STUDENTS GUIDE FOR MATH 38 (Mathematical Analysis III) SECTION X Second Semester, AY 2012-2013

This is a 3-unit course with 2 hours of lecture (TTh) and an hour of recitation (W) in a week. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Infinite series, techniques and applications of partial differentiation and multiple integration COURSE PREREQUISITE: MATH 37 (Mathematical Analysis II) COURSE GOALS: Upon completion of the course, the students should be able to understand the concepts of sequences, series, differentiation and integration of functions of more than one variable and their applications. COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course, a student must be able to Determine convergence or divergence of infinite series using appropriate tests; Find the interval of convergence of a power series; Find the power series representation of functions; Determine limits and continuity of a function at a point and over a set; Find partial derivatives (explicit, implicit, chain rule and higher order); Find directional derivatives (if they exist); Find equations of tangent plane and normal line to a surface; Find extreme values of functions (constrained or unconstrained case); and Evaluate multiple integrals using rectangular, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates. COURSE MATERIALS: Copies of the lecture materials and supplementary exercises shall be uploaded in http://jfrabajante.weebly.com. Other books on Calculus may be used as supplements but these may not be exactly congruent with the course outline in terms of content and sequencing. References: Leithold, L.

Exemption Policy: If a student gets 75 or above as Pre-final grade, then the student is exempted from taking the Final Examination. The Pre-final grade shall be the Final grade. However, if the student takes the final exam, the Final Grade shall be computed as follows: Final Grade = 70% Pre-final Grade + 30% Final Exam The grading scale given below shall be used in giving final grades. Grading Scale: Raw Score Equivalent Raw Score Equivalent 96-100 1.0 70-74 2.5 92-95 1.25 65-69 2.75 88-91 1.5 60-64 3.0 84-87 1.75 55-59 4.0 80-83 2 0-54 5.0 75-79 2.25
