Math 2130 Sections 101 & 102 Homepage
News & Announcements
12/08 I just posted final grades on asULearn. Your (curved) final exam grade as well
as your final course average are posted. Your course letter grade is posted as
a comment on the final course average.
If you'd like to see your exam, stop by my office some time. I'll keep them around
for at least a year or two.
Just because this class is over, don't feel like you can't ask me questions.
If you ever have a question mathematical or otherwise, please stop by my office
or send me an email. I'm glad to help if I can! And.....
Have a Merry Christmas!
11/29 A few last minute notes about the math help lab (if you're interested)...
From Lisa (out math lab coordinator)...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Hi, all. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving break. We will be running
math lab tonight, Wed the 30th, Friday the 2nd, and then next week on
Monday-Wednesday, from 5-8 pm in Walker 103A. Please encourage your students
to use this resource. I've had requests from students for these hours and LAP
has allowed us to try math lab during finals this semester; we'll see if the
numbers warrant it in the future.
Thank you, and if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Lisa
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Also, from one of your classmates (who works at the lab and would be an
EXCELLENT study mate)...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I have confirmation that I will be available in the math help lab in room
108 both this Wednesday (the 30th) as well as next Wednesday, the night before
the final from 5pm-8pm. So let students know if they have questions, I am
comfortable assisting with working examples etc. with them.
Thanks!
-W. Dulaney

11/22 Final Exam Reviews/Schedule...
Friday (Dec 2): Office Hours 9am-12pm
Review Session at 3pm in Walker 103A.
Monday (Dec 5): Office Hours 8am-9am & 3pm-5pm
Section 102's Final Exam 9am-11:30am (in WA 304)
Tuesday (Dec 6): Office Hours 8am-9am & 3pm-5pm
[Grad. Linear Final 9-11:30am in WA 304]
Wednesday (Dec 7): Office Hours 9am-12pm
Review Session at 12pm in Walker 108
Thursday (Dec 8): Office Hours 9-12pm
Section 101's Final Exam 3-5:30pm (in WA 304)
I don't plan to do anything structured during the review sessions. I just
plan on being available to work extra examples and answer questions. So
come prepared with problems that are troubling you. I'm not sure how long
the review sessions will go. We'll just do vector calculus until we're
tired out.
Our final exam will cover Chapter 15 (after the section on curl and divergence -
although reviewing the beginning of the chapter isn't a bad idea). Skip problems
that are just line integrals with respect to arc length (like from Test #1) The
exam also covers section 14.5 (surface area) and the Supplemental Line Integral Notes.
The old final exams should provide some helpful review problems. Be warned: Older
exams may include irrelevant review problems. Also, if you look through old final
tests (usually test 3's), you will find a few extra line integral and fundamental
theorem of line integrals problems.
I also highly recommend working through as many problems from the
Supplemental Line Integral Notes as you can.
Dont forget! You may have note cards (as provided in class). I won't be providing
formulas on the final exam itself.
Grades: All quizzes and homeworks (except for Maple homework #4 - due Monday) have
been graded. I will post/repost grades on AsULearn soon. I will drop your lowest
quiz and lowest Maple homework scores. If you are content with your current Maple
scores, you may skip the final homework (I'll drop that zero).
Finally, I will be replacing your lowest test score with the final exam (if it helps).
So the final exam has a big potential to raise your final grade! Study hard!!
11/04 Josh Carr will hold a review session in Walker 308 from 12:30pm until 2pm on Monday.
11/02 Test #3 is Wednesday. It will cover Chapter 14 (except for 14.5 on surface area
which we haven't covered yet). You may want to look over sections 10.4 & 11.7
(introductions to polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates) if you are
having trouble with those coordinate systems.
Test #3 also covers and sections 15.1 & 15.2. As well as, testing whether
vector fields are conservative and constructing potential functions [See the
Supplemental Line Integral Notes problems 8-15.]
Old tests. Here are a list of relevant review problems:
[Many of the more recent tests don't have problems about checking to see if a
vector field is conservative, finding a potential function, computing divergence,
and curl. Look at older tests for these.]

Also, just a reminder that our second Maple assignment is due October 18th.
It covers stuff up through the end of chapter 13, so even though you could start it
now, some of the problems probably won't make sense quite yet.
Maple homework assignments are posted here.
09/26 The tests are graded. The results are quite awful. But you have a chance
to fix that. Please redo the problems that you got wrong. You may work on
notebook/plain paper or you can print off a "fresh" copy of the exam...
Section 101 (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
Section 102 (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
Please place your new work on top of your old test, staple it all
together, and turn it in by Monday (October 3rd). You are welcome
(and encouraged) to work together OR ask me/math lab tutors for help.
I will grade your corrections and give back (at least) half of the improvement.
For example: If Fred made a 60 on the test and turned in 90% correct
corrections, Fred's improvement is 90-60 = 30 points. So his new grade is
(at least) 60 + 30/2 = 75.
For those with high grades...I will make it worth your while. Do the corrections!
09/23 "Seeing" the signs of partial derivatives [Source: (.mw)]
This is several graphs requested by the 10am section.
09/09 Test #1 is Friday.
We discussed line integrals with respect to arc length (and centroids) today.
Here is the relevant line integral homework from Section 15.3...
15.3: 1-7(odd), 17, 23, 25
I will distribute copies of...
Supplemental Line Integral Notes (.pdf) [Source: (.zip)]
...when we get into Chapter 15. But for now, the first page and third page
have some summary information of interest as well as a centroid example.
This handout also has some extra homework of interest: Problems 1-7 on page 10.
Test #1 is Friday. It will cover the parts of sections 10.2-10.3,
11.1-11.5, 12.1-12.5, & 15.3 which we discussed in class.
Old tests can be found here.
Test #1 from many of the past semesters should give you a pretty
good idea of what to expect. Don't forget to study section 15.3
(that stuff is not covered in most of the old Test #1's).
You can get an idea of what I might ask by looking at...
Summer 2016 Test #1: all of it.
Spring 2016 Test #1: all of it.
Summer 2015 Test #1: all of it.

Hello!
University Tutorial Services would like to wish you a happy beginning
of the semester and also inform you of the mathematics and statistics
tutoring services being offered this fall. This information might be
helpful for you to add to your syllabus or webpage.
We have tutors available for weekly appointments with students in the
UTS Tutoring Lab in 208 D.D. Dougherty Hall for the following courses:
MAT 1025, MAT 1035, MAT 1110, MAT 1120, MAT 2130, MAT 2240, and STT 2810.
There are also tutors available to students for math help in the Math
Help Labs in Walker Hall. The General Math Help Lab will be open from
5:00-8:00pm Monday-Thursday in 103A Walker Hall. There is also a help
lab specifically for Math 1030 (Business Calculus) students which will
be open 6:00-8:00pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays in 307B Walker Hall.
If you have colleagues teaching other courses not listed above, and
they would like for tutors to be available for those topics please
let them know that they can contact us to make that request.
For more information, you can visit www.lap.appstate.edu or
contact us with any questions at apputs@appstate.edu.

06/22 Syllabus, Schedule, Suggested Homework, and asULearn updated.
We will be using Maple (a computer algebra system) this semester...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Maple adoption code: AP97261-DB2E9
Maple webstore (choose "student")
With the above discount code you can download Maple for $75 (instead
of $100). Since Maple should be installed on every public
campus computer, you do not necessarily have to purchase Maple for
your home computer but many students find it helpful to have a home
copy.

Lisa Maggiore (lm72407@appstate.edu) is our Math Lab coordinator...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Hi!
The general math help lab will be in Walker 103A this fall, Mondays
through Thursdays from 5-8 pm. On evenings of PTMA meetings the lab
will move to 309. but there will be more than adequate signage.
Thanks,
Lisa
