Math 314

Calculus for Technology II

---

Course description: Continuation of Math 313 including the concepts of integration, the infinite series, and partial differentiation as applied to technical problems.

May not be substituted for Math 291 or Math 292.

Prerequisites: Math 313, or permission of department head.

Text: Technical Calculus with Analytic Geometry by Kuhfittig, 4th edition, Brooks/Cole.

Calculator: The Casio 9750G Plus will be used for classroom demonstrations. It is recommended that you check with the instructor before using a calculator other than the Casio 9750G Plus for this class. Some testing will be conducted without the use of the calculator.

Objectives

The student will be able to

• demonstrate knowledge of integration techniques including integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, and integration of rational functions;
• use tables and technology (including use of calculators and Maple) to compute integrals;
• analyze curves given parametrically as well as given in polar coordinates (this includes sketching graphs, finding slopes at points on a given curve, finding lengths of curves and converting to rectangular coordinates);
• graph functions of two variables; identify level curves and surfaces;
• find partial derivatives, and use them to find tangent planes and linear approximations;
• compute double integrals via iterated integrals; compute volumes using integrals; use cylindrical coordinates;
• find the value of selected series;
• classify series according to type and determine convergence or divergence using tests;
• demonstrate knowledge of Maclaurin series.

Course material

Course material will include the following topics:

Topic	Chpt.	Approx. time
Integration techniques	Ch. 7	~ 4 weeks
Vectors and parametric equations	Ch. 8	~ 2 weeks
3-dimensional space, partial derivatives,	Ch. 9	~ 2 weeks
multiple integrals
Infinite series	Ch. 10	~ 2 weeks
Topics in numerical methods,		~ 3 weeks
such as (as time permits): trapezoidal rule for integration; Simpson's rule for integration; bisection method for finding roots; Newton's method for finding roots; least-squares method for interpolation; Lagrangian interpolation; Gauss-Jordan method for solving systems; Gauss-Seidel method for solving systems

Assessment

The Semester score for the course will be calculated by using the weights (%) indicated below:

Weight (%)
75%	Semester average	Tests	______ %
		Assignments	______ %
		_________	______ %
25%	Final exam grade

The Semester letter grade in the course will be assigned according to the scale below:

Semester grade	Semester score
90–100	A
80–89	B
70–79	C
60–69	D
0–59	F

Notes:

1. In cases of an excused absence, the instructor reserves the right to reweight the final exam in lieu of a make-up test.
2. In the case where a student's score on his final exam indicates exceptional achievement above and beyond that indicated by the semester average, the instructor reserves the right to reweight the value of the final exam in computing the semester grade.
