Advanced Calculus, Math 322

1 Introduction
This class is the continuation of Advanced Calculus I (Math 321).
This means you should now be skilled at presenting written proofs
and feeling comfortable with deciding how to to "solve" a
problem stated in the format used by the textbook. Our primary goal
for the semester is to finish the development of Taylor Series (Chapter 8)
and to extend our understanding of differential and integral calculus to
higher dimensions.
With such a small class, the most efficient way to proceed is to have
a "seminar" structure. This means there will be fewer lectures and much
more discussion of topics. In order for this to work well, everyone
must keep up with the reading and take careful note of those aspects of the
material that are easily understood and those that need to have more discussion.

2.3 Examinations
As long as everyone keeps up with the "seminar" structure there
will be no need for examinations. I reserve the right to implement
exams if it is necessary to stimulate more involvement in the class.
Final Examination
The final examination is scheduled for
| Friday | May 11, 2012 | 4:00-6:00 P.M. |
See above for more on the existence of exams.
2.4 Homework
A seminar structure requires us all to be working homework problems
and to present important ones to the rest of the class. These
presentations will always entail a written solution and possibly
an oral component when there are subtleties to discuss.
As with exams, I reserve the right to start requiring written solutions
to homework problems which will be graded.
2.5 Project
Depending on how much of the material we manage to cover
there might be oral projects
involving topics that spark your interest.
2.6 Course Information Updates
If you wish, I
will post (and update) a grade report on your current standing in the
class on my university web page.
To have your information posted you need to print your name, the
date, the class (MATH 322), and a code on a sheet of paper. Then
sign the paper and physically hand it to me. The code is to be a
sequence of up to 23 symbols I can type on a keyboard.

2.8 Emergency Response Information
Please review university emergency preparedness and response
procedures posted at http://www.pugetsound.edu/emergency/.
There is a link on the university home page. Familiarize yourself
with hall exit doors and the designated gathering area for your
class and laboratory buildings.
If building evacuation becomes necessary (e.g. earthquake), meet
your instructor at the designated gathering area so she/he can
account for your presence. Then wait for further instructions. Do
not return to the building or classroom until advised by a
university emergency response representative.
If confronted by an act of violence, be prepared to make quick
decisions to protect your safety. Flee the area by running away
from the source of danger if you can safely do so. If this is not
possible, shelter in place by securing classroom or lab doors and
windows, closing blinds, and turning off room lights. Stay low,
away from doors and windows, and as close to the interior hallway
walls as possible. Wait for further instructions.
