                                                MAT291H1F - Calculus III 
                                                    Syllabus - Fall 2017 
                
                
               Brief Course Description 
                
               This is a first course in multivariable calculus, covering: functions of several variables and the 
               gradient, multiple integrals and the Jacobian, line integrals, Green's theorem, divergence and curl 
               of a vector field, surface integrals, Stokes' theorem and the divergence theorem (and how they 
               are  applied  in  an  application  context),  constrained  max/min  problems  and  the  method  of 
               Lagrange multipliers. Students will be required to solve standard computational problems and 
               understand the main concepts, definitions, and theorems in each section covered, including the 
               supplementary notes. 
                
               Developing your ability to think precisely and mathematically is an important objective.   The 
               foundations of many courses you will take in your remaining two years are based on the material 
               that we will cover in this course. Your instructors and TAs are available for help should you 
               encounter any difficulty.

               the  website.  Please  visit  the  website  regularly.  The  two  instructors  for  the  course  will  hold 
               weekly office hours. From time to time, your instructors or TAs may wish to contact you with 
               announcements via email. You are required to maintain a working utoronto.ca email address for 
               this course. It is crucial that your email on ROSI (which appears on blackboard) is a utoronto.ca 
               or equivalent email address. 
                                             
                 Textbook 
                  
                 Briggs, Cochran and Gillett: Calculus for Scientists and Engineers: Early Transcendentals, 1st 
                 edition (15 chapters); same book as last year. 
                  
                 Tutorials 
                  
                 Every student is registered in one Tutorial Section. You must attend the Tutorial Section to 
                 which you have been assigned.  
                  
                        Those students attending Lecture Section 1 will be in either Tutorial Section 1 or 2. 
                        Those students attending Lecture Section 2 will be in either Tutorial Section 3 or 4. 
                        Those students attending Lecture Section 3 will be in either Tutorial Section 5 or 6.  
                  
                 Tutorials begin the week of September 12. There will be no tutorials or quiz the week of October 
                 9 and no quizzes the week of October 30. During your tutorials your TA will discuss some 
                 problems  from  the  suggested  homework  problems  in  the  first  1.5  hours  of  the  tutorial. 
                 Consequently, to get the most out of your tutorial you must keep up to date with the homework 
                 and come prepared to ask questions, in case you have any. This is a relatively fast-paced course, 
                 and regular attendance in your tutorial is an essential component of this course. The Schedule of 
                 tutorials, assigned problems and Quiz coverage is described in a separate document entitled: 
                 MAT291 Schedule 2017. 
                  
                 Quizzes 
                  
                 Each week, during the last 25-30 minutes of the tutorial session, except during the week of the 
                 midterm  and  Thanksgiving  week,  there  will  be  a  quiz  based  on  the  assigned  homework 
                 problems. This is to encourage you to work through all the homework problems before attending 
                 the tutorial, and help you get the most out of the course. No make-up quizzes will be offered. 
                 There will be 9 formal quizzes and a Quiz 0 which is not mandatory but could be beneficial to 
                 some students for the following reasons:  
                  
                        it will be used to identify those students who have not mastered some key material from 
                         the previous year. 
                        it will allow us to identify those students whose final course grade should be adjusted if 
                         they are close to a threshold grade such as passing the course or achieving an honors 
                         grade. 
                        it will be of some assistance as background material for quiz 8 and quiz 9. 
                  
                 Quiz 0 will be assigned a grade of pass or fail.  
                  
                 We will only count your top 8 quiz marks. If for whatever reason you miss a quiz because of 
                 sickness you will forfeit that quiz and we will count all quizzes. If you miss two quizzes then 
                 your  grade  for  the  second  missed  quiz  will  be  assessed  as  follows:  we  will  compare  your 
                 performance on all of your quizzes to other students that performed similar to you. We will then 
              look at the grades of these students on the quiz that you missed. Your assessed grade on the 
              second missed quiz will be similar to one of these students.  
               
              Take away message: it is in your interest to attend quizzes. You will improve your odds at doing 
              better than if you missed the quiz.  
               
              Quiz solutions prior to the midterm will be posted before the midterm and the solutions to the 
              remaining quizzes will be posted at the end of term. 
               
              Also, in the last half hour of the tutorial, prior to writing the quiz, you will be requested to pack 
              all books, bags and coats away, either at the front or back of the room. The quiz question will be 
              written on the blackboard and you should bring a piece of paper with you. Do not forget to write 
              out your name and student number on the piece of paper.  
               
              The TAs responsible for conducting the tutorial, administering the quizzes in the last half hour of 
              the tutorial and grading your quizzes are listed as follows:

              Midterm Exam 
               
              There will be one 110 minute midterm exam to be held on Wednesday Nov 1 from 6:10-8 pm. 
              Details of room assignments for the midterm will be posted on the course website before the 
              exam date. There will be no make-up exam. The cover page of the midterm exam will have a 
              box on it in which you must indicate your tutorial section number. Please do not forget to enter 
              this number on the cover page of the midterm exam. You will lose 5% of your midterm grade 
              if you put in the incorrect tutorial number or leave it out altogether. Any concerns regarding 
              the grading of the midterm should be directed to Antoine Landry. He can be contacted by email 
              at: alandry@ece.utoronto.ca 
               
              No solutions for the midterm nor prior midterms will be posted. You can discuss what you did 
              incorrectly with the tutorial assistant assigned to your section. 
               
              Final Exam 
               
              A summary of what the final exam will cover will be posted on the last week of term. No 
              solutions to prior final exams will be posted. 
               
              Remarking Procedure 
               
              Your midterm exam and quizzes will be returned to you in the tutorial section in which you are 
              registered, usually within one week of being written/submitted. All questions regarding grading 
              of quizzes should be directed towards the TA assigned to grading your quiz and not to your 
              instructor.  In  some  instances  you  may feel  that  you  have  been  graded  unfairly.  If  you  have 
              written your midterm/quiz in pencil, then you must submit a request for regrading (with written 
              justification) before the end of the tutorial in which the work was returned. If you have 
              written your midterm/quiz in pen, then within three days of the work being returned to you, 
              you can do the following: 
               
                 1.  First compose a short note justifying why your grade should be changed. We will not 
                     respond to frivolous requests. An addition error is an obvious reason for a remark. 
                 2.  Email your justification for a grade increase to the TA assigned to grading your quiz, or 
                     to  Antoine  Landry for the midterm and make an appointment with him/her if he/she 
                     agrees that a remark is warranted. Please note that regrading may result in your mark 
                     being lowered.  
               
              Missed Term Work 
               
              If  you  miss  a  quiz  or  midterm  deadline  for  a  legitimate  and  serious  reason  which  you  can 
              document, you must submit an online Term Work Petition via the Engineering Portal. Please 
              scan your medical documentation and attach it to your petition. All of this documentation 
              must be submitted online no later than 7 days after the date of the quiz/midterm exam. For 
              situations other than sickness you should contact the Undergraduate Office to confirm that the 
              reason for your absence is admissible. If accepted, you must submit a petition online. 
               
              Marking Scheme 
               
              Your final mark will be calculated as follows: 
               
                                 Share of Final Mark               Deliverable 
                                         30%                         Quizzes 
                                         30%                        Midterm
