    September 14:
  • SECTION 1 (Thursday at 10:30): We are moving classrooms until further notice. Section will be held in room 100 in Shaffer Hall.

    September 9:
  • Recitations were cancelled for Sept 8, so no worries if you weren't there. Please return next week (9/15), so we can celebrate the joys of multivariable calculus together.
  • Many people who did arrive had questions about getting into various lectures and recitations. As far as I know, it appears that the lectures at noon are full, yet many of you still would like to sign up. Attend the lectures are recitations you would like to attend, for the time being, and we will iron out things with the registrar later.
  • NOTA BENE! The information on this page is a work in progress and the finer details are subject to change. Please check the course website and revisit this page for more up-to-date information.

  • Homework Policy

    Homework will be assigned weekly, and will be collected during recitation. I ask that you please turn them in on time. I understand that there may be occasions when you will turn in homework late, but I reserve the right not to accept it. Homework will be graded for quality and completeness.

    Advice

    At present, I only have two pieces of advice. First, I highly recommend working in groups. Unless there are strenuous objections, I will assign each person to a group of four or so people. It will be very difficult to learn all of the material by yourself, but you can find additional support among your peers. As my second piece of advice, I recommend reading Dr. Zucker's comments on learning at a collegiate pace. This information is invaluable and you will eventually realize that this is the only way to learn well. When you realize it is another matter entirely.
