Textbook:

 

Keith Stroyan, Interactive Multivariable Calculus

Text & CD available at Zephyr copies 124 E. Washington St.

This text is required.

Note: the textbook includes a CD containing an electronic copy of the entire text and supplementary material. You need Mathematica or Mathematica Reader to read this material. You can get a free copy of Mathematica Reader from http://www.wolfram.com/mathreader/ .

Professor Stroyan's book has lots of interesting ideas and an original presentation, but there is no reason to learn from only one book. Moreover, every science and engineering student ought to have one of the standard encyclopedic calculus books on his/her shelf for reference and review. If you don't have one already, I suggest that you buy a used one, slightly out of date, in order to get the best value.

Professor Stroyan's website for this course, including the course outline and files for the e-text.


Computer Lab Schedule and assignments:

There are computer labs scheduled in 1245 SC (Engineering building) during your regular discussion hours on the following dates:

Tuesdays, September 7, September 21, October 5, and October 26.

The assignment for the first computer lab (September 7) is to work through Mathematica Lessons 1-3 posted here. These Mathematica tutorials were prepared by Professor Goodman. You do not have to hand in anything for this lab.

Mathematica Lesson 1: Getting started. (ordinary web document --read with internet browser)

Mathematica Lesson 2: Mathematica as a scientific calculator. (Mathematica notebook -- open with Mathematica)

Mathematica Lesson 3: Mathematica as a symbolic calculator. (Mathematica notebook -- open with Mathematica)


The assignment for the 2nd computer lab (Sept. 21) is to work through the following tutorial, and then to answer the questions. Do your work in a separate file (I have provide a template) and submit it via the BLACKBOARD digital drop box, as described here. Your work is due by Sept. 28, midnight.
