05/04 Final Grades are in!
I just posted final grades on asULearn. Your 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 great summer!
04/30 Our Final Exam is Friday, 8am-10:30am in our regular classroom (WA 309).
I will hold a review session on Thursday at 8am (until whenever). Unless there
is unexpected activity in Walker Hall (Thursday is reading day so the building
should be more-or-less empty), we will hold the review session in WA 309.
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.
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!!
04/25 Math Lab Finals Schedule:
-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-
Good afternoon!
We are closing the math tutor lab on Reading Day,
but will be open Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of Finals. Hours are the same, 5-8 pm, in Walker 103A.
Please let me know of concerns or questions,
Lisa M.

04/20 (Raw) Test #3 grades are posted on AsULearn. The results are in and they are not
great. I could tell on Monday that the test was a bit too long, but after grading
the tests there are some deeper problems. This material needs to be nailed down
before the final exam, so I am going to offer test corrections.
Test corrections are due on Friday (4/27) at 5pm. Please write up corrections for
any problem you missed points on. Staple your corrections to the top of your
original test.
I will give back a portion of your missed points. But more importantly, fixing
your mistakes on Test #3 will directly impact your performance on the final exam.
Fixing problems now will help you on the final exam a lot.
You may work together, ask for help in the math lab, and/or come see me. A blank
copy of the test is posted below...
Test #3 [Source: (.tex)]
We are now moving back into material touched on in this old handout...
Supplemental Line Integral Notes (.pdf) [Source: (.zip)]
...Don't worry about the line integrals with respect to arc length stuff
(specifically problems 1-7). That was covered on Test #1.
04/17 Homework #4 is due Tuesday, May 1st.
I will be dropped your lowest Maple homework score and lowest quiz score. If you are
happy with your scores on the first 3 homeworks, you can just skip this last one.
I will also be replacing your lowest test score with your final exam score (if it
helps). Hopefully, I'll get Homework #3 and Test #3 scores up later this week.
04/11 Test #3 is Monday. 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.]

03/12 Snow Day!
Because we didn't meet in person today, I'm moving Quiz #4 to Wednesday. I recorded lectures on Tan 13.6-13.8.
We did a large part of 13.6/13.7 on Friday before break, but many people missed class (ahem ahem - clears throat)
so I recorded the lecture starting back at the beginning of 13.6. I also recorded today's topic (13.8) which
introduces critical points and extrema and covers the second derivative test. This is mostly vocabulary and a
motivation of how the test works. We'll do concrete examples tomorrow.

02/21 I returned tests today. The results were not great. I've decided to offer test corrections.
Please rework anything you got wrong (you may work together or ask for help). Write up solutions
on a clean copy of the exam. Turn in your corrections along with your original test (staple the
corrections to the top of your original exam). These are due Monday.
Fresh copy of the exam: Test #1 [Source: (.tex)]
I will give back some points (for corrected problems). For those with high scores, I'll make it
worth your time to fix your exams as well.

02/12 From today: Visualizing Line Integrals (fixed).
02/09 Test #1 is Wednesday.
We will discuss line integrals with respect to arc length (and centroids) today and Monday.
Here is the relevant line integral homework from Section 15.3...
15.3: 1-7(odd), 17, 23, 25
The handout Supplemental Line Integral Notes (.pdf) [Source: (.zip)]
has some useful information on the first page and third pages (some summary
information as well as a centroid example).
This handout also has some extra homework of interest: Problems 1-7 on page 10.
Test #1 (on Wednesday) will cover the parts of sections 10.2-10.3,
11.1-11.5, 12.1-12.5, & 15.3 which we (will have) 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 older Test #1's).
Also, keep in mind that summer school tests are too long for us.
You can get an idea of what I might ask by looking at...
Fall 2016 Test #1: all of it.
Summer 2016 Test #1: all of it.
Spring 2016 Test #1: all of it.
Summer 2015 Test #1: all of it.

This handout should be more interesting when we get into Chapter 15 much later in
this course. But for now, the first page and third page have some helpful summary
information as well as a centroid example. This handout also has some extra homework
of interest: Problems 1-7 on page 10.
We will probably start discussing line integrals on Friday.
Here is the relevant line integral homework from Section 15.3...
15.3: 1-7(odd), 17, 23, 25
01/30 SNOW DAY!
We started Section 11.5 yesterday, but I backed up and restarted the discussion in the video below.
It's about 75 mins, but you can probably skip through part(s) of it.
Streaming Video of Tan's Calculus Section 11.5
We will not have our quiz tomorrow. We'll tentatively reschedule for Friday.
01/26 Math Lab update: Lab still runs Monday-Thursday, 5pm-8pm in WA 103A.
I got a list of our current tutors. It looks like you should be able
to find good Calculus 3 help any time the lab is open. I see many
former students of my own on the list of tutors. :)
01/17 Where was everyone? SNOW DAY!
Since classes were canceled today, I went ahead and recorded lectures from
sections 11.1 and 11.2. Please watch this and work on homework from 11.1 and 11.2.
We'll start Friday's class with questions.
Streaming Video of Tan's Calculus Sections 11.1 and 11.2
This still puts us a little behind schedule, but that's fine. We'll catch up
on Friday. Also, please note that I backed up a little so you might want to
jump forward past what we already discussed yesterday.
Stay warm! See you Friday!
01/15 Math Lab Information:
From faculty coordinator Lisa Maggiore (lm72407@appstate.edu)...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Hello, all:
We'll have two math tutor labs this semester:
Business Math (MAT 1035) in Walker 105
All other Math and Stats in Walker 103A
Both labs will run Mondays through Thursdays from 5-8 pm, beginning
Monday, January 22nd.
Genie Griffin is supervising the Business Math lab; I'm supervising
the other lab with grad student Sam Powell coordinating for me.
Thanks,
Lisa

01/09 Have you ever considered mathematics as a career? Or seriously considering
graduate study in math or a math related field? You may want to consider
applying for a Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (Summer REU).
REUs are usually 5 weeks. Typically room and board is provided and you'll
get paid around $4,000 (much better than a boring part time summer job).
Jeff Hirst has put together the following information page: summer REU opportunities
01/08 Syllabus, Schedule, Suggested Homework, and asULearn updated.
We will be using Maple (a computer algebra system) this semester...

Maple adoption code: AP97261-40478
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.
