You must be comfortable with ordinary differentiation and
integration, as well as basic algebra and trigonometry, in order to do
well in the course. If you are rusty, it is highly recommended that you
review this material now.

Course Structure:
-
The approach to vector calculus used in this course emphasizes geometric
visualization, not just algebraic manipulation. This approach has been
developed as part of a national effort to improve the teaching of vector
calculus. Further information can be found on the
project website.
A partial list of course goals can be found here,
which address the official
MTH 254 Learning Outcomes.
A description of the grading policy can be found
here. Finally, a discussion of the expectations
on written assignments can be found here.

homework and exams. Expect group activities almost every day, and
assigned homework at least weekly.
