SUMO
- SUMO is the Stanford
Undergraduate Mathematics Organization, a student group of
mostly math majors. You may want to check them out if you are
thinking of majoring in Math.
- They will be tutoring for Math 50 series Monday and Wednesday
6-10 PM in room 381T. That's good for you because your homework is
due on Tuesdays.
This course
Math 52 will cover Chapters 14 and 15 in Edwards and Penny,
Multivariable Calculus 6e with matrices. Some prior
material that you need to be confident with is the
chain rule for partial derivatives, which is in Chapter 13
of the book. This will probably get reviewed at some point.
The focus
of the course will be on the vector calculus, which is
very interesting material. At the end of the course we
will discuss Maxwell's equations, which illustrate the
beautiful material from the vector calculus in a spectacular
way.
Announcements
- Last office hours: Friday Dec 6 1-2 and Monday December 9, 11:30-1:30
- Stanford's final exam schedule may be found
here. The Math 52 is in the evening of Monday December 9 at 7 PM. We have
two classrooms, 380Y (our usual) and 380C (across the hall).
- Second midterm: Wednesday, November 20 in room 420-040.
This larger room is a 30 second walk from 380X in the
adjacent building. The sections most relevant for the
second midterm are 14.9 and 15.1-15.6. I won't ask
questions about Stoke's theorem until the final.
- Late homework will not be accepted after
the homeworks have been given to the grader. Homeworks
are due on Tuesdays before 4:45 PM.
- If you have the text from last year you will have a
different edition but it is close enough to the new
edition that you will have no trouble. The section
numbers and problem numbers will be the same though
the page numbers will be different.
- There will be two in-class midterms. Midterms will be
assigned both a numerical score and a letter grade.
- First midterm date: October 16.
Grading
Grades will be based on four data: the two midterms,
the homework scores and the final. These will be
averaged with several different weights, for example:
- Midterms 25%, homework 10% final 40%
- Midterms 30%, homework 5% final 35%
From these averages, the maximum score will be selected. This is
your course score. This number will then be curved to a letter
grade as consistently as possible with the letter grades assigned
in the two midterms.
