Week of January 6 – January 10 (First Week)

Learning to type and understand the input statements
of  Chapter 1 (MATHEMATICA Basics)

     Most of the input statements of Chapter 1 can be downloaded from the notebook accessed by clicking here. 

     Some of the animations require adjustments to the control buttons. 

It is helpful to evaluate the MATHEMATICA Input statements as you read in the text what they do.

Week of January 13 – January 17 (Second Week)

Solving the various problems assigned in the download prepared for Chapter 1.

 

Each of the following Labs will begin with a short quiz on the most basic techniques.

About 10 minutes should be sufficient and the questions will be similar to the previously assigned problems.  Then, the remainder of these labs will be devoted to new topics in our textbook.  As the course progresses, there will be new notebooks to download for evaluation as the corresponding topics are covered in the textbook.  The corresponding MATHEMATICA notebooks will be downloadable from hyperlinks to be created below.

__________________________________________________________________________

No homework will be collected.  Grades will be based solely on the short quizzes given at the beginning of each class from the third week onward.

The only serious misprint occurs in the formula for   slopeMovie   on page 61.

There should be a comma at the end of the third line from the bottom of the page.

Input statements  (written in InputForm rather than StandardForm) can be downloaded  by clicking here.  They may be evaluated one-by-one as you read about the corresponding topics in Chapter 4.   The only serious misprint in this Chapter occurs at the bottom of page 128 where the formula for  simpsonData  should have

       wt[i_] := 3. + (-1)^i              in place of           wt[i_] := 3. +(-1)^(i-1)      .

Chapter 7 of our textbook corresponds to subject matter (infinite series, functions defined by power series, etc.)  that is covered in Calculus III.  Thus, we shall skip Chapter 7.

 Chapter 8 contains a very interesting animation for polar coordinates on page 218.

Input statements can be downloaded by clicking here.  They may be evaluated one-by-one as you read about the corresponding topics in Chapter 8.
