M408D means calculus II, which includes sequences and series, some geometry including vector manipulations, and multivariable calculus. This is a lot, so the pace is punishing.

Prerequisite M408C with a grade of C. This is rigorously enforced; in fact a computer will automatically drop you from the course if you don't meet the prerequisite. This course is fast-paced and you must already have good compuational skills to succeed. The math department also offers a slower-paced calculus sequence, covering the same material in 3 semesters not 2. This is the M408KLM series, which some of you may prefer.

Homework will usually be due on wednesdays. Late homework will be returned ungraded. When averaging homework grades, I drop your lowest score before computing the average.

Exams are listed on the semester schedule below. I don't offer makeup exams. The final will be comprehensive but weighted toward the material in the last third of the course. The final exam is currently scheduled (by the university) for thursday May 10 from 2:00-5:00 pm. The room will be announced later. In exceptional circumstances the final exam may be used in place of a missed exam. This only applies for documented illnesses, a conflict with a religious observance or a conflict with another university responsibility (eg an away game for a varsity team). The last two only count if you notify me two weeks before. This is in accordance with university policy.

Grading: 15% homework, 25% each for two midterm exams and 35% for the final exam. The final course letter grades will be the A,A-,B+,B,B-,... scale.

TA: Evan Archer, archer@ices.utexas.edu, has office hours to be posted above. Evan will lead the discussion sections on MW; this will be partly explanations and examples chosen to amplify my lectures, and partly a question section. While I will cover most of the content of the course in class, you are fully responsible for anything covered in section.

Calculators: Calculators are useful for some computations. But they will not be allowed on exams. The problems will be written so that you will not need them.

Residential Hall Study Groupsfor natural science majors meet in Jester and Kinsolving 7:30-10:30 tursday evenings through sunday evenings. This is tutoring and group study. See cns.utexas.edu/community/resident-hall-study-groups for more information.

Jester Learning Center in the past has offered a free refresher course for M408D students, and other help such as worksheets and tutoring. I have heard nothing from them this semester, but I imagine it continues. Try their office is in Jester dormitory, A332A, and their websitehttp://www.utexas.edu/student/utlc/.

Students with disabilities: I will accomodate you; to set the process in motion, contact the office of the Dean of Students at 471-6259 (471-4641 for TTY).
