I just sent out an email with your final grade report including final
exam grades, course averages, and letter grades.
If you ever want to look over your final exam, please feel free to stop
by my office. I tend to keep them around for at least a couple of years.
I hope you have a wonderful (what remains of the) summer! Most importantly,
even though this class is over, if you ever have any questions mathematical
or otherwise, don't hesitate to stop by my office or send me an email. I'd love
to help if I can!

Reminders:
• The Final Exam is Tuesday (August 6th).
• IN PERSON ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.
• Our last quiz is Monday. It covers 16.2 & 16.3 plus div/curl handout.
• Homework #4 (.mw) is due Monday (August 5th) at 1pm.
Grading/Final Exam Notes:
I don't plan to drop any quizzes, but I will drop the lowest homework.
This means that if you are at peace with your Homework 1-3 scores, you
can skip Homework #4.
I will replace a lowest test score with the final exam score - if it helps.
You may bring one page of notes - one side of a standard size piece of paper - to the final.
What to study? Our final covers Chapter 16 plus supplemental problems minus line integrals
with respect to arc length (i.e., 16.1). Also, we did not do "flux" type line integrals.
We did do "flux" surface integrals. You can ignore any flux line integral stuff.
Old final exams since Fall 2013 are good resources.
Even older finals contain relevant vector calculus problems, but also have irrelevant review
questions mixed in.
Reminders:
• Test #3 is Wednesday (July 31st).
• IN PERSON ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.
• I plan to give you the same formulas as on the last few Test #3's.
• Homework #3 (.mw) is due Tuesday (July 30th).
As mentioned before, I strongly recommend getting Homework #3 done early. Not just
because you want to have plenty of time to study for Test #3, but also because it should
help you understand triple integrals better!
Test #3 will cover Chapter 15 as well as the handouts
on double Riemann sums and vector fields (we'll discuss the vector field stuff on Monday).
I also recommend checking out my multiple integral Maple examples
which contain numerous examples of setting up triple integrals.
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:
• $J = \rho^2\sin(\varphi)$.
and a double angle identity. If I give a center of mass or centroid problem, I will provide
formulas for mass and moments.
As usual, your best tool for studying is my old test. Here is our list of
relevant problems from Old Exams:
Spring 2012 up to Spring 2021
Test #3: all of it except...
Spring 2021 skip #3
Summer 2019 skip #1
Fall 2016 skip #1b
Spring 2016 skip #1b
Fall 2014 skip #1b & #1c
Fall 2013 skip #1b & #1c
Spring 2012 skip #7
Fall 2011
Test #3: 1-5
Spring 2011
Test #3: All of it except problem 3
Fall 2009
Test #3: All of it (includes a prob. dens. function problem)
Also, the Maple examples in Multiple Integrals [multiple_integrals.mw]
should be quite helpful for understanding the process of setting up triple integrals.
Reminders:
• Test #2 is Wednesday (July 24th).
• IN PERSON ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.
• I plan to give you the same formulas as on the last few Test #2's.
• Homework #2 (.mw) is due Tuesday (July 23rd).
Reminders:
• Test #1 is Friday (July 12th).
• IN PERSON ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED.
• I plan to give you the same formulas as on the last few Test #1's.
• Homework #1 (.mw) is due Monday (July 15th).
Test #1 covers the parts of sections 11.1, 11.2, 12.1-12.5, 13.1-13.5, & 16.1 we
discussed in class.
Our handout is worth checking out: Differential Geometry Summary (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
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 several years 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.
Studying old tests is helpful, but make sure you also look over your notes from class
and try lots of suggested homework problems.
I have many many examples of how to use Maple on my Maple examples page.
We will have an introduction to Maple before the first assignment is due.
