This syllabus provides you with information specific to this course, and it also provides information about important university policies. This document should be viewed as a course overview; it is not a contract and is subject to change as the semester evolves. If a change is required in the course syllabus, an email will be sent regarding the update.

A continuation of MATH 243. Includes a study of multiple integrals, partial derivatives, and vector calculus.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Define and calculate dot products, cross products, derivatives and integrals of vector functions, arc length and curvature of space curves and other appropriate properties of vector functions.
• Define and calculate partial derivatives of functions of one or more variables.
• Define and calculate multiple integrals in appropriate coordinate systems, including volumes and surface area.
• Calculate quantities appropriate to vector calculus, including line and surface integrals, using the tools of vector calculus such as Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem and the Divergence Theorem.

Textbook

Calculus, (eighth edition) by James Stewart;
Cengage Learning, 2016 (ISBN 978-1-285-74062-1)

This can be purchased as a physical copy or obtained online as an e-book from Webassign when the student registers for the online homework through Blackboard.

Other Equipment/Materials

This class requires daily access to a computer with sound capabilities and high-speed Internet and students are expected to purchase the computer course code for assignments.

This course will be conducted in a "flipped" format. This entails the following:

• Every weekday I will conduct a Zoom meeting where I will answer your questions and do examples covering the scheduled topic.
• These meetings will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube immediately afterward each day.
• Prior to attending these meetings and/or watching the recordings, it is expected that the student has
  • Read the corresponding section in the textbook.
  • Read through the provided lecture notes and watched all videos provided in those notes.
  • Worked through the examples available in the section and the provided lecture notes.

Though this is an online class, participation is still crucial. "Participation" involves the student

• Reading the assigned sections thoroughly,
• reading through the provided lecture notes and watching all videos including updated videos added by the instructor throughout the semester,
• attending the Zoom meetings or reviewing the recordings daily,
• contributing to any and all class discussions in a respectful manner, and
• completing all online assignments, quizzes, and exams.

To be successful in this class, the student should be

• checking their student email daily,
• logging into the course at least five (5) times (or more) per week, and
• spending 15 to 20 (or more) hours per week doing homework, reading, and working out examples from the book and lectures.

Additionally,

• If the student is having difficulty with course material (including homework problems), they should promptly seek help. The instructor can be reached by email and by appointment.
• Electronic aids (e.g. calculators, cell phones, google glasses, etc.), notes, etc. are not allowed during any quiz or exam; using such aids during an exam constitutes cheating. (Devices approved by the Office of Disability Services (DS) for use during exams should be brought to the attention of the instructor, who will communicate with the DS office.)

Although the student may attempt to reach the instructor by phone but e-mail communication is always preferred. Feel free to e-mail the instructor with any questions or concerns following these guidelines:

• Always use the course name in the subject line of the email.
• The student should always remember to sign their name.
• The student should always email the instructor from their WSU email address. Email sent from personal email servers like Gmail, Yahoo, etc., have a tendency to end up in spam folders and thus, are never see them. The student may also email the instructor through Blackboard via the Email My Instructor tab.
• There will also be an Ask My Instructor forum on Blackboard which allows common questions to be seen and responded to publicly.
• The student should NOT contact the instructor for technical support.
  • Any technical problems involving student's computer, or issues regarding file uploading or sharing, should go through the OneStop. They can be contacted at 316-978-3909. Additionally, the student can also fill out a request for help form at their website.
  • However, if there is a problem with access or uploading assignments, the student should let the instructor know before the assignment is due. It is a good idea to accompany this notification with the file in question, so that the instructor can verify that it is completed by the due date/time.

The instructor will respond to your e-mails between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. If a student e-mails the instructor during the weekend, the instructor will respond at their earliest convenience.

WSU uses a +/- grading scale for final grades and to calculate grade point averages. In this class, grades are assigned according to the following. (Other classes might assign grades differently so be sure to understand the different grading scales in all of your classes.)

Percentage	Letter Grade	Interpretation
91%-100%	A	A range denotes excellent performance
90%	A-
87%-89%	B+
81%-87%	B	B range denotes good performance.
80%	B-
77%-79%	C+
71%-77%	C	C range denotes satisfactory performance.
70%	C-
67%-69%	D+
61%-67%	D	D range denotes unsatisfactory performance.
60%	D-
0%-59%	F	F denotes failing performance.
