Tom Morley's 1509

Hello.

Welcome to Mathematics 1509, Spring quarter 1998. My office hours are MWF 7:30-7:55, 9:05-9:50, Skiles 263 or Skiles 237 (Math Lounge).


General Information

Class (at Tech) is at 8:05 am in The Paul Weber Space Science and Technology Building or at Norcross High School. on MWF. For on campus students, on TTh, it is in Skiles and the TA is Aaron Proietti (EMAIL: proietti@math.gatech.edu).


Computer Project

Due Tuesday of the last week of classes.

Here is the Mathematica version -- It's a bunch of nicely constructed web pages - not a Matheamtica file -- and it contains the questions. Follow the link to Teacups.

Here some Maple Code that will help you the adapt the Mathematica code in the above web pages.


Last week

Quiz May 21

Covers: Cylindrical and spherical coordinates, Chapter 12, sections 1-3.

Suggested Problems:


May 11 is Richard Feynman's birthday
May 11, 1918 - Feb. 15, 1988
Nobel Presentation speach

Quiz this thursday (May 14) on 11.6,7,8

Suggested problems:


Week of May 4 - 8

Suggested Problems:


Week of April 27 - May 1 (Fifth Week)

Project ( In two pieces!!! Due May 1) This AND this . The project are to be done in groups of three , with one printout handed in per group. The printout should have printed on it the names of the people in the group.

If you are at Norcross, or want to do a project in a good language (Mathematica) instead of a poorly designed language (Maple), I have an alternate project. See me.

NO Quiz Thursday!


Week of April 13 - April 17 (Fourth Week)

Suggested Problems:


The week before that: (Third week of quarter)
  • Section 9.3 Improper Integrals, page 616: 1,3,5,7,37,39,41,42,43,*63
  • Section 10.3 Geometric Series, page 656: 1,3,5,7,11,13,19,20,24
  • Section 10.5 Infinite Series, page 668: 13,15,17,19,21,27.39,40
  • There will be a half hour quiz next Thursday, i.e., April 16. It covers:


    The week before the week above: (Second Week of Quarter)

    Course Outline for Math 1508
    Topic Sections Appoximate Days
    Taylor Polynomials, et.al 9.4 - 4.5, 9.1-9.3 4
    Series 10.3-10 6
    Vectors in the Plane and in Space 11.1-9 6
    Vector Functions, Differentiation, Parametric Equations 12.1-6 5
    Differentiation of Functions of Two and Three Variables 13.1-8 6

    The grade will be based on


    Note: If you have access to Mathematica on your machine, you may want to set Netscape preferences so that file extension "ma" points to Mathematica. This can be found under "helper apps". Note however, that you need a lot of RAM to do this.

    If you do not have Mathematica, you can read the following files with Math Reader , downloadable from Wolfram Research
