A. COURSE INFORMATION
B. COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course covers vectors in the plane and in space, vector-valued functions, and the calculus of vector
fields. Applications to the geometry of space and some basic results in elementary physics are also
discussed.

By the end of this course, students should be able to:
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
CLO2: Demonstrate facility with the computational aspects of calculus as applied to functions
of several variables and vector-valued functions.
CLO3: Use vectors in ℝ𝑛 , vector functions and the methods of calculus in the study of geometry
of space.
CLO4: Compute the formulas and equations of various geometric objects using derivatives and
integrals of functions of several variables.
CLO5: Apply the objects involved in Green’s Theorem, Gauss’ Divergence Theorem, and
Stokes’ Theorem and other similar theorems in solving problems.
CLO6: Use the language of vectors and vector functions in the statement of Newton’s,
Maxwell’s, Kepler’s Laws and other physical laws.
CLO7: Recognize that mathematics as applied to other fields mainly uses functions of several
variables.
Additional topics (from other sections in the book) may be discussed as needed if the required
background material was not covered in prerequisite courses due to the pandemic. You will not be
assessed specifically over these additional topics.

I. GRADING SYSTEM
A student’s final numerical grade is computed using the weight distribution of the different assessments
in Section E (Assessments and Rubrics). An example is presented. The highest possible scores (hps)
here are merely examples, and may differ from the actual hps in class. The weights however will be
implemented as shown below.
Score Percentage Score Weight Grade
Exam 1 55 out of 60 91.66667 18% 16.500
Exam 2 37 out of 50 74.00000 18% 13.320
Exam 3 51 out of 65 78.46154 18% 14.123
Exam 4 40 out of 55 72.72727 18% 13.091
Problem Set A 52 out of 60 86.66667 14% 12.133
Problem Set B 45 out of 50 90.00000 14% 12.600
FINAL GRADE 100% 81.767
The numerical grade is then converted to a letter grade based on the following table:
92 – 100 86 – 91 77 – 85 69 – 76 60 – 68 50 – 59 Below 50

J. CLASS POLICIES
1. The class will be delivered online, using the LMS Canvas. Here is a tutorial on Canvas Basics
specifically for LS: https://sites.google.com/ateneo.edu/canvasbasicsbydiscs. You may also visit the
LS-One website https://sites.google.com/ateneo.edu/ls-one for information on anything that concerns
student life at Ateneo --- "from academics to wellness and many things in between”.
2. Check that you have the correct information in your account settings in Canvas, particularly on the
following: Profile Picture, Full Name, Display Name, Sortable Name, Time Zone, and your obf Email
Address. Choose the appropriate notification settings for announcements, grading of assessments,
and others. Note that some images in Canvas may disappear if you are using Safari on MacBook or
iPad. To avoid the problem, use Chrome or follow the instruction in https://support.apple.com/en-
ph/guide/safari/sfri40732/mac; or if using Safari on iPad, view webpages privately.
3. Check Canvas regularly for announcements.
4. The material posted in Canvas are meant for our course only. Do not share them in other websites or
in social media.
ON ONLINE SESSIONS
1. Lecture sessions will be held online on all designated class days. Refer to Schedule of Classes in
Module 0 in Canvas. Attendance will not be checked. However, students are strongly encouraged to
attend, especially those who have difficulty reading the text and studying on their own. The basics of
the course content will be discussed during these lecture sessions, to the extent that is possible.
2. All sessions will be done via Zoom. These will be recorded for the benefit of all students, and the
videos can be accessed on Canvas.
3. Materials posted on our course site on Canvas must not be shared in any other website and social
media and with other students not enrolled in the course.
ON ASSESSMENTS
OTHERS
1. A student with unstable or no internet connection may avail of the portable learning packet (PLP) that
can be requested through LS One (www.atene.edu/lsone).
2. Students are expected to exercise the highest level of academic integrity. Students are expected to
treat their classmates and instructor with respect at all times even in an online environment. Cheating,
plagiarism, discourtesy or misbehavior will not be tolerated and will be dealt in accordance with the
Student Handbook.
3. The class adheres to the LS Gender Policy: http://www.ateneo.edu/ls/ls-gender-policy. The class also
adheres to the Code of Decorum and Administrative Rules on Sexual Harassment, Other Forms of
Sexual Misconduct, and Inappropriate Behavior: https://www.ateneo.edu/ugdo/policies/20200829-
code-decorum-investigation-sexual-harassment.
