Mathematics 226 (Honours Advanced Calculus I), Fall 2018

• Math Bldg 200, (604) 822 4457, ilaba@math.ubc.ca
• Office hours (tentative): Mon 12-1, Thur 11-12, Fri 12-1, in MATH 200.
• The best way to contact the instructor is by email. Please note that email received on evenings and weekends will be answered on the next business day.
• If you cannot attend regular office hours due to schedule conflict, please make an appointment in advance. Drop-ins and same-day requests for appointments cannot always be accommodated.

• Vectors in 3-space (Chapter 10): vectors, dot and cross product, planes and lines, quadric surfaces, cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
• Functions of several variables (Chapter 12): graphs, limits, continuity, derivatives and differentiability, gradients and directional derivatives, implicit functio ns.
• Applications of partial derivatives (Chapter 13): extreme values of functions, minimization and maximization problems.
• Multiple integration (Chapter 14): double and triple integrals, changing variables, applications.

• Examinations: There will be one in-class 50-minute midterm, scheduled on Wednesday, October 17. and a 2.5 hour final exam in December, The date of the final examination will be announced by the Registar later in the term. All examinations will be strictly closed-book: no formula sheets, calculators, electronic devices, or other aids will be allowed. Attendance at the final examination is required, so be careful about making other committments (such as travel) before this date is confirmed. Please take this seriously. In the past, the final exam in this course has been scheduled as late as Dec. 21.)
  
  
• WebWork: WebWork problem sets will be assigned weekly. In order for your grades to be recorded properly, you have to access problem sets through Canvas. The first problem set (not graded) will be an introduction to WebWork, for those who have not used it previously. To allow for minor illnesses, technical difficulties with WebWork, etc.), the WebWork part of your grade will be 110% of your total WebWork score^*, so that you can miss almost 10% of WebWork and still get full credit. (^*If this is more than 10 points, your WebWork score will be 10.)
  
  
• Written homework assignments: tentatively, there will be 4 assignments, due on Fridays, September 21, October 5, November 2, and November 16. These problem sets will have only 3-4 questions, but that will include proofs, and you will be graded both on the correctness of your mathematics and on the quality of your mathematical writing. For full credit, you will need to present complete and well written explanations; the correct answer alone will not be sufficient. Mathematical writing, and especially proof writing, will be addressed explicitly in class. Each assignment will be posted at least a week in advance. The homeworks are to be handed in at the beginning of class. If you cannot come to class, you may drop off your homework in MATH 200 before it is due. Late assignments will not be accepted. To allow for minor illnesses and other emergencies, the lowest homework score will be dropped.

• Please read the UBC policy on Student Conduct and Discipline.
• Mathematics Learning Centre: The MLC is a space for undergraduate students to study math together, with friendly support from tutors, who are graduate and undergraduate students in the math department. The MLC is located at LSK301 and LSK302 and is open 5 days a week 11am-5pm. Every undergraduate student studying Math is welcome here! In the MLC, students may join the study groups if students wish so. Please note that while students are encouraged to seek help with homework, the MLC is not a place to check answers or receive solutions, rather, our aim is to aid students in becoming better learners and to develop critical thinking in a mathematical setting. Check the website above for any additional information, changes to hours and announcements.

• UBC Math Club, located in Math Annex 1119, sells math exam packages (old exams together with solution sets) for a nominal price before each final exam session.
