Textbook

Vector Calculus by Marsden and Tromba, Ed., W. H. Freeman, 6th edition.
The chapters 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 form the core of the course. The chapters 1,2,4 will be only briefly discussed since the material of these chapters is covered in Math233 (a prerequisite for this class). The book is also used for assigning the homework.

Practice for Midterm 1

Practice for Midterm 2

Midterm 2 (for correction)
You can do midterm2 correction to receive back 50% of points you lost.
You need to do all problems carefully and correctly to get 50% back. If correction is incorrect or messy, no credit will be given. No partial credit on correction and it due on April 16.
Please print out the midterm2 pages and use this pages for test corrections. I will not accept corrections on random papers. You need to do all of problem, even the ones you have done correctly, to receive points back.
Midterm 2: answers.

Practice problems for final exam

Important notes

Disability Services is in need of a note taker for this class. If you are interested, please email notes@admin.umass.edu with your name, student ID and the course info Math 425.1 Professor Oblomkov. Disability Services staff will contact you to confirm and provide you instructions. You may earn 1 undergraduate academic credit (practicum EDUC 398NT) or 45 hours of community service for your efforts.

Make-up exams will not be given to accomodate travel plans.

No calculators are allowed during exams. You may use calculators to check your homework solutions, but credit will be given only for answers showing all your steps (unless mentioned otherwise in the assignment).

If you have a documented disability that requires an accommodation, please notify me within the first two weeks of the semester so that we may make appropriate arrangements.
