COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1.  Compute partial derivatives, directional derivatives and gradients,

      tangent planes and extrema of functions of two variables.

2.  Apply chain rules to multivariable and vector functions.

3.  Compute and apply area in the plane, double integrals and volume,

      center of mass, and moments of inertia.

4.  Compute and apply surface area, triple integrals and volume, double integrals in

      rectangular and polar coordinate systems, and triple integrals in rectangular, cylindrical,

      and spherical coordinate systems.

5.  Apply change of variables to evaluate integrals.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 5 - 20%
Homework problems
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 0 - 0%
None
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 70 - 95%
Multiple choice and free response exams; quizzes
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 10%
