Course Description: Math 2057 is a three-hour multi-dimensional calculus course designed primarily for engineering majors and certain other technical majors. As mentioned above, the text is Calculus by Stewart. The student is assumed to be capable and versed in the standard Calculus I and II topics: taking limits, continuity, taking derivatives of complicated functions, using derivatives, calculating the definite integral, integration techniques and applications of integration. In this course, we will cover most of Chapters 14-16 of Stewart’s text. A more detailed syllabus can be found at www.math.lsu.edu/courses/syllabi/2057.html.
Homework/Quizzes: Homework will be assigned regularly. THIS COURSE IS CUMULATIVE, SO IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO COMPLETE HOMEWORK DAILY IN ORDER NOT TO FALL BEHIND. Most homework assignments are to be completed and submitted through WebWork. Click on the button below to access WebWork. Your login is your PawsID, and your password should be initially set to be your SSN (no hyphens, no spaces). You will have the option to change your password (and should do so) as soon as you log in!
In addition to WebWork problems, I will list additional suggested problems from
your textbook. These will not be collected, but will give you extra practice.

Quizzes based on the homework may also be given in class. These quizzes will be
announced in class at least one day in advance.
Exams: There will be three in-class midterm exams and one comprehensive final exam. No calculators, books, notes, etc., may be used for any of the exams or quizzes, unless you are explicitly notified otherwise in advance. No make-up exams will be given, except in extreme cases.
