Multivariable Calculus

We will be spending the rest of the time studying multivariable calculus. This is not in our book (the college version of our textbook with all three terms of calculus has it) so you will be getting handouts of pertinent sections.  We will be using a different book (by Larson) which has better notation.  Here is the syllabus and the first week of homework assignments:

5/09  13.1  Intro to Multivariable  HW p.892-894/31-37 odd, 43 (skip
                                                       confirming), 4-48, 49-49 odd, 63-66

5/13  13.3  Partial Derivatives HW p.912-913/1-4, 6-27 by 3's,
                                                       29, 35, 37-40, 45, 47, 89-91
5/14  13.4  Increments and Differentials HW p.921-922/1-9 odd, 11-16,
                                                17,19,20,27,30-32,34-36,40 (see extra
                                                handout for specific instructions)
5/15  13.6  Directional Derivatives and Gradients  HW p.940/1-8,13-18,
                                               21-24,27,28,39,40a-43a (just part a here)
5/16  13.6  Apps of the Gradient  HW p.940-942/44-52, 55-63 odd, 64, 73

5/20  13.8  Extrema of Functions of Two Variables
5/21  13.9  Applications of Extrema
5/22  Review
5/23  No class (MCAS)
