1 CENTRAL TEXAS COLLEGE SYLLABUS FOR MATH 2415 CALCULUS III Semester Hours Credit: 4 I. INTRODUCTION A. Calculus III is a continuation course from Calculus II, which includes advanced topics in calculus, including: vectors and vector-valued functions, partial differentiation, Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals, and Jacobians; application of the line integral, including Green's Theorem, the Divergence Theorem, and Stokes' Theorem. B. This is a required course for an Associate in Science with a major in Mathematics. C. Prerequisite: A grade of C or higher in Math II. LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon successful completion of this course, students will: A. Perform calculus operations on vector-valued functions, including derivatives, integrals, curvature, displacement, velocity, acceleration, or torsion. (F1, F3, F4, F7, F9, F10, F11) B. Perform calculus operations on functions of several variables, including partial derivatives, directional derivatives, and multiple integrals. (F1, F3, F4, F7, F9, F10, F11) C. Find extrema and tangent planes. (F1, F3, F4, F10, F11) D. Solve problems using the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, Green's Theorem, the Divergence Theorem, and Stokes' Theorem. (F1, F3, F4, F7, F9, F10, F12) E. Apply the computational and conceptual principles of calculus to the solutions of real-world problems. (F1, F3, F4, F7, F9, F10, F12) III. INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS The Instructional materials identified for this course are viewable through IV. COURSE REQUIREMENTS A. Assignments are given in WebAssign and are due as scheduled by your instructor. The instructor will monitor students progress in completing the assignments.

2 B. Students are expected to attend every class, to arrive at each class on time, and remain in class for the entire period. Instructors may choose to lower a student's grade because of tardiness. V. EXAMINATIONS A. Examinations will be given at appropriate points during the semester. Each examination will be announced in class in advance. There will be two unit exams and a comprehensive final exam. B. Students who miss an exam should discuss with the instructor the circumstances surrounding the absence. The instructor will determine whether a make-up exam is to be given. It is necessary to make an appointment with the instructor for a make-up exam. VI. SEMESTER GRADE COMPUTATIONS A. The semester average is derived from the homework, quizzes, unit exams, and REQUIRED comprehensive final exam in MyMathLab. You must take the final exam and score at least 50% to pass the course. Final grades will follow the grade designation below: Grade Performance A % and 50% or better on the Final Exam. B 80-89% and 50% or better on the Final Exam. C 70-79% and 50% or better on the Final Exam. D 60-69% and 50% or better on the Final Exam. F 0-59% and 50% or better on the Final Exam. VII. NOTES AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS Withdrawal from Course: It is the student's responsibility to officially drop a class if circumstances prevent attendance. Any student who desires to, or must, officially withdraw from a course after the first scheduled class meeting must

3 file an Application for Withdrawal or an Application for Refund. The withdrawal form must be signed by the student. An Application for withdrawal will be accepted at any time prior to Friday of the 12th of classes during the 16- fall and spring semesters. The deadline for sessions of other lengths is as follows. Session 12- session 10- session 8- session 6- session 5- session Deadline for Withdrawal Friday of the9 th Friday of the 7 th Friday of the 6 th Friday of the 4 th Friday of the 3 rd The equivalent date (75% of the semester) will be used for sessions of other lengths. The specific last day to withdraw is published each semester in the Schedule Bulletin. Students who officially withdraw will be awarded the grade of "W" provided the student's attendance and academic performance are satisfactory at the time of official withdrawal. Students must file a withdrawal application with the college before they may be considered for withdrawal. A student may not withdraw from a class for which the instructor has previously issued the student a grade of "F". B. An Incomplete Grade: The College catalog states, "An incomplete grade may be given in those cases where the student has completed the majority of the course work but, because of personal illness, death in the immediate family, or military orders, the student is unable to complete the requirements for a course..." Prior approval from the instructor is required before the grade of "I" is recorded. A student who merely fails to show for the final examination will receive a zero for the final and an "F" for the course. C. Cellular Phones and Beepers: Cellular phones and beepers will be turned off while the student is in the classroom or laboratory. D. Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA): Disability Support Services provide services to students who have appropriate documentation of a disability. Students requiring accommodations for class are responsible for contacting the Office of

4 Disability Support Services (DSS) located on the central campus. This service is available to all students, regardless of location. Explore the website at for further information. Reasonable accommodations will be given in accordance with the federal and state laws through the DSS office. E. Civility: Individuals are expected to be cognizant of what a constructive educational experience is and respectful of those participating in a learning environment. Failure to do so can result in disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. F. Advanced Math Lab: The Math Department operates an Advanced Mathematics Lab in Building 152, Room 145. All courses offered by the Math Department are supported in the lab with appropriate tutorial software. Calculators are available for student use in the lab. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities. See posted hours for the Advanced Math Lab. G. Office Hours: Full-time instructors post office hours outside the door of the Mathematics Department (Building 152, Room 223). Part-time instructors may be available by appointment. If you have difficulty with the course work, please consult your instructor. VIII. COURSE OUTLINE A. Lesson One: Vectors and the Geometry of Space a. Write the component form of a vector. b.
