MAT225: Week01 of Unit02 Partial Derivatives!

 MAT225: Week01 of Unit02 Partial Derivatives!





Dear Students, (Week01 of Unit02)

Congratulations, you have arrived! We finally started Unit02 regarding Partial Differentiation. Good job on completing Unit01 (first 3 weeks, 6 classes) and our first TEST1B on Vectors and Matrices. Most of you did well. If you didn't, let not your heart be troubled, we have 4 more tests coming up over the course of our remaining 10 weeks or so. If you show improvement, I will drop your lowest test score.

This week we introduced the Partial Derivative and covered Optimization problems using the Second Partials Test. Next week we'll cover the New Chain Rule and LaGrange Multipliers on Tuesday. Then we'll have a HWK02 review session in our Zoom Breakout rooms. I think you got a lot out of our HWK01 review last unit, so I hope you will learn a lot this time too.

As far as HWK02 is concerned, please do a few questions each week night. Just do a page or two of the multiples of 5 assigned in the Syllabus (see Blackboard) from each section. Don't spend more than an hour or two each night. Don't forget to review your notes, review our SAGE notes (see Blackboard or links above), watch our ScreenCasts (see Blackboard), read the textbook and consult our Online Math Learning Center whenever you are stuck! Here's the pages to focus on for your Chapter 15 homework:

15.1 Level Curves: Read Section, Complete Practice Exercises pp927-928 2/9/2021

15.2 Limits: Read Section, Complete Practice Exercises pp937-938 2/10/2021

15.3 Partials: Read Section, Complete Practice Exercises pp948-949 2/11/2021

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.
