Aim: In this course, we will build visualization skills in two and three dimensions and extend the concepts of calculus to two and three dimensions.
Undergraduate Catalogue listing: Vectors and geometry in two and three dimensions, matrix algebra, determinants, vector differentiation, functions of several variables, partial differentiation, linear transformations, multiple integration, and change of variables. The computer algebra system Maple will be used to explore some of these topics.
Prerequisite: Math 123.
Textbook: Vector Calculus , Second Edition, by Thomas H. Barr. We will cover Chapters 1-3, Chapter 4 sections 1-4, Chapter 5 sections 1-4,7-8. Time permitting, we will also cover sections 4.5, 5.5, 5.6, and 6.1.
Calculator: You are required to have a graphing calculator. If you are buying a calculator, investigate the calculator requirements for courses you plan to take in the future. The math department has a list of requirements and recommendations at this website .
Maple: You will be required to use Maple, a computer program, to aid and improve our visualization skills. It is available in computers in the campus computer labs.
Attendance: For most students, mathematics is learned best by steady effort. Class attendance is included as part of your class participation grade in order to encourage you maintain steady effort.
Homework: You will be expected to read relevant sections of the book, review your notes, and complete weekly homework. You are encouraged to talk with other people to learn the material, but when you write up your homework, you must do so alone.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given in class approximately once per week. Homework and quizzes will be returned within a week.
Communications: Academic correspondence must be through wmich.edu accounts. I will respond to email at least once per weekday.

These policies include cheating, fabrication, falsification and forgery, multiple submission, plagiarism, complicity and computer misuse. If there is reason to believe you have been involved in academic dishonesty, you will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct. You will be given the opportunity to review the charge(s). If you believe you are not responsible, you will have the opportunity for a hearing. More details about this procedure can be found at website of the office of student conduct, and an outline of the procedure can be found at this site . You should consult with me if you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to the submission of an assignment or test.
