It can be installed on personal computers and the following links will take you to the relevant information. Big thanks to Prof. Eklund for spearheading this acquisition. Old blog post about how to get Mathematica Mines CCIT page about Mathematica site license Studio Materials Studio 1 An introduction to Mathematica through a review of parabola, lines and planes Studio 2 Lab 2 - Pretest Conics and Quadric Surfaces.nb What do you know about Mathematica that you think other students don't know but would want to know? (pdf) and Word Doc Source What would you like to see in future studios?(pdf) and Word Doc Source I am comfortable with simple plotting in Mathematica Strongly Agree: 12% Agree: 60% Neutral: 23% Disagree: 4% Strongly Disagree: 0% Mathematica plotting commands are helping me understand functions of several variables Strongly Agree: 30% Agree: 50% Neutral: 16% Disagree: 3% Strongly Disagree: 0% Studio 3 Quadric Surfaces Take Again Please Limits and Partial Derivatives (pdf) for those interested here is the .doc file source. 03.Derivatives and Differential Equations.nb Studio 4 Quadric surfaces quiz results. Question x: Attempt 1 - Percent Correct | Attempt 2 - Percent Correct Question 1: 77% | 94% Question 2: 79% | 76% Question 3: 69% | 84% Question 4: 67% | 93% Question 5: 86% | 98% Averages: 76% | 89% The drop in the second question may be due to the fact that a circular cone was presented just before attempt 1. However, it still seems that cones are problematic. Linearizations and Propagation of Error(pdf) and the WordDoc for those interested in editing Linearizations and Propagation of Error(docx) 04.TangentPlanesForDifferntiableFunctions.nb Student Submission Links Work submissions will occur electronically. This post from Prof. Strong's associated blog talks about the first submission and links to this old, old blog post about tools that students can use to make digital records of their work. A note about due dates: Your instructors understand that you are involved with many other courses outside of MATH224. As such, you should consider most due dates as soft deadlines. If you are in the middle of time critical work for another class that cannot wait then please do not stress. The submission site will be open and ready to receive your work if things run long. That said, please do not fall behind. If you feel like you are falling behind then please talk to your instructor ASAP.
