Before an exam Andre will survey the class to accommodate the students need to add a second session if necessary.
Andre will have an extra hour this Thursday February 5, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm in the study area of the Department of Mathematics, Classroom Building 103.
Mathematica notebooks with special visualizations shown in class

Review of techniques of integration from Calculus II. ReviewIntegration.pdf
The following videos show skiers skiing down on mountains. The trajectory of the skier can be described by a vector function r(t) = <x(t), y(t), z(t)>, that is, a 3 dimensional curve that (most of the time) lies on the surface of the mountain. The skis point in the direction of the directional derivative at any given point. Do these people go down on the steepest slope?

April 25: Solution to Problem 31 from Section 15.3 (from Homework Assignment 21): Problem31Section153.pdf The volume and the region of integration can be plotted with this Mathematica program: Problem31153.nb Question: can you solve this problem using triple integrals?
April 29: Remember that if you kick someone on the center of mass is like kicking them all over the place.
