STUDENT’S GUIDE FOR MATH 38 (Mathematical Analysis III)

Midyear 2016

Lecturer: Mark Jayson V. Cortez

Assistant Professor 1
MB 204c

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Infinite series, techniques and applications of partial differentiation and
multiple integration

COURSE PREREQUISITE: MATH 37 (Mathematical Analysis II)

COURSE CREDIT: 3 units

COURSE GOALS: Upon completion of the course, the students should be able to understand
the concepts of sequences, series, differentiation and integration of
functions of more than one variable and their applications.

COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course, a student must be able to

 Determine convergence or divergence of infinite series using appropriate tests;
 Find the interval of convergence of a power series;
 Find the power series representation of functions;
 Determine limits and continuity of a function at a point and over a set;
 Find partial derivatives (explicit, implicit, chain rule and higher order);
 Find directional derivatives (if they exist);
 Find equations of tangent plane and normal line to a surface;
 Find extreme values of functions (constrained or unconstrained case); and
 Evaluate multiple integrals using rectangular, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates.

4th Long Examination: July 13
Coverage: Unit IV

Grading System:
Prefinal Standing:
4 Long Exams 60%
Lecture Quizzes/Recitation Exercises 40%

Exemption Policy: If a student gets 75 or above as Pre-final grade, then the student is
exempted from taking the Final Examination. The Pre-final grade shall be the
Final grade. However, if the student takes the final exam, the Final Grade
shall be computed as follows:

Final Grade = 70% Pre-final Grade + 30% Final Exam

The grading scale given above shall be used in giving final grades.

Grading Scale:
Raw Score Equivalent Raw Score Equivalent
96-100 1.0 70-74 2.5
92-95 1.25 65-69 2.75
88-91 1.5 60-64 3.0
84-87 1.75 55-59 4.0
80-83 2 0-54 5.0
75-79 2.25
Class Policies:
1. No sleeping, eating or drinking is allowed inside the lecture hall.
2. You are not allowed to take an exam without your UP ID.
3. If you missed a long examination due to a valid excused absence, you will be given a make-up exam
not later than two (2) meetings after your return to the class.
4. No make up for missed quizzes/exercise will be given. If you missed an exercise due to a valid
excused absence, the maximum score for that quiz/exercise will be deducted from the total score.
Else, you will get a grade of zero.
5. You are required to close your notes during any sit-in exercise.
6. Attendance will be checked. The University policy on attendance will be strictly implemented.
Accumulated absences of 10 hours or more from both the lecture and recitation classes will result to
either a grade of DRP or 5.0.
