MATH182-SECTION 01: Calculus and Analytic Geometry II
We will be meeting at 8am in Wilson 1-142, and we will use Stewart's 6th
edition book. My office hours (subject to change) are Tuesdays and
Wednesdays at10am; on Thursdays they will be at 1pm. I will also be
in the Learning Center on Fridays at 10a.m. You can check the schedule
of the Learning Center to see when Math182 help is available.
The course supervisor information is the following:
Supervisor: Sandy Bowers
Office: Wilson 2-250
Email: sbowers@math.montana.edu
Phone: (406) 994-5346
General Math182 info:
You can consult the Math182
web page; there you will find the following:
Syllabus
Homework
Solution
to selected even problems
Previous
exams(See lower part of the pagepage)
Other
info (General Info, grading, Learning Center hours, Textbook)
(last updated: September 2 2008)
I will also post some announcements particular to our section here. In
particular, if you bring a print out of the syllabus, the assigned homework
and the functions whose graph you should know on Friday, you will receive
an extra point in the quiz.
CHANGE FROM THE PRINT OUT: Office hours on Thursdays change from 10
am to 1pm.
I will announce changes, if any, during class.
Some software links.
maxima is an open source
(free software; google fsf to see more) program that has the same
capabilities as Maple or Mathematica.
texmacs is an editor with which you can
write math documents. You can also use some computer
algebra systems inside (like maxima, pari, octave, sage, r, etc...),
and include the results nicely typed.
sage
is probably the best effort I know of to provide
a wrapper to many computer algebra systems with a common real
world programing language: Python. You can do numerics like
Mathlab, symbolic calculations like Maple, you also have all the
libraries python has, and can also run it in a nice note-book,
use Group Theory, Number Theory, Graph Theory, Elliptic curves, Calculus,
Linear Algebra, etc.. It already contains wrappers to Maxima,
Numpy, Sympy, Pari, and many others.
