Methods of Instruction
Lecture
Lecture, problem solving and the use of mathematical software are the central instructional techniques. Students are expected to work outside of class on reading the text, on assigned exercises, and on computer assignments using mathematical software.
-Find the center of mass of the lamina that lies inside the unit circle and above the line y = - x if its density is |x| + |y|.
1. Appropriate Readings: Students are required to read assigned chapters in texts. 2. Writing Assignments: Students must work assigned mathematical problems requiring the understanding of abstract ideas. 3. Appropriate Outside Assignments: Students will be expected to spend a sufficient amount of time outside of class to practice techniques taught during class time, read assigned materials, and complete frequent homework and computer assignments. 4. Appropriate Assignments that Demonstrate Critical Thinking: Students must demonstrate mathematical skills which involve analyzing information, recognizing concepts in new contexts, and analysis of logical arguments. Students will learn to apply their abstract knowledge to solve problems in the sciences and will learn to use computer software in solving problems from multivariable calculus.
A student's grade will be based on multiple measures of performance in the solving of problems, designing mathematical models, preparations and analysis of graphs, and analysis of logical arguments. Such measures will typically include four hours of exams and a comprehensive final examination requiring demonstrations of problem solving skills. In addition, instructors may make use of quizzes, written homework assignments, computer assignments, or other appropriate means to judge a student's dexterity with arithmetic skills and familiarity with mathematical vocabulary and methods of proof.
