11/27 Homework #4 (.mw) is due Wednesday, December 5th by 4:30pm.

      [The following problem was to be problem #4 on the Maple homework 
       before I decided it that would make the 4th assignment too long. 
       On the other hand, it was too interesting to throw it away. So 
       here it is...]     Surface Centroid (.mw) example. 

11/26 I just uploaded all of the grades (on asULearn) that I have so far. 
      Please make sure everything looks right. 

      We have had 6 quizzes. I plan to give 2 more quizzes (one tomorrow 
      and one next Tuesday). I will then drop your 2 lowest quiz scores. 
      So if you like your scores so far, the pressure is off. If however, 
      you have a score or 2 that you'd like to see disappear, now is your 
      chance.

      The quiz tomorrow will cover line integrals and the fundamental 
      theorem of line integrals: 
      Sections 15.3, 15.4 and the supplemental notes.

      Also, we have had 3 Maple assignments. I plan to assign one final 
      Maple homework tomorrow. It will be due Wednesday, Dec. 5 (a week 
      from Wednesday). I will be dropping the lowest of your 4 Maple homework 
      grades. So if you have "good" scores on the first 3, you do not have 
      to turn in the last assignment (the "0" will just be dropped). 

      Looking forward to the final exam:
      I will let everyone have a note card for formulas on the exam. I'll 
      pass them out soon. And I would like to schedule a review/QA session 
      before the exam. Please look at your final exam schedules and know what 
      times you'll be available, so we can pick a time that works for as many 
      people as possible.

      From Nate Weigl (the Faculty member in charge of the Math lab)...
      -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
      Please note in you syllabi that the General Math Lab Hours this fall are:
 
      Mon. & Wed. 2 - 5pm
      Tues. & Thurs. 3:30 - 6:30pm
 
      Walker 303A.
 
      ***This is a change from last semester, when we experimented with 2-5pm, M-Th.  
         After talking to a handful of students it seems that the staggered times 
         generally work better for those who attend most often.
 
     Thanks.
     Nathan Weigl
