MATHS 2101 - Multivariable & Complex Calculus II

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2020

The mathematics required to describe most "real life" systems involves functions of more than one variable, so the differential and integral calculus developed in a first course in Calculus must be extended to functions of more variables. In this course, the key results of one-variable calculus are extended to higher dimensions: differentiation, integration, and the link between them provided by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus are all generalised. The machinery developed can be applied to another generalisation of one-variable Calculus, namely to complex calculus, and the course also provides an introduction to this subject. The material covered in this course forms the basis for mathematical analysis and application across an extremely broad range of areas, essential for anyone studying the hard sciences, engineering, or mathematical economics/finance. Topics covered are: introduction to multivariable calculus; differentiation of scalar- and vector-valued functions; higher-order derivatives, extrema, Lagrange multipliers and the implicit function theorem; integration over regions, volumes, paths and surfaces; Green's, Stokes' and Gauss's theorems; differential forms; curvilinear coordinates; an introduction to complex numbers and functions; complex differentiation; complex integration and Cauchy's theorems; and conformal mappings.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes

This course relies on lectures as the primary delivery mechanism for the material. Lecture attendance is expected of all students. Lecture material will expand on the material provided in concise form in the printed course notes, providing different examples and more detailed explanations. Students are expected to take notes during the lectures, and use these in conjunction with the printed course notes in their study of the material.

Students should note that while video recordings of the lectures will be made available, this is to be considered a secondary resource. Lectures will be focused towards students within the classroom at that instance in time, rather than to optimise a good video recording.

Tutorials supplement the lectures by providing exercises and example problems to enhance the understanding obtained through lectures. A sequence of written assignments provides assessment opportunities for students to gauge their progress and understanding.

Learning Activities Summary
Course Outline

Course material is arranged into five sections with the approximate lecture times for each section indicated below. The first four sections comprise "Multivariable Calculus," extending single-variable calculus ideas from first-year courses. The final section deals with the calculus of functions defined on the complex numbers.
1. Functions of many variables: preliminaries (4 lectures)
2. Differentiation of multivariable functions (7 lectures)
3. Integration of multivariable functions (8 lectures)
4. Fundamental theorems of multivariable calculus (7 lectures)
5. Complex calculus (9 lectures)
Tutorials

Tutorials in weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 will be based on the material covered since the previous tutorial. Tutorial exercises will be distributed in the week before each tutorial. Detailed solutions will be made available on MyUni the week after the Tutorial.
Small Group Discovery Experience

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

Assessment task	Task type	Due	Weighting	Learning outcomes
Examination	Summative	Examination period	70%	All
Test	Summative and formative	Week 7	15%	All
Assignments	Summative and formative	Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12	2.5% each	All

Due to the current COVID-19 situation modified arrangements have been made to assessments to facilitate remote learning and teaching. Assessment details provided here reflect recent updates.

Piazza participation:
Students can earn up to 6% of their grade through Piazza participation. The formula used for assessing this is 1 mark for each posting (either an initial posting or a response), up to a maximum of 6 marks.

Assignments:
There will be 6 assignments, due by 3.00pm on Friday (Weeks 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12) and Thursday (Week
6 – this is because Friday is a public holiday that week). These are to be submitted electronically
via MyUni, having scanned the solutions. Late assignments will receive a 50% penalty if submitted
between 3.01pm and 5.00pm on the submission day; any submitted thereafter will receive an automatic
zero.

Mid-semester test:
There will be a mid-semester test, which will be conducted remotely via MyUni on Thursday, 30
April, from 10.10am onwards. Please ensure that you do not have other activities for the time
10.00am-12.00noon on this day (the test is planned for no more than 1 hour, but time will need to be allocated
for other aspects such as scanning – more information will be given later). According to a University directive
related to tests/examinations in the current emergency climate, the test will not be invigilated. A
sample test will be released to students one week before the test, to demonstrate what style of questions
to expect. Additionally, a detailed information sheet on the test will be released.

Final examination:
The final examination will be held during the scheduled examination period, but will be administered
remotely via MyUni. More details on this will be made available closer to the time.

General information for test/exam:
All the material (unless explicitly labelled ‘optional’) done in the course this semester is fair game for
the mid-semester test and final examination. This includes (i) the textbook, (ii) the lecture recordings,
(iii) tutorials and their solutions, (iv) assignments and their solutions, and (v) other material made
available throughout the course (e.g., information sheets on test/exam and practice exercises).
Grade computation: Please note that the grade computation has been modified from the original
version, based on the structural changes that have occurred within the course. The new weightings
are given in the table below. (The funny assignment weighting is to ensure that students can, if they wish, retain
the benefit of previously published weightings for the already submitted Assignment 1.)

Assignments (6) in Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12	The better of: A1,2,3,4,5,6 @ 4% or 24% A1 @ 2.5% and A2,3,4,5,6 @ 4.3%	24%
Piazza participation	(Week 7) Thursday	6%
Mid-semester test		20%
Final examination During examination period		50%

Assessment Related Requirements

An aggregate score of 50% is required to pass the course.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
