Prerequisites: Mastery of the material from MAT 1225 and 1226 (Calculus I and II) is essential. Some of the content from MAT 2401 (Linear Algebra) is also required. Some basic familiarity with Maple will also be expected. Course Materials: Textbook: Calculus , 5th edition, by James Stewart. See the attached schedule for details of the material to be covered. A variety of valuable supplements for the textbook are also available for purchase, including a student solutions manual and a study guide, but they are not required. Computer Software: The class will meet in a computer classroom equipped with one PC for every two students. In this class, we will make substantial use of Maple, a computer algebraic system. Maple is available for use on computers in labs throughout the campus. You are also encouraged to purchase a copy of the software for use on your own computer since many homework assignments may require the use of the software. It will be available for purchase at a substantial discount for students using a discount code provided by your instructor. Most of your homework for the course will also be submitted online through WebAssign, so you will need to have access to a computer with an internet connection when working on homework. Please plan accordingly. University and Departmental Mission: Seattle Pacific University seeks to be a premier Christian university fully committed to engaging the culture and changing the world by graduating people of competence and character, becoming people of wisdom, and modeling grace-filled community. The mathematics department at Seattle Pacific University seeks to provide excellent instruction to enable our students to be competent in the mathematics required for their chosen fields, and to share our expertise with the community through service and leadership. Hence, common goals for students in mathematics courses include 1) becoming competent in the topics covered in the course, 2) demonstrating skills and attitudes which contribute to professional, ethical behavior, 3) the ability to communicate mathematically, in both written and verbal form, and 4) learning to appreciate the beauty and utility of mathematics. Course Objectives: This course provides an introduction to multivariable and vector calculus. The course covers vectors and analytic geometry in three dimensions, partial differentiation, multiple integration, and an introduction to line integrals. The primary aims of the course are to help students develop new problem solving and critical reasoning skills and to prepare them for further study in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering. By the end of the course, students should be able to ? recognize and sketch surfaces in three-dimensional space;
