The text is available at the bookstore or directly from the publisher at https://www.cengage.com/coursepages/Temple_MATH_2043 There are also videos solution of selected homework problems for this course here: https://math.temple.edu/ugrad/learning_tools/videos2043/.

Course Goals: To teach multivariable and vector calculus.

Topics Covered: Vectors in two and three dimensions, vector valued functions, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, integral calculus of vector fields.

Course Grading: Quizzes: 16%, Test 1: 25%, Test 2: 25%, Comprehensive Final Exam: 34%.

Exam Dates: We will have two common midterms, and a final exam. Test 1 - Monday, 7 Oct, (5:30-7:00 pm); Test 2 - Friday, 15 Nov, (5:30-7:00 pm); Final Exam - Wednesday, 11 December, (3:30 - 5:30 pm) You must set the above times aside for the tests. Tests will not be rescheduled without a legitimate reason.

Attendance Policy: Class Attendance is required. If you miss more than three classes without a valid excuse, your course grade will be dropped one notch, e.g., from B to B-. Missing more than 6 classes will result in a two notch drop in your grade, and so on.

Attendance and Your Health: To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to your instructors' requirements. However, if you feel unwell or if you are under quarantine or in isolation because you have been exposed to the virus or tested positive for it, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities. Students have the responsibility to contact their instructors to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as they are able to do so and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion when illness delays their completion.

Calculator Policy: No calculator or cheat sheets will be allowed on any exams or quizzes.

Make Up Policy: There will be no regularly scheduled make up exams. In the case of a DOCUMENTED EMERGENCY that prevents a student from taking a test as scheduled, the student must contact the instructor, the course coordinator (Dr. Chaudhry at chaudhry@temple.edu), and Director of Advising and Coordinated Courses (Professor Datskovsky at bdats@temple.edu) immediately in order to discuss alternative arrangements.

Homework: A list of suggested homework problems is posted on canvas. Doing all homework (including challenging ones) immediately after class is the best preparation for weekly quizzes and exams.

Quizzes: There will be a 20-45 min. quiz every week. The grading of the quizzes is based on work. When you do homework, practice including full work. There will be no make up quizzes.

Final Exam: Final Exam will be on Wednesday, 11 December, (3:30 - 5:30 pm). Exam rooms will be announced at least one week in advance of the exam. Important: please note that if you miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in, your grade for the course will be F.

CANVAS: This is a registered CANVAS course. Please check CANVAS daily for important announcements.

Exam Security Policy: We have a zero tolerance policy towards cheating. Students caught cheating on a problem in a test (receiving outside help, using unauthorized resources or devices such as calculators, online resources, etc.) will receive a score of 0 for the entire test. This is consistent with the Temple University Academic Honor Code (see https://secretary.temple.edu/sites/secretary/files/policies/03.70.12.pdf ) that states: "Every member of the university community is responsible for upholding the highest standards of honesty at all times. Students, as members of the community, are responsible for adhering to the principles of academic honesty and integrity". More serious penalties are possible and those caught cheating will be reported to the office of student conduct.

Tutoring Services: The Student Success Center (SSC, found in Charles library) and the Math TA and CA Consulting Center (MCC, Wachman 1036) both provide excellent free tutoring for this course throughout the semester. Information regarding these centers, including hours, will be posted on the course Canvas page. Please try these centers if you're feeling stuck, even if it's only for an hour. Some information can be found here: https://www.math.temple.edu/ugrad/tutoring/MCC.html and here: https://studentsuccess.temple.edu/.

Disability Statement: Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in Howard Gittis Student Center South, Rm 420 (drs@temple.edu; 215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the resources available to you. If you have a DRS accommodation letter to share with me, or you would like to discuss your accommodations, please contact me as soon as practical. I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities. All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential.

Academic Freedom: Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here (opens in new tab/window).

Add/Drop Policy: Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date. Check the University calendar (opens in new tab/window) for exact dates.

During the Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University Calendar (opens in new tab/window) for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here (opens in new tab/window).

AI Policy: The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) is not permitted in this class unless specifically announced for a particular assignment; therefore, any use of AI tools for work in this class may be considered a violation of Temple University's Academic Honesty policy and Student Conduct Code, since the work is not your own. The use of unauthorized AI tools will result in a grade of zero on the assignment; a second offense will be reported to the Student Conduct Board.

Incomplete Policy: The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here (opens in new tab/window).

Student Support Services: The following academic support services are available to students (all links open in a new tab/window):
    The Math Consulting Center
    Student Success Center
    University Libraries
    Undergraduate Research Support
    Career Center
    Tuttleman Counseling Services
    Disability Resources and Services
