MathematicaCourse Content100 problems from multivariate calculusThe following link will take you to a pdf that contains between 80 and 100 problems associated with calculus in several variables. If you are doing additional problems from other textbooks and would like to give other students access to your work, then feel free to upload them to us [ here](jotform to be created). Studio MaterialsChallenge Problem Submission AreaThis link will take you to the jotform used to submit your challange problem attempts. Studio #0
* Wolfram's Handson Mathematica Tutorial (Level: Novice, Goal: Up through "Basic Graphics)" * MATH224 Specific Tutorial: Function instantiation, plot and manipulate commands (Level: Novice to Intermediate, Goal: Up through 10:08) * Here is the associated Mathematica notebook, for you to follow along. * Do not worry about the second part yet, i.e. contour plot, solve command and graphics options. You can take a look if you want. The degree of difficulty increases and if it feels stressful then stop. We will fold those commands in over time. * Liam, the maker of the video was told to speak slowly enough so that the video could be played at double-speed. Feel free to do this. * Please take notes as you go through the video. We will ask you about insights you had along the way and compile these for use in future experiences. Studio #1This week we will be visualizing conics and quadric surface via Mathematica. We will also form our working groups. There are also three deliverables, Mathematica notebook and hand calculations associated with the Studio assignment, an individual submission asking about Mathematica and Mindset and an individual team assignment.
Studio #2This week we will be leveraging Mathematica to help us understand the behavior of surfaces with respect to the apparatus of limits. Groups have been formed and each has been associated with an Undergraduate TA mentor who will introduce themselves to your group today. There will be two deliverables, hand calculations associated with the Studio assignment with Mathematica corroboration, an individual submission asking about Mathematica and Learning Preferences.
Studio #3This week will be less about Mathematica and more about concepts/calculations related to linear approximation and propagation of error. The challenge problem is about the multivariate Taylor series and asks students to work with the Mathematica to plot surfaces, points, tangent planes and quadric surface approximations. In total, there are five challenge attempts. It is recommended that all groups attempt CP #1 and CP#4. Those interested in mathematical notation and linear algebra should also attempt CP #3. Mathematica junkies should do CP#2 and CP#5. The individual submission asks you to look at the Tuckman's stages of group development, Belbin roles and, with these topics in mind, reflect on how your team is functioning.

Studio #6This is a free studio where you can ask questions about previous studios, challenge problems, the 100 questions and.... Studio #7This was the midterm exam. Studio #8This week we begin our work on multiple integration. We have a Mathematica notebook that can be used to help visualize the domain of integration as well as the integral calculation.
Returned MaterialsThe midterm exam will be returned in Studio. Midterm results Average = 87.9% Median = 90.0% A's=29(55%) B's=18(34%) C's=3 (5.6%) D's=2 (3.8%) F's=1 (1.89%)
