| The course text is Applied Calculus 4th ed., by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, et al. Wiley Press, ISBN-13: 978-0-470-17052-6. | ||||||||
| Homework assignments will be completed online using WileyPLUS (registration url: http://edugen.wileyplus.com/edugen/class/cls228722/). | ||||||||
| Reading quizzes will be adminstered via Blackboard. | ||||||||
The successful student will reach beyond the problems assigned in WileyPLUS and work numerous additional problems from the text, of varying difficulties! (See the Review Problems, Check Your Understanding, and Projects at the end of each chapter.) She may also find some of the following resources useful:

| A word on academic integrity: if you are having trouble in this course, you are encouraged to come to office hours, visit the tutoring center, or work in groups. Copying another student’s solutions, even if they’ve just explained it to you, does not display great integrity and could lead to an F in the course and a stain on your permanent record. |

11/30/2011 – Your final quiz will be a take-home quiz, due in class next Thursday (12/09). It will serve as a review for the final exam. I will take questions on on 12/09, if there are any; not before. 11/22/2011 – A fun little web-applet here for visualizing slope fields. Also, see the files added in “Course Files” below. Finally, here are some handy questions to ask yourself. 11/22/2011 – The Mathematica Notebook that we played with is available in the Course Files below. You may also be interested in looking at C.Haught’s slope field notebooks. 11/10/2011 – Your second midterm exam is Tuesday, Nov. 15, covering all of Chapters 8 and 8. Some practice problems and quiz solutions are posted below. 10/17/2011 – Here is a Mathematica notebook to help visualize functions of two variables. 10/02/2011 – I have posted quiz solutions in the Files table below and on Blackboard. 09/27/2011 – Here is the reading assignment to prepare for your quiz on Thursday. 09/27/2011 – We're starting to fall a bit behind, so I've pushed Chapter 8 to next week. It will not be on your exam next Thursday. I have posted some old practice problems for Exam #1 below and on blackboard. Expect some more by the end of the week. | |
