COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will cover the key ideas from chapters 12-15 of Edwards and Penney. This is a subset of the syllabus for 18.02 (Multivariable Calculus). For more detail, see the syllabus.
Text Book: Multivariable Calculus by Edwards and Penney
Problem Sets: There will be five problem sets. PSETs #1 and #3 will be due on a Monday in lecture. PSETs #2 and #4 will be due on a Wednesday in lecture. PSET #5 will be due on a Monday night. Students are encouraged to work with others, but each student must write up his or her own solutions. Students must list the names of all collaborators on the front page of the problem set.
Exams: There will be a midterm on Wednesday July 10, another midterm on Wednesday July 24, and a final exam on Thursday August 8. The midterms will occur during the lecture period.
