Text
Franke, Griggs, and Norris, Calculus III for Engineers and Scientists, included with WebAssign.
The course
Calculus III is the last course in the Calculus I, II, III sequence.
Student will learn about Vectors in the plane and in 3-space, differential calculus in several variables, differentiation and integration and their applications in several variables, vector fields, and line, surface and volume integrals, Green's and Stokes Theorems.
Course Outline
Attendance policy
Attendance will be taken each class. Attendance will be recorded, with no distinction made between excused and unexcused absences, except in the event of a missed test.
If you miss class or are late, you are still responsible for all material covered and assignments due.

Reading material
Prior to class meetings, students are expected to read the book, and to be prepared to discuss, course material in the text.

Here is the handouts, worksheets and also the notes I wrote for myself
when I prepared for a similar class in U of U , you are welcome to have it (be careful, it may have mistakes).
Lecture Notes, Worksheets, Handouts
Here is also a non comprehensive collection of
links that may help you to learn.
Exams:
Dates are fixed. No make up test will be given! Please plan your schedule around these dates now. (The links below are placeholders only, the actual files will appear right in time.)
Grading
Provided that you attended at least 70% of the lessons\receitations and have submitted at least 70% of the asignments
your grade will be determined by your scores on the tests (40%), the final exam (30%) and the assignments Recitations(15%) and WebAssign(15%).
Calculating your grade detail
-
Recitation or Webasign: if you had 10 assignments and submitted 7 for an average grade of 80 out of 100 - you contributed 80*0.15 = 12 out of 100 to your final frade.
If you submitted more then 7 - only the best 7 will count toward the final grade.
-
Tests: if an average grade of the best 3 out of 4 tests is 80 out of 100 you contributed 80*0.4=32 to your final grade.
