(Students who have passed eitherMath 231 or Math 232 may not schedule Math 230 or Math 230H for credit.)PREREQUISITE: MATH 141 or MATH 141HREQUIRED MATERIALS:• Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 4th Edition by Jon Rogawksi. A hardcover textbook canbe bought at the bookstore, or you can purchase a loose-leaf version on from the Achieve website.• Online: An activated Achieve account.

The sections covered in lectures arelisted at the end of this document.MATH 230 LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion, the student will be familiar withvectors, vector operations, equations of curves and surfaces in space, calculus calculations involving curves,the calculation and applications of differentiation of functions of several variables, the calculation and appli-cations of double and triple integrals, vector fields, the calculation of line and surface integrals, and theoremsregarding vector calculus integrals (fundamental theorem of line integrals, Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem,and divergence theorem). These are covered in Chapters 12-17 of the textbook.CALCULATORS: A graphing calculator is useful as a study and learning tool when used appropriately,but will not be used for exams or quizzes. There will be times when an online calculator or graphing programwill be necessary for homework, but those resources will be made available to you.TUTORS and PENN STATE LEARNING: Free mathematics tutoring is available at Penn StateLearning. You can find information about their online and in-person options at the following site:https://pennstatelearning.psu.edu/tutoring/mathematicsEXAMINATIONS: Three exams will be given outside of class time throughout the semester — two 75-minute exams are given during the semester and a third cumulative 110-minute exam given during finalexam week.Exam 1 February 8Exam 2 March 22Exam 3 TBARooms for examinations will be announced by your instructor at a later date.

Students may elect to take the three or more examina-tions on the same day if they wish or request a conflict final examination. A student must take actionto request a conflict exam through Lionpath between February 14 and March 6. Conflict finalexaminations cannot be scheduled through the Mathematics department. Students who miss orcannot take the final examination due to a valid and documented reason, such as illness, may be allowedto take a makeup final examination at the beginning of the next semester. Personal business, such astravel, employment, weddings, graduations, or attendance at public events such, as concertsand sporting events is not a valid excuse.
