Texts:
The following text is strongly recommended:: McCallum, Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al., Multivariable Calculus, 3rd edition, ISBN 0-471-40952-9.; This is a different text from the one being used in other sections of MTH 254.
Much of the homework will come from this book; a copy will be on reserve in the library.
The following texts are optional:
These are the texts being used in other sections of MTH 254.: James Stewart, Calculus, 4th edition; You may use either the Early Transcendentals volume or the shorter Multivariable volume.; Harold Parks, Calculus Study Guide -- MTH 254

Calculators:
Calculators will not be allowed on the midterms or the final. Their use is permitted on the labs and homework, although all of the problems can be solved without one.

Getting Help:
Help can be obtained from several sources. Recitation is a good time to ask questions of your TA, as is (usually) before and after class. Both your TA and I hold regular office hours; use them. Appointments can also be made at other times, and you can reach us by email. It is important to get help early if you are having difficulty, especially if you're so stuck that you don't feel able to ask intelligent questions.

Mathematics Learning Center:
The Mathematics Learning Center (MLC) provides drop-in help for all lower division mathematics courses, although not everybody there is good at vector calculus. The MLC is located on the ground floor of Kidder Hall (Kidder 108), and is normally open M-F from 9 AM to 4 PM, from the second week of term through Dead Week (Week 10).

Web Study Guide:
Finally, there is also a Web Study Guide for MTH 254 which you may find helpful.: (The Web Study Guide has no official connection to this course, and is included as a service only.)
