MAT225 Multivariable Calculus Vectors & Matrices! (SSII 2018 - WEEK01)

MAT225 Multivariable Calculus
Vectors & Matrices!
(SSII 2018 - WEEK01)

Week01 went off without a hitch! I think we had a pretty smooth introductory week for our first week of the July session of MAT225 Multivariable Calculus. We had great fun using SAGE as our 3D Grapher and Computer Algebra System instead of a graphing calculator!


"Introductory?" I hear you ask? Well, yes, it was introductory as in the topics should have been mostly review: 2D Vectors, Dot Products, 3D Vectors, Cross Products, Matrices and some Elementary Calculus (see filks below). We also looked at some 3D Graphs and Traces.

Our first test went well. A few students had trouble but they can catch up if they go to the Math Center regularly. I also drop the lowest grade, so there's room to improve!




Next week is all about 3D Graphs and Contour Plots, Partial Derivatives, Optimization, LaGrange Multipliers and the Chain Rule.
