NOTES:
-
There appear to be only minor rearrangements of material in this section
of the text, so this is the same syllabus used in recent semesters with
section numbers changed. Chapter headings in this part of the text
(with comparable sections of third edition) are:
-
12. Vectors and the Geometry of Space (was sections 1 thru 6 and
10 of chapter 11)
-
13. Vector Functions (was sections 7 thru 9 of chapter 11)
-
14. Partial Derivatives (was chapter 12)
-
15. Multiple Integrals (was chapter 13)
-
16. Vector Calculus (was chapter 14)
-
In view of the wide variety of software problems we've been having and
the loss of a week in classes, Maple labs are
optional in these sections. The grader will examine any
Maple labs submitted, and students are urged to take advantage of this
opportunity to learn to use Maple.
-
Section 12.6, on quadric surfaces, is listed with a question mark in Lecture
6, since Maple Lab 2 covers this material, producing far better drawings
than most lecturers can produce. The question mark suggests that class
time not be spent on this section, but that students be asked to read it
in conjunction with the lab.
-
Coverage of Section 12.7 on cylindrical and spherical coördinates, is deferred
until it is needed, that is, just before the treatment of triple integrals
in those coordinate systems.
-
Coverage of section 15.6 on surface area is delayed, so that it comes just
before surface area of parametric surfaces. Instructors running behind
the syllabus should consider omitting sections 15.6 and 16.6.
