Catalog Description: Sequences, Taylor's formula, and infinite series including power series. Basic multivariable calculus including parametric equations, partial derivatives with applications to optimization problems and double integrals.

This course will focus primarily on chapter 12 and parts of chapters 13, 15 and 16 in Stewart's Calculus book. The first half of the course will be devoted to infinite sequences and series. The second half will include the study of vectors, lines, planes, functions of several variables (mostly two variables), partial derivatives, linear approximations, double integrals, and perhaps some maxima-minima theory of time allows. The computer algebra system, Maple, will be used in this course, and while we may not use Maple extensively, you can expect to be familiar with its use by the end of the course.

Your grade in this course will be based on a total of 600 possible points. There will be three hour exams near the end of each month of the semester, each worth 100 points. Homework will be assigned and portions of it graded regularly. All homework combined will be worth 100 points. A comprehensive final exam given at the end of the semester will be worth 200 points. This course will require your close attention and most diligent effort. Remember that your grade will depend primarily on the new things you learn or relearn, and not on methods you may have relied on in the past.
