Announcements
(8/19)
Welcome to Calculus 16B! This fantastic course is a continuation of 16A, which introduced the basic concepts of Calculus:
differentiation and integration. This course applies these techniques to a number of important applications, from
optimization of functions of several variables to probability theory. As we shall discover, all these new techniques have
significant applications in economics, architecture, business, the social sciences and beyond.

Everything related to the course will be on this website. We will not be using bCourses.
There will be weekly homework (posted below) and a quiz in discussion section
every two weeks. I have office hours everyday of the week so there should always be an opportunity to
get my help if you need it. If you can't make any office hours, e-mail me and we'll find another time to meet.
In addition to this I will be posting my own lecture notes on this website at the end of each week. You'll be able to link to them directly
from the detailed syllabus below. There will also be video recordings of the lectures posted at the end of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Again you'll be able to link to them directly from the syllabus below.
(8/19)
Discussion sections will begin on Thursday the 19th of January.

Make sure to read the course policy and the
detailed syllabus below.
Textbook
The textbook for this course is:
Goldstein, Lay, Schneider, Asmar, Calculus and it's Applications, 2nd custom edition for math 16B at UC Berkeley.
This is just chapters 7,8,9,10,11 and 12 from the 13th edition of the non-custom version.
As such, the 13th edition of the non-custom version is acceptable.
It is important though, to have the correct version of these textbooks because homework will be taken from them.
Different version may have different numbering.
Resources
The Student Learning
Center provides support for this class, including an adjunct course,
review sessions for exams, and drop-in tutoring. This is a fantastic resource, I definitely recommend you take advantage of it.
Grading and course policy
| Homework | 10% |
| Quizzes | 10% |
| First Midterm | 20% |
| Second Midterm | 20% |
| Final Exam | 40% |
If the lowest (curved)
midterm score is less than the (curved) final score, then it will be replaced by your final score.
This grading policy allows you to miss one midterm without serious consequences. For example,
if you scored 100% on everything except the second midterm, which you missed, then you would still
get an overal score of 100%. You must, however, sit the final exam.
It is your responsibility to make sure you have no schedule conflicts in exam week.
Unless there are truly exceptional circumstances, there will be no make-up exams.
For more detailed information make sure to read the course
policy.
Homework
Homework assignments are due each week in section. They will be
posted here along with solutions. Your two lowest homework scores will be dropped.

Quizzes
Quizzes will take place roughly every two weeks in discussion section. They will last about 15 minutes, be of a
