News & Announcements
05/09 I just posted final grades on AsULearn. Your letter grade is posted as a comment
on the final course average.
If you have any questions or would like to look over your final or meet with me
for some other reason, let me know. I'll be around most of the summer and I'll
keep your finals in my office for at least a year.
If you ever have any questions, mathematical or otherwise, please don't hesitate
to ask. I'm happy to help if I can.
I hope you all have a great summer!!!
05/02 Your homework average (factoring in a drop) is posted on AsULearn. Your final
quiz and homework average has been posted as well (this makes up 30% of your
final course average). If there is a problem with any of the posted grades,
please let me know immediately!!
Maple Homeworks & Answer Keys
05/01 The final exam will cover Chapter 15 and the supplemental line integral notes.
The old final exams, have some good example problems, but make sure you ignore
the "review" problems (from before chapter 15).
We will have a review session on Tuesday, May 7th at 3pm in Walker 309.
I'll try to answer any questions you might have and go over some extra examples.
I imagine the review will last at least an hour but probably not more than
2 hours. Feel free to come when you can and leave when you need to go.
I have posted all quiz grades and a final quiz average (lowest quiz dropped).
Test #3 correction grades as well as your new Test #3 grades have been posted.
Don't forget homework #4 is due today. If you don't turn it in before 5pm, I
will assume you are not turning it in.
04/19 Homework #3 Answer Key (.mw)
04/18 Homework #4 (.mw) is due Wednesday, May 1st
I will drop the lowest Maple homework score, so if you are happy with your scores on the first
3 homeworks feel free to skip this one.
04/17 Don't forget to work on test corrections. They are due next Wednesday (April 24th).
Please correct any problem that you lost points on as well as rework problem #6
in light of the typo: "z = 4-x^2+y^2" should be "z = 4-x^2-y^2".
I will give up to 1/2 of your missed points back. So if you made a 60% on Test #3
but then turn in 100% corrections, your new Test #3 score will be 80. On the
other hand, if you turn in 80% correct corrections, your new score would be
60 + (80-60)/2 = 70.
Please write up your corrections neatly. You can use blank paper, notebook
paper, or a clean copy of the exam (clean copy: Test #3 (.pdf)).
Please turn in BOTH your corrections and your original test. Please staple
your corrections to your original test (put the corrections on top).
04/10 Supplemental Line Integral Notes (.pdf)
04/05 Homework #3 (.mw) is due Wednesday, April 17th

due date until Thursday. We can take some time to go over last minute
questions in class tomorrow.
As for the quiz, no quiz -- you may thank the nasty weather. I wasn't
planning on giving a quiz next Tuesday. Now I might. If so, I'll let
you know on Monday.
02/25 Dr. Vicky Klima kindly pointed out these nice applets demonstrating
drawing gradient vectors for surfaces: Gradient Examples

Have you been wondering why it's taken me so long to get your first Maple
assignment to you? No? That's what I figured.
Anyway, I have been busy updating 8 years worth of Maple examples and have
the first batch of stuff posted. The links below explore concepts we've
covered in class so far. There are a ton a nice plots to look at. Please
take some time to look through them...
Parametric Playground [parametric_curves (.mw)]
Vectors, Lines, & Planes [vectors.mw]
Arc Length, Curvature, & TNB-Frames [curvature.mw]
An exploration of how bad computing curvature can get: The Scribble Curve [scribble_curve.mw]
Osculating Circles [osculating_circles.mw]
TNB-Frame: A curve wrapped around a torus with its TNB frame and
osculating circles. This is the worksheet (.mw) (.html)
used to create the picture on my main homepage.
