Syllabus
Catalog Statement:
This course is the last course in the standard Calculus series at the UW, Math 221-222-234. This series is designed for students with majors in the Sciences or Engineering. Honors student interested in a theoretical approach should consider our sequence 275-276-375-376 instead of 221-222-234. Full credit is not allowed for both 234 and 223.Alternatives: Some majors in the school of business require Math 211-213 instead of Math 221-222-234. Math 213 has some content overlap with Math 234 and full credit cannot be received for both Math 234 and Math 213.
Prerequisites:
Math 222. Closed to students with credit for Math 223.
Grades:You will be able to achieve a total of 200 points in this class:
Exam 1 45 Exam 2 45 Discussion (Quizzes and Homeworks) 40 Final 70 Total 200 There will be two in-class midterms and one final. The scores will then be curved. The precise curve will NOT be determined until after the final exam. No make up exams will be given. If you need to miss an exam, please, contact your lecturer/TA. You will need to participate in the final to pass the class. University guidelines apply for scheduling/rescheduling a final exam.The discussion grade is the sum of the quiz grades (3 points each) and the homework grades (1 point for each submitted homework). Quizzes are generally on Thursday mornings. There will be no make ups for quizzes, but I will drop the lowest quiz score.Exams:
Bring your student ID to each exam. Calculators are very useful in practical problems, but they can compensate for a lack of basic understanding. Therefore, calculator and other computing devices will not be allowed on exams in this course. There will be no make ups for exams. Please, contact your lecturer, if you have to miss an exam.Homeworks:
Homework problems will be assigned during lecture. Solutions must be handed in to your TA at the due date in discussion.
Making the most of your Math class:
attend the lectures and the discussion sections.In many years of teaching I found that nonattendance almost always goes along with poor grades.start working on the homework assignments EARLY. If you cannot do a problem, ask for help. Hand in your attempts. Consider the homework as practice for the exams.if you need help, don't delay. Go to see your TA or Lecturer. If you wait until almost the end of the semester, it is too late to make a significant impact on the grade.
Getting Help:If you are having difficulty, first talk to your TA or Lecturer. If you cannot come to the scheduled office hours, make an appointment to see either at a different time. Here are some other places you can get help:Math Tutorial ProgramPlease, contact, Dr David Camacho (321 Van Vleck) for that in the first 3 weeks of classes.Math Lab:The math Lab is is an especially good place to go if you have a quick homework question; more detailed questions are probably better directed to your TA.Location: B277 Van Vleck Hall (across from the Mathematics Library)
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 3:30 - 8:30 pm, and Sunday 3:30 - 6:50 pm.
Dates: starting the second week of classes (usually), through the end of the semester.
Cost: Free.Private Tutoring:The Mathematics Department publishes a list of Mathematics graduate students who are willing to tutor students; copies are available on the second floor of Van Vleck Hall, next to the elevators.Location: Varies; many tutors will meet in Van Vleck Hall: some will meet off-campus.
Cost: Fees vary from tutor to tutor; typical costs are $20 to $30 per hour.Math BoardThe Math Board is a wooden board with slots labelled for many of the departments mathematics courses (101 through 632); interested students can fill out a card with information about themselves (name, course, instructor, contact information), and put that card in the slot which matches their course. Students can also read the cards that have been placed into the various slots, and use the information from the cards to contact one another to set up study groups, etc.
