Math 2374

IT Multivariable Calculus and Vector Analysis

Hello and welcome to the Math 2374 home page. This page may be revised from time to time during the semester. Make sure you are using the latest version. We will always announce in lecture when this page has been revised. Date of this revision: 12/14/03.

At this homepage you can get a copy of the syllabus and copies of the labs.

Final Exam Information:

Your final exam is on Monday, December 15th from 1:30 to 4:30pm. Makeup exams will only be given in extreme circumstances; generally the only reason is that you have two 2000-level math classes (say, 2373 and 2374) which would require you to take two finals at the same time. If this is your situation, go to Vincent 115. Any other situations should be discussed with your lecturer. Room assignments are as follows:

Sections	Room
11, 12	Smith 231
13, 14	Smith 331
21-25	Smith 100

• We will hold extra review sessions during the regularly scheduled lecture times on Friday, 12/12: 8:00am in Fraser 102 and 1:25pm in SciCB 325.
• I know about the following extra office hours so far; if I hear about more I'll post them.
  • Jonathan (lecture 20) Monday, 12/15 from 9:30ish to 12:30ish.
  • Jeremy (sections 13, 14) Saturday, 12/13 from 1-3
  • Duane (lecture 10) Monday, 12/15 from 9-noon
• If you wish, you can read the Final Exam Cover Sheet [pdf] so you have a better idea what to expect.
• Note that you can use one half of a standard 8.5x11 sheet of paper covered with notes on the exam.
• Here's a sample final exam from a recent semester; this is the same one you've used for homework assignments all semester. Because it's used for homework, we probably won't post solutions, but you can always write to your lecturer or TA to ask about a specific problem. One exception: here are some hints about #2.
• Here's a portion of another recent final exam. Turns out we also had some old solutions [pdf] to these problems.
• Here's a study guide [pdf] for the final exam.
• Here's a Review of the Fundamental Theorems [pdf]

    • Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals and Path Independent (conservative) Vector Fields (10/15/03)
      (This doesn't actually include the examples we did together, where we drew curves over vector fields and decided if their integrals would be positive or negative.)
