What this paper is about
The first two-thirds of MATHS201 teaches multi-variable calculus and vector calculus, extending the one-variable calculus from MATHS101. The first two-thirds of this paper is co-taught with ENGEN201.
The last third teaches a selection of topics in advanced calculus.
The first two-third is taught by Woei Chet Lim, the last third by Yuri Litvinenko.
The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

Assessments
How you will be assessed
The assessment mark will consist of :
TWO Tests each worth 15% for a total of 30%
- Test dates: Test 1 on Monday 1 May. Test 2 on Monday 15 May. Time: 6:30-7:30pm. Room to be announced.
- If a test is missed due to illness or other good reason, the lecturer must be notified as soon as practicable. Appropriate documentation (for example a medical certificate issued by a doctor) must be supplied.
A assignment component of 20%
- There will be 11 tutorial based assignments of which only the best 9 marks will be counted. Assignments should be your own work and copying may lead to referral to the university disciplinary committee.
- The best (n-2) policy is intended to allow students to miss one or two assignments due to illness or other good reason without requiring us to process medical certificates. Where serious illness may cause a more prolonged absence, please consult the lecturer.
The external exam worth 50%
- The "D" rule: The requirements for an unrestricted pass (C- or better) are a minimum overall mark of 50% for the whole paper and a minimum mark of 40% for the exam.
- Exam will be held during one of the two exam weeks (12-23 June), to be scheduled centrally by the university.
If you are enrolled on a BE(Hons), samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.
