Announcements

Check this space for announcements during the semester!

There's new stuff in the both the homework section and the solution section below.
Review Sessions. On the first four Fridays of the semester there will be review sessions in the lecture rooms at the normal lecture time. These review sessions will cover vectors, dot products, and cylindrical and spherical coordinates for those people who haven't seen them before. (Or those people who would like a refresher.)

TA Lab Hours

Announcement: It seems we've beem preemted in the Lab on Monday, 9/15, at 12:20. Lab Office hours will run from 9:05 to 12:10, and resume the normal schedule at 2:30. TAs will be on duty in the Lind Hall computer lab on Mondays. Note that the lab should be open during other times, but there might only be an IT Lab Assistant present. That means you can work on the computers, but not ask questions about the labs or homework.

Computer Help for Linux

Here are instructions for using email on the lab computers.

Help with basic linux commands (to delete/rename files, etc.) can be found here. (In particular read "Working in your Environment.")

Labs

Here is the IT Labs webpage: look here to find out where labs are, and when they're open.

Here are some instructions on writing lab reports.

Here's a sample lab report so you can see what we're expecting.

And here's a former TA's lab report for Lab 1B: [.NB] or [HTML]. [Warning: the Mathematica notebook looks nicer, but it takes a while to load because the pictures are included in it!]

Here is a little advice on the technical aspects of how to write lab reports, i.e. by hand, with the computer, which programs to use, etc. (The opinions are semi-official course positions.)

Remember: you are not allowed to print in the lab! If you choose to print your lab report using Mathematica in another lab, be sure to follow the online printing hint: To make Mathematica print brackets, parentheses, and other characters correctly: when you choose Print from the File menu, a dialog box appears. Before clicking "OK," make sure that the boxes for the options "Include Mathematica fonts in document" and "Include PostScript resource comments" are both checked. There's a picture of this on Dan Drake's page.

Homework

Here's an animation which demonstrates the first step of solving Stokes Theorem problems.

Here's an interactive version of the surface for Exercise 5.6 #16, along with some hints.

Here's an interactive version of the surface for Exercise 5.6 #17, along with some hints.

If you've misplaced one of your midterms, you can download the exam questions. Note that you shouldn't assume the questions on the final exam will be similar to the exam questions; looking at the sample final exams (on the main course page) might be a better indication of what to expect.

Homework

Here are a few homework solutions from a former instructor. They don't exactly match our assignments, but you might still find them useful. Please don't write to the author with questions; he's not teaching the course anymore. Contact your current instructors with questions.
