About the text: The required text is Marsden and Weinstein, Calculus, Vol. II.
Exams: There will be two midterm exams, both in-class, on Wednesdays that I haven't chosen yet. They will be announced at least one week in advance. The terminal exam will be given also in class on Monday, December 5. After that exam I will teach new material for the rest of the week, and we will have the last quiz on the last day of classes which is Monday, December 12.
Reading/Homework/Quizzes: Read the sections in the text or handout we cover in class immediately before or after each lecture. Homework problems from the text will be posted and updated here:
HOMEWORK
