05/03 Final grades have been sent out and the Final (as well as its Answer Key) have been posted!
If you ever have any questions about this class, other math classes, or whatever, my door
is open. Stop by anytime - even just to say "Hi"!
I hope you all have a great summer!
04/19 Supplemental Problems: Vector Calculus [Source: (.tex)]
A final handout (for tomorrow or Wednesday)...
The Big Theorems [Source: (.tex)]
Verify Stokes' Example
Reminder:
Homework #4 is due Tuesday, April 27th
I will drop the lowest quiz and lowest homework, so if your homework scores on
Homeworks 1, 2, and 3 are good, you could skip the final homework set.
Also, I will allow everyone to bring one page of notes (one side of a standard size
piece of paper) to the final exam.
Final Exam is Monday, May 3rd from 8am until 10:30am
in our regular classroom.
04/09 Divergence, Curl, and Forms [Source: (.tex)]
Test #3 is Wednesday (April 14th). It covers Chapter 15 & Section 16.2 as well as the handouts on
Double Riemann sums and vector fields.
Relevant handouts:
Double Riemann Sums Supplemental Homework (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
Vector Fields [Source: (.tex)]
Examples:
Spherical Cap Example (.pdf) [Maple: (.mw)]
Examples of centroids handout [Source: (.zip)]
Triple Integral Example (.pdf) [Maple: (.mw)]
Triple Integral Example (.pdf) [Maple: (.mw)]
I will provide the change of coordinate formulas for rectangular to spherical coordinates:
$x=\rho\cos(\theta)\sin(\varphi), y=\rho\sin(\theta)\sin(\varphi), z= \rho\cos(\varphi)$.
as well as the spherical coordinates Jacobian:
$J = \rho^2\sin(\varphi)$.
If I give a center of mass or centroid problem, I will provide formulas for mass and moments.
You can skip flux problems from Section 16.2. Note that flux line integrals are ones like:
$\int_C {\bf F}\,{\bf\cdot}\,{\bf n}\,ds = \int_C -N\,dx+M\,dy \quad$ where $\quad {\bf F} = \langle M,N \rangle$.
You can SKIP THESE FLUX INTEGRALS.
The few problems that relate to Section 16.2 and probability density functions are noted below (see Fall 2009).
Beware: None of the problems involve computing means for prob. dens. functions.

Old tests can be found here.
While old tests are a good resource for getting an idea of what kinds of things I like
to ask. Keep in mind that we switched textbooks a year or two ago so there are a few topics
that aren't as relevant and a few that are missing. For example, you won't find much
referencing torsion. Also, keep in mind that summer school tests are longer because
fall/spring tests are designed for 50min classes.
Studying old tests is helpful, but make sure you also look over your notes from class
and try lots of suggested homework problems.

02/05 Monday's class will be ONLINE. Again, sorry about that!
Monday = Class online. Watch "Basic Calculus of Vector Valued Functions" (54 mins).
02/03 I plan to record each class going forward. Links will be sent out via email
through AsULearn's "Announcement" feature. If you go to AsULearn and look at our
course under "Announcements", you should find previous announcements with video
links.
Friday = After answering questions, we will have Quiz #2 (in class).
This covers 11.1 and 12.5 (and corresponding videos). Expect a short
quiz with a question about parameterizations, one about lines, and
one about planes. [Closed note. On paper.]
Monday = Sadly, we will be online. I will post video(s) to watch. Sorry! This one's my fault.
01/27 I have a couple of announcements/reminders/notes...
Our first quiz is FRIDAY (1/29/2021). It should appear in our electronic homework
system (Pearson) at 8:25am (EST). The quiz covers material from 12.1-12.4. In fact,
I have selected and slightly modified homework problems - one from each of those
four sections. We will spend the first part of class going over questions (before
the quiz becomes available).
Unless something changes, we are slated to MEET IN PERSON MONDAY (sorry to yell).
So hopefully I will see you on Monday at 8am in the Library (BLIC 114). I understand
that some of you may have move in time conflicts, etc. I plan on recording class and
sending out a link later that morning.
I noticed that not everyone on the roll has registered for my course in Pearson. If
that's you, you don't have access to our eText and you won't be able to take Friday's
quiz. YOU NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO PEARSON TO TAKE FRIDAY's QUIZ! If you have any
difficulty getting set up, please let me know (obviously - let me know before Friday
morning).
01/25 Weekly Schedule & Suggested Videos:
Monday = [finish] The Dot Product (51 mins)
Simple Determinants (21 mins)
Tuesday / Wednesday = The Cross Product: Algebraically (36 mins)
The Cross Product: Geometrically (42 mins)
Friday = Introduction to Maple (38 mins)
Quiz #1 covers up through 12.4 (cross products).
01/19 Suggested Videos:
Today = What is Dimension? (36 mins)
3D Coordinates and Distance (55 mins)
Wednesday = Vectors Geometrically and Algebraically (50 mins)
Friday = Vectors: Unit Vectors, Normalization, and some Physics! (36 mins)
[some of] The Dot Product (51 mins)

From Lisa Maggiore (lm72407@appstate.edu) our faculty Math Lab coordinator:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
We have an amazing tutor team for Spring semester in the General
Help Lab. Here's some helpful information for you...
Hours and Zoom site:
Sundays through Thursdays, 4-7 pm, ALL MAT courses except for special
topics, in addition to Praxis prep, GRE prep. STT course coverage is
limited, but "R" has full coverage. When I send out the schedule I will
note which tutors feel comfortable with STT 1810/2810/2820.
Zoom site: https://appstate.zoom.us/my/genmatlearninglab
The Math Help Lab is available to provide additional help to students
with a desire to have a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical
topics covered in their class. Tutors are available to help enhance
your learning; they do not serve as a substitute for going to class
and they are not there to do your work for you. Students work
individually, or with others in their class, and request help from
tutors who are standing by to answer questions. Preference in
assistance will be given to students who attend class regularly, and
who exhibit a strong desire to master the material.
How to use the lab:
Have all necessary materials with you (laptop, textbook, class notes,
etc.). When you click the link and are on Zoom, please provide your
Appstate username for the tutor to sign you in. When you need
assistance, feel free to ask the tutor any questions that you have.
If you have been placed in a Breakout Room so that the tutors can stay
organized, simply send a message through Zoom's Chat feature. This
meeting is a great resource for you to ask questions or for you to
simply have a good working environment. Please utilize this resource
and reach out to me if you have any questions.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
01/11 Per the chancellor's announcement, class will meet online until
at least the beginning of February. I will send out more information
regarding meeting plans soon. For now, we should plan to meet via Zoom.
