MATH 251-500 INFORMATION SHEET1 CourseTexas A&M University at Qatar Science Program / Mathematics Department Math 251-500, Spring 2011Engineering Mathematics III (3-0), Credit 3. The first part of this course covers three-dimensional analytic geometry and vectors.The second part deals with differential calculus of functions of several variables: partial and directional derivatives, gradient, andmultivariable optimization (max/min). The third part covers principles and applications of multiple integration—double and tripleintegrals in rectangular, polar, cylindrical, spherical, and generalized coordinates. The fourth part deals with vector calculus—line andsurface integrals and the principal theorems associated with them. The class meets three times a week in lecture. (There is no recitationor computer laboratory.)

This is a third engineering math course. It follows single variable differential and integral calculus.2. In addition to hand (paper-and-pencil) techniques, you may use a TI-Nspire CAS Handheld calculator, provided to you byTAMUQ ITS. In this regard, stop by my QENG 171 office as soon as possible to obtain the latest versions of the TNS-CASoperating system (2.1) and my TAMUCALC package (6.4). A full set of streaming videos illustrating use of the calculator inCalculus 3 is available on our class web page.3. Please be on time to class. Make sure that you have read the relevant sections in the textbook beforehand.4. Make-ups for exams will be given only in the case of absenses authorized under University Regulations.5. There are NO makeups for quizzes. However, the lowest two quiz scores will be dropped.6. Here is information regarding in-class exams and the final exam.• Exam 1: Saturday, 19/Feb/2011; 9 am – 12 noon; QENG 238; covers chapters 11–12; worth 25% of your grade.• Exam 2: Saturday, 23/Apr/2011; 9 am – 12 noon; QENG 143; covers chapters 13–14; worth 30% of your grade.• Final Exam: Thursday, 28/Apr/2011, 8:00–10:00 am; QENG 143; comprehensive; worth 30% of your grade.7. Selected problems from your textbook will be assigned but not graded. See the web for details. It is imperative that you spendtime working these problems. When you have questions, please ask for help.8. Lectures for each section covered in the textbook are provided via the web. This material is copyrighted. I grant you permissionto make ONE copy of each document for your personal use.9. At all times, I expect you to be prepared and to work hard; you can expect the same from me. Each student will be judged on theindividual merit of his or her own work.10. Read the Hot Topics of the day on our class web page.

Focus areas within this definition arewriting, math, and science. Ancillary skills, such as applied technology, college success strategies, multi-media applications,business and personal communication, computer-assisted language learning, career-building activities, and peer interaction arealso part of the mission of the center as they are appropriate to the total professional development of engineering graduates. Thedepartment’s tutors work with students both on-site and online (writing only) and the offices are located in suite 310, near thelibrary. Tutoring hours of operation are: weekdays 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on-site, and 8:00 PM until 12 AM online, and Saturdays3:00 to 6:00 PM. Please make appointments from the homepage:
