Late homework will not be accepted. Homework is listed in http://www.math.utexas.edu/~ewang/F04/M408Dhw.html .

Resources: UT Learning Center in Jester A332A has a wide variety of material (drills, video-taped lectures, computer programs, counseling, math anxiety workshops, algebra and trig review, calculus review) as well as tutoring options, all designed to help students through calculus. They can be reached at 471-3614.
Prerequisite and degree relevance: A grade of C or better in M408C or the equivalent. (Note: The pace of M408D is brisk. For this reason, transfer students are requested to consult with the Undergraduate Adviser for Mathematics to determine whether M408D or an alternative, M408L, is the appropriate Calc II course.) M408D may not be counted by students with credit for Mathematics 408L, 308M.
Course description: The emphasis in this course is on problem solving, not on theoretical considerations. M408D contains a treatment of infinite series, and an introduction to vectors and vector calculus in 2-space and 3-space, including parametric equations, partial derivatives, gradients and multiple integrals. We will usually cover one section in each class and follow the syllabus at http://www.ma.utexas.edu/text/syllabi/syllabi23.html .
Disabilities: The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 471-6259, 471-4641 TTY.
Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty: Students who violate university rules on scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failing in the course and/or dismissal from the University. Since such dishonesty harms the individual, all students, and the integrity of the University, policies on scholastic dishonesty will be strictly enforced.
