Information about the textbook, the topics, the marking scheme, and policies can be found in the Course Outline.
This course is using UBC's Canvas system: more detailed information will be available there.
We are the using the UBC textbook CLP–III Multivariable Calculus by Joel Feldman and Andrew Rechnitzer. It is freely downloadable from the link above.
For additional practice problems or for alternate coverage of the material, we suggest APEX Calculus Volume 3 (Version 3.0) by Gregory Hartman (freely available) and/or "Multivariable Calculus, Stewart, 7th Edition" (traditional textbook).
TBA!
Optional problems: There will be suggested practice problems
from the book and other sources which will not be collected or marked
for credit.
You are encouraged to do lots of problems, this is the best way to
learn the subject.
There will also be optional WeBWorK, which will not count towards your
mark for the course. Initially its due date will be the same as the
required WeBWorK assignment. Answers will become available at the due
date. Optional WeBWorK is can also be accessed until the Final Exam.
Grade change requests: Any requests to reconsider grades (homework, midterm, etc) should include the regrade request form.
Email sent without "253" in the subject is very likely to be ignored.
Most of this information will be on Canvas, but provided here for reference before you have access to Canvas.
