Day-by-day goings-on (including links to problem sets):
- Monday, January 9th. First day of class! We will talk a bit about the structure of the class, get to know each other a bit better,
and even start working on solutions to the problems on Problem Set 1 (.tex file).
You will present solutions to these problems on Wednesday, January 11th and written solutions to Problems 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 21 are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 13th.
- Wednesday, January 11th. After a brief quiz on the syllabus, we continue with our presentations of solutions to problems on Problem Set 1.
I will also hand out Problem Set 2 (.tex file), starred problems for which will be on Friday, January 20th.
- Friday, January 13th. We will wrap up our presentations from Problem Set 1 and discuss Problem Set 2.
- Monday, January 16th. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: no class!
- Wednesday, January 18th. After our first "real" quiz, we begin presenting solutions to problems from Problem Set 2.
- Friday, January 20th. We'll have a few minutes to compare notes on the last problems on Problem Set 2
before presenting those, and then we'll get started on Problem Set 3 (.tex file), written solutions to certain problems from which will be due on Friday, January 27th!
- Monday, January 23rd. An unexpected medical matter took me away from campus, and we had no class. Apologies!
- Wednesday, January 25th. After Quiz 3, we'll get onto presenting the first bunch of problems from Problem Set 3.
- Friday, January 27th. We should finish presenting solutions to problems from Problem Set 3 and be ready to begin Problem Set 4 (.tex file), written solutions to which will be due on Friday, February 3rd.
- Monday, January 30th. We will spend the day in groups, working out solutions to problems on Problem Set 4, to be presented on Wednesday.
- Wednesday, February 1st. Let's present those solutions to Problem Set 4! I'll also hand out Problem Set 5 (.tex file), written solutions to which will be due on Friday, February 10th.
- Friday, February 3rd. I'll give you the skinny on the new set of problems, and then we'll have time to work through solutions in groups.
- Monday, February 6th. After Quiz 4, you'll have a chance to work away on Problem Set 5 some more.
- Wednesday, February 8th. After a brief introduction to LaTeX, we'll spend some time presenting solutions to problems from Problem Set 5.
- Friday, February 10th. We finish presenting problems from Problem Set 5, and I will hand out Problem Set 6 (.tex file) and Exam 1 (.tex file). The exam is due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 17th,
and though you will not submit written solutions to problems from Problem Set 6, we will present solutions next week.
- Monday, February 13th. We will begin working (in groups) on Problem Set 6!
- Wednesday, February 15th. After a brief quiz concerning dot products and cross products, you will begin presenting solutions to the problems from Problem Set 6.
- Friday, February 17th. If we've not yet finished presenting solutions to Problem Set 6, we'll wrap that up...and get started on Problem Set 7 (.tex file)! Note: this Mathematica notebook, on conic sections and quadric surfaces, may come in handy!
- Monday, February 20th. We begin working in groups on problems from Problem Set 7 (above).
- Wednesday, February 22nd. After a quiz, we continue working through Problem Set 7, considering quadric surfaces.
- Friday, February 24th. Although I will be out of town, you will all come to class to present solutions to problems from Problem Set 7. I'll get you copies of Problem Set 8 (.tex file), dealing with vector-valued functions, on which we begin work on Monday.
- Monday, February 27th. We'll start our work on Problem Set 8!
- Wednesday, February 29th. We continue working on Problem Set 8, possibly beginning presentations of problem solutions.
- Friday, March 2nd. We will most certainly finish up presentations from Problem Set 8, and you'll receive Problem Set 9 (.tex file). This Mathematica notebook on parallelepipeds might help you visualize what's going on in Problem 124!
- Monday, March 5th through Friday, March 9th. Spring Break! No class.
- Monday, March 12th. We pick up where we left off, with time in class to work on Problem Set 9, above. (We will present on this problem set on Wednesday.) To help you get a grip on some of the graphs from this problem set, you might want to take a peek at this Mathematica notebook, illustrating tangent vectors.
- Wednesday, March 14th. Happy Pi Day! We'll spend our time presenting problems from Problem Set 9, and then get started on Problem Set 10 (.tex file), written solutions to which will be due on Friday, March 23rd. Also, see this Mathematica file on springs, which should help with Problem 128.
- Friday, March 16th. Continuing with Problem Set 10, we discuss curvature in a bit more detail.
- Monday, March 19th. I will get you Problem Set 11 (.tex file), on which you'll likely start work on Wednesday, in my absence. I will also hand out Exam 2 (.tex file), which will be due on Friday, March 30th.
- Wednesday, March 21st. I will be out of town, but you should come prepared to finish presenting solutions to Problem Set 10 and to work on Problem Set 11 together.
- Friday, March 23rd. Again, I will be out of town, but your class volunteers will coordinate presentations of problems from Problem Set 11. Don't forget that write-ups for Problem Set 10 are due, under my door, by this evening! (I'll be by over the weekend to pick them up for grading and return on Monday...)
- Monday, March 26th. We continue with Problem Set 11, with discussion, group work, and presentations of solutions!
- Wednesday, March 28th. After a quiz, we begin presenting problems from Problem Set 11, and I'll hand out Problem Set 12 (.tex file), solutions to which will be due on Friday, April 6th.
- Friday, March 30th. We spend some time working on Problem Set 12, solutions to which will be presented on Monday.
- Monday, April 2nd. Let's plug away at Problem Set 12! I will also hand out Problem Set 13 (.tex file), written solutions to which will be due on Friday, April 20th.
- Wednesday, April 4th. You will have time to work on solving the problems from Problem Set 13 (see the previous entry). Also, here is a Mathematica notebook that wil help you visualize the TNB frame you investigated on Problem 4 from the last exam...and another notebook helping us visualize gradient vector fields!
- Friday, April 6th. The morning class will meet in Robinson Hall, Room 125 to take in a guest presentation by visiting Parsons Lecturer Judy Walker (University of Nebraska-Lincoln). The afternoon class will have a little extra time to work on polishing up solutions to Problem Set 13!
- Monday, April 9th. We will begin presenting solutions to Problem Set 13.
- Wednesday, April 11th. After a quick quiz, we will continue work on Problem Set 13. I will also hand out Problem Set 14 (.tex file), solutions to which will be due on Friday, April 20th.
- Friday, April 13th. We will finish presenting solutions to problems from Problem Set 13 and work on Problem Set 14.
- Monday, April 16th. We will present solutions to problems from Problem Set 14 and begin talking informally about multiple and iterated integrals, the topic of your next problem set.
- Wednesday, April 18th. No class: please go to support your friends at the Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium!
- Friday, April 20th. I will hand out Problem Set 15 (.tex file), dealing with integrating functions of more than one variable. I will also hand out Exam 3 (.tex file), which will be due on Friday, April 27th ast 5:00 p.m.
