Review sessions! Caner Koca will be holding review sessions May 6, 7, and 8 at 7pm in room P-131 in the mathematics building.
Extra Credit here. Problems will be added to this link as they become available.
Here are solutions to the practice midterm.
On the practice midterm, number 11 has been adjusted to correct a typo. The new number 11 should be easier.
A practice midterm is now available.
Friday, Feb 22 - Attendance is optional. We will review.
Homework for section 11.7 has been pushed back to the following week. The two 11.6 homework problems are still due the week of Feb 18.
A change of plans: There will be only one midterm, not two, as stated earlier. The proportion of your grade corresponding to homework and exams has been updated.

MAT203 is a fun course! We'll begin by stepping out of that boring 2-dimensional blackboard and learn how to use mathematics to describe the 3-dimensional world we know and love. We'll apply what we already know about calculus to this new setting - nothing much new, just another dimension. All of a sudden we'll see that we can now describe a whole bunch of real world stuff like the best way to drive your math buggy accross wild rolling hills, compute the volume of a mineral to be mined underground, find out what's behind the capilary action of our veins, or predict how your rubber ducky will navigate a tub of turbulent water.

This is not a course about memorizing lots of tricks (like much of calculus II or calculus B). It's about being able to abstract what you already know to a new setting. Most solutions will come from your intuition, not a definite formula. If that intuition is ever missing or you ever become confused please seek help from your TA or myself. I genuinely want every student to get an A in this class, but you'll have to help me by getting us to help you.

Homework:

Homework is to be handed in to your recitation instructor.
Your recitation instructor has been informed that late homework is not to be accepted. The only exception would be accompanied by a doctor's note and your instructor's permission.
Homework spanning several sheets must be stapled.
Homework must be organized and neat. Messy homework is not to be graded. The TAs have to grade a lot, so please make their lives as easy as possible. A happy grader is a kinder grader.
Take pride in your work. I guarantee it will be reflected in your grade.

Homework listed below is subject to change. Please check often!
