Note: The best guarantee for success is knowing how to do every single type of problem. While most types show up below, some don't, and they may very well come up in this semester's exams. For example, finding the absolute maximum and minimum of a multivariable function in a bounded region (problem 14.7b handout 14.7), or sketching a vector-field.

VERY IMPORTANT:

• Attendance is strictly mandatory and enforced!
• No cell-phones!
• It is also mandatory to take notes of everything I say in class. Please buy a SINGLE-SUBJECT notebook, and write on the cover: Calc III Classnotes. Also write your name and E-mail (in case it gets lost). Don't use it for any other subjects.
• Also prepare a brown envelope and title it: Calc III Homework. The homework is to be inspected by the Recitation Leader. It will not be graded carefully, but the Recitation Leader's weekly quiz will contain homework-style problems, so if you do all your homework, you should ace the quiz.
• Take careful notes during the lectures (and recitations, of course, but use a different notebook for that), and do all the homework.
• If you have a justified absence, then in your notebook, in the space where you would have taken classnotes, date it, explain why you were absent (e.g. tape-in doctor's note, or a signed statement: "I swear on my honor that I felt so bad that I couldn't make it"), and then in your own handwriting copy all the worked-examples from the corresponding section(s) of the book.
• Every lecture will end with a 10-minute informal "quiz", asking you to do some problems covered in that day's class. It doesn't count towards the grade, but I use it first, to check attendance (it is more efficient than calling 90 names), but more important, to make sure that you know how to do the problems, and in case that many people didn't get it, I'll try to do a better job in reviewing it. After each lecture I will send E-mail to everyone, with the complete solutions, and you should decide whether or not you got it right. If you didn't, you should make every attempt to come to the next free tutoring session (Mondays 9:00-10:00am, SEC 117, Thursdays 9:00-10:00am, SEC 209).
