Math 233 FALL 2019
| 1. Homework |
|
Welcome to the page for Math 233! This course is about differential and integral calculus of functions of two and three variables. We will cover vectors, curves and surfaces in space, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, line integrals, and vector calculus through Green's Theorem. The prerequisite is Math 132, or a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Calculus Examination (BC version).
1. Homework:
We will be using WebAssign for homework. You can access WebAssign through Canvas using your access code.
If you have any questions about your access code or in general about WebAssign, you should contact WebAssign Technical Support at 1-800-955-8275 or Tyler Ferrell (tyler.ferrell@cengage.com).
There will also be a help desk session if you need help accessing Cengage Uunlimited. It will be held in Wrighton Hall near the entrance of room 300, August 28, 12:00PM-2:00PM.
I expect there will be 11 sets of homework
assignments. The two lowest homework grades will be dropped, and the remaining 9 will be counted towards your final course grade.
The homework is due on Wednesdays 6pm (starting from Wednesday September 11).
No late homework will be accepted.
There will also be weekly practice problems posted to this page.
2. TA Information:
The following Assistants to Instructors (AI) will be running the discussion sections every Tuesday (starting from Tuesday September 3):

Mark Mancuso: mark.mancuso@wustl.edu
In the discussion sections, you will work on problems in groups. Your work will be graded and will be part of your final course grade. We will drop two discussion section grades in computing your group work score.
All the Assistants to Instructors hold office hours in the Calculus Help Room , Lopata 403. Please refer to the Help Room schedule for the hours.
3. Exams:
There will be three evening exams during the semester, E1, E2, E3. There will also be a final F.
Solutions to the exams will be available the day after
each exam.
| Exam | Date | Location | Time | Solutions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | September 18 | TBA | 6:30-8:30PM | solutions |
| E2 | October 23 | TBA | 6:30-8:30PM | solutions |
| E3 | November 20 | TBA | 6:30-8:30PM | solutions |
| F | December 12 | TBA | 3:30-5:30pm | solutions |
Just before the exam, you can look up your exam room assignment on the web at this link: http://www.math.wustl.edu/seatlookup (the course number is 233 and the exam number for midterm one is 1)
You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time.
You should always bring your Washington University Photo ID to exams; proctors will check student ID's.
Calculator policy: NO CALCULATORS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR EXAMS.
Old exams: You can find the Calc 3 Exam Archive here .
4. Grading Information:
The three evening exams, E1, E2, E3, each out of 100, will each count for 18 percent of your course grade. The final exam F will count for 24 percent of your grade. Your WebAssign score (scaled from 100) will count for 14 percent, and your group work from the discussion sections would count for 8 percent of your grade.
If your final grade F is larger than the minimum of E1, E2, E3, then the minimum of the midterm exams will be dropped out and will be replaced by the final exam score.
For example, if a student obtains midterm exam scores of 86, 60, 74, a final exam score of 78, a WebAssign score of 88, and discussion sections grade of 82, then the 78 replaces the 60, and the course grade will be
Your letter grade will be based on the following scale:
| A+ | A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | C- | D | F |
| TBA | [90,100) | [87,90) | [83,87) | [78,83) | [74,78) | [70,74) | [65,70) | [61,65) | [50,61) | [0,50) |
Pass/Fail Policy: You must get at least a C- to earn a "Pass"
Policy on missed exams. If you are unable to take one of the Exams E1, E2, or E3 for legitimate reasons (such as verified illness or serious family emergency), you will not be given a make-up exam. You first should talk to Dr. Blake Thornton and explain why you missed the exam; if everything is in order, you will get an excused absence. Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a statistical procedure which uses your scores on the other taken exams including the Final. If you miss the Final exam, and for that receive an excused absence then you must take a make-up final exam (usually at the beginning of the spring semester).
