    PS 6: due Wednesday 3/6

    WeBWorK: Covers Sections 11.2, 11.3 and part of 10.6

    Handwritten:

    11.2: 13, 15, 28, 34, 37, 41, 42
             The point of this section is the Calculus, so please do
             all differentiation and integration without technology.
    11.3: 21, 33, 34
    10.6: 3, 7, 13

    Note: WeBWorK didn't have enough appropriate problems, so I had to choose more from the book than usual. In order to get your problem set graded in a timely fashion, I will not be able to grade all the problems, so I will choose a selection to grade. For the rest, I'll just give you credit for doing them. (The neater the homework as a whole is, and the more clearly explained, the more quickly I can grade each problem ... and hence the more feedback you'll get.)


    PS 7: due Wednesday 3/20

    WeBWorK: Covers the rest of Section 10.6, as well as Sections 12.1 and part of Section 12.2

    Handwritten:

    12.1: 18, 31, 32, 40
             For 31 and 32, scan or photocopy the map from your text
             Do problem 40 without technology, although of course
             you can use it to check your results.
    12.2: 18, 47, 48, 49


    PS 8: due Wednesday 3/27

    WeBWorK: Covers the rest of Section 12.2, all of Section 12.3, and part of Section 12.4. Do any (partial) differentiation without technology.

    Handwritten:

    12.2: 28, 40
    12.3: 12, 14, 30, 43, 51, 53, 58
             A large part of the point of Section 12.3 is the act of
            (partial) differentiation. Do not use technology to
            differentiate for you. When using chain rule, product
            rule, or quotient rule, show some work.
    12.4: For this week, only a few problems in WeBWorK.
