Math 291, Honors Multivariable Calculus

Lectures by Eric Carlen

The class meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays form 5:00 to 6:20 p.m. in Beck 253, on the Livingston Campus. My office hours are 11-12 Monday and 3:30-4:30 Wednesday. My office is 632 Hill Center. My email is carlen at math dot rutgers dot edu.

Grading

There will be two in-class hour exams, worth 100 points each. There will be a final exam worth 200 points. There will be various homeworks, challenge problems, possible quizzes and Maple projects (see the syllabus), and these will count for an additional 100 points. The final grades will be assigned on the basis of the fraction of the possible 500 points that are earned.

Course Materials

The text for the course is my own text "Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. This is provided here, free of charge, online.
