.

2. If you are having difficulty with this course, try to make the best use of the available resources: office hours, math-lab, discussion sections. Review frequently, not only just before exams. Go over each lecture within a day after the lecture, and make a note of any unclear points. Look at other calculus books for examples and exercises: there is a whole wall full of calculus books in the math lab.

Speaking of calculus books, Professor Stroyan's book is very good, but there is no reason to learn from only one book. Moreover, every science and engineering student ought to have one of the standard encyclopedic calculus books on his/her shelf for reference. I suggest that you buy a used one, slightly out of date, in order to get the best value.

3. Read course reviews and review your courses at http://uiowa.dogears.net/courseguide/.

Note: You need Mathematica or Mathematica Reader to read Mathematica notebooks. You can get a free copy of Mathematica Reader from http://www.wolfram.com/mathreader/ .

Here is the projected course plan, prepared by Professor Stroyan. I will try to stick to this plan, but may not be able to adhere to it strictly.
