UND Math 265: Calculus III

Instructor: Anthony J. Bevelacqua. (e-mail: anthony.bevelacqua@und.edu)

Course Text: The text is Multivariable Calculus, 1st or 2nd edition by Jon Rogawski.
Course Structure: There are 26 lessons in the course. Each lesson, except numbers
8, 18, and 26, is made up of two parts: (1) a NOTES portion of 3-5 pages giving a brief
outline of the topics covered in the assigned sections, possibly with a few additional
examples, and (2) a selection of exercises to be submitted for grading. Each of these
lessons must be submitted as a single .pdf file. Lessons 8, 18, and 26 are examinations
covering the material of the lessons 1 7, 9 17, and 19 25 respectively. For the
exams: No books, no calculator, no cell phones, etc. will be allowed. For each exam you
may use one 3in 5in card (or piece of paper) with any information you care to have
written on it (both sides if you want!). This card is to be turned in with the exam papers.

Lesson 01 Vectors in the Plane and in Space

Lesson 25 Divergence and the Divergence Theorem
Lesson 26 Exam 3
Grading:
Each assignment will be graded on a scale from 0 to 50, and an overall average of the 23
assignments will be computed. That average will count as one quarter of your final
grade. When writing up the solutions for problems to be submitted, be sure to show all
the steps leading to the solution. Answers presented without supporting work will
receive minimal credit if any credit at all. There will be a total of 400 points distributed
as follows:
Lesson 8: Examination I - covering lessons 1-7:
Lesson 18: Examination II - covering lessons 9-17:
Lesson 26: Examination III - covering lessons 19-25:
Average of 23 written assignments:
Grades will then be determined as follows:
360 - 400 total points - Final grade A
320 - 359 total points - Final grade B
280 - 319 total points - Final grade C
240 - 279 total points - Final grade D
0 - 239 total points - Final grade F
