Dear Students,

MAT225 SSII Week 5 Summary!

OK, we made it! You are currently taking your final on our last day of class even as I type! Good luck on the Final! 

We tackled Stokes' Theorem and The Divergence Theorem this week. Note that The Divergence Theorem is also known as Gauss' Theorem. You remember Gauss from Physics E&M class and Maxwell's Equations fame, don't you?

These last two theorems are just both of Green's theorems extended from the Plane to Space (2D to 3D). 

Taken together, all four of these theorems are known as the: 

4 Great Theorems of Multivariate Calculus 

and form the capstone to our course using all the tools we've developed all summer: 

Vectors, Matrices, Partial Derivatives, 2nd Partials Test, LaGrange Multipiers, Iterated Integrals, Cartesian & Polar Coordinates, Cylindrical & Spherical Coordinates, Line Integrals, Surface Integrals, Gradient Vectors and Gradient Vector Fields, Divergence Functions and Curl Vectors! Holy cow!

Thanx for an awesome Summer Session. I had great fun, I hope you did too. I hope you learned a lot this summer at least! Good luck in all your future endeavors, your majors and your careers. You made it easy for me to come back to Face-To-Face teaching after 5 years of remote teaching over zoom. I will remember you all, fondly. Please have a great, fun and healthy rest of the summer!


Here's a brief summary of what we covered this last week of class:


MULTIVARIATE CALCULUS LECTURES

Flux Integrals In Space & Gauss' Theorem


Work Integrals In Space & Stokes' Thm


GUEST SPEAKERS & DOCUMENTARIES

Admiral Grace Murray Hopper


William Noel of The Walters Museum


Morgan Freeman & The Powers Of 10



CSA Colonel Chris Hadfield


MIT Professor Denis Auroux & TAs






University Of Victoria Professor Trefor Bazzett




Hope you found that helpful!


Well, that's all folks!

NOTE TO READER:
In recent years our independent study class has been about the care and feeding of Linux Clusters: How to Build A Cluster, How To Program A Cluster and What Can We Do With A Cluster? 

BTW, Shadowfax is the name of the cluster we build! FYI, we offer 4 computing courses: 

CSH: Computer Science Honors with an introduction to coding in Python using SAGE, IDLE, VIDLE and Trinket

CSA: AP Computer Science A using CS50, this IDE and this IDE and OpenProcessing

CSI: Computing Science Independent Study using OpenMPI and 

CSL: Computing Science Lab which is a co-requisite for Calculus students using Computer Algebra Systems such as SAGE.
