Announcements: 

HW #4 (due Thurs, Oct 16) is now posted in the Calendar.

Class meets Thursday evenings from 7:35pm to 9:35pm in Harvard Hall 202 (next to Johnson Gate).

I've scheduled Sever Hall 106 during the hour before class each week (starting at 6:36pm or soon thereafter) as a time to take any last-minute questions you may have on the weekly homework before heading over to Harvard Hall 202. This is purely optional, but students have found this helpful in the past.

Course Assistant Umang Shukla has a Problem Session scheduled for Sunday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:00pm in Science Center 103b.

There are 105 students registered in the course as of October 10.

Please be advised of the following important dates:
Oct 5: Last day for withdrawal with half tuition refund 
Dec 7: Last day for withdrawal with no tuition refund 
The full calendar is at http://www.extension.harvard.edu/2008-09/register/guidelines/calendar/.

I want to emphasize that it is not necessary to have a current edition of the text for this course and, in truth, almost any multivariable calculus text will suffice. Though almost all of the assigned homework problems will be taken from Stewart's Multivariable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 3rd Edition, all assignments will be posted as PDF's on the course website.

If you need to contact our course assistants, they are Lauren Luther and Umang Shukla. They may be contacting you soon about possible section meeting times.

Note: The Math Placement Exam is NOT required for registration in this course. It is still a good idea to take it in order to better assess which mathematics course is most appropriate for you.
