MAT1505 23F homework and daily class log

Jump to current date! [where @ is located]

Your homework will appear here each day as it is assigned, with occasional links to some MAPLE worksheets when helpful to illustrate some points where technology can be useful. [There are 56 class days in the semester, numbered consecutively below and  labeled by the (first initial of the) day of the week.]

It is your responsibility to check homework here (not all problems are in WebAssign). You are responsible for any hyperlinked material here as well as requesting any handouts or returned tests or quizzes from classes you missed. Homework is understood to be done by the  next class meeting (unless that class is a test, in which case the homework is due the following class meeting). WebAssign "deadlines" are at 11:59pm of the day they are due, allowing you to complete problems you have trouble with after class discussion. [If Friday is quiz day, HW due Friday has a WebAssign deadline of midnight Monday.]  The WebAssign extension tool can be used to request more time or more attempts for a given homework assignment, so persistence can give any student 100 percent credit on the homework cumulative grade.

HOMEWORK SUCCESS:
Read the textbook (w
atch embeded videos). Do the homework assignments on time to keep up. Use the Ask Your Instructor tool when you are stuck. Ask for extensions in due date and number of tries till you get 100 percent correct.

Textbook technology: WebAssign homework management/grading is required, giving you access to an incredible wealth of multimedia tools together with the online e-book textbook you can access from any internet connection. WebAssign deadlines are suggested to keep students on track, but extensions in time and number of tries are always granted.
Textbook problems
are labeled by chapter and section and problem number, and identify each WebAssign problem. Optional problems which are not available in WebAssign will be square bracketed [[...]] and are helpful for your learning. Check this homework page for hints and some linked Maple worksheet solutions. Use the Ask Your Instructor tool to get help on any problem for which you cannot get the correct answer. There is no reason for anyone not to get 100 percent credit for the homework assignments. This is the most important component of learning in this class, doing problems to digest the ideas.

Read what Villanova students say about the most important things you can do to succeed here.

If you have any questions, drop by my office St Aug 370 (third floor facing Mendel by side stairwell) or just come to see where you can find me in the future when you might need to. I welcome visitors.

    Homework:
    Make sure you read my welcoming email sent before the first class, and register with WebAssign (immediately, if not already done) and by the weekend, reply to that email with your schedule attached as described there, including a bit of introduction of you to bob, as described in that email.

    Make sure you download Maple 2023 to your local computer, available by clicking here and install it when you get a chance (it takes about 15 minutes or less total), If you have any trouble, email me with an explanation of the errors. You are expected to be able to use Maple on your laptop when needed. We will develop the experience as we go. I will give one-on-one tours of Maple in office hours to those who are interested.
    No problem if you never used it before, as is the case for all entering freshmen.

    Maple group exercise in class:
    6.AppliedProject: Where to Sit at the Movies (after 6.5)  Assume the result of part 1 (just trigonometry), then do parts 2-4 to get a real life example of an average viewing angle.

    [mat1505] lastname-lastname-...maple6.mw    and same filename attached so I can give feedback.

  14. F: Quiz 4 (work, avg value but no Int by Parts yet!)  [remark: words and math]
    Chapter 7:1-4 "Methods of Integration" is obsolete in the age of computer algebra systems; there is no general approach to finding antiderivatives.
    Lecture Notes 7.1a on Integration by Parts;
    7.1:  (integration by parts is useful in physics/math variational problems, not so much as an integration technique that we need to worry about, but we need to be aware of the process):
    3, 5, 9, 13, 23, 45 [example of using Tutor]; 
    just for fun: [Explore iteration example].

    WEEK 5[-2]:  Test 1 Thursday
  15. M: Lecture Notes 7.1b on Integration by Parts etc;

    [Optional: Maple approach to the unlinked problems, with explanations.] [compare Midpoint versus Simpson]

    Is there a desire for a 5pm problem session today in Mendel G90 to ask any questions for me to solve? The room is booked.

  17. Th: Test 1 thru 7.1 (see archive). Come early if you can to get started.

  18. F:  No quiz during Test week;
    Lecture Notes on Approximate Integration;
    7.7: (numerical error?): together: 21 [saving you tedious input in WebAssign], catch up on past HW since no WebAssign tonight!

    Aside. If you use Maple's Approximate Integration Tutor, note other methods listed. Simpson 3/8 rule uses a 3rd degree polynomial, while Newton Cotes formulas (see the Approximate Integration Tutor window menu) generalize the trapezoidal and these Simpson rules to even higher order polynomials. [wiki]
    Amusingly enough the proof of the error estimate for the trapezoidal rule involves two clever integration by parts and once verified, the whole proof becomes relatively straightforward. So as I mentioned, integration by parts is essential for advanced mathematics and applications. The Simpson's rule error estimate proof  is more of the same.

    78 [note dx/sqrt(x) 2 d (sqrt(x)), what does that suggest? the sqrt(x) is inside the composed function, let it be u];
    [in each case, 1) re-express integrand in terms of u AND  re-express differential in terms of u and du, and 2) change to new u-limits of integration. Then evaluate this completely new integral expressed entirely in terms of the new variable.]

    80 [liters!], 82 [hyperbolic function!],
    88 [games with limits];
    89 [this is just a change of variable problem, we don't have to actually do the integral).

    45, 47 (numerical solve needed);
    in class exercise:
    49 (remember definitions of cosh and sinh; you need to numerically solve for a in the interval a = 40..100,  Solve, Numerically Solve From Point, choose a = 40);

    We skip 8.2 on surface area since this is not even required in the syllabus of multivariable calculus MAT2500.

    WEEK 9[-2]: Test 2 thru chapter 8 in class Thursday this week (improper integrals, arclength, probability)

    Sequences and series: we don't need to be experts on the preliminaries,
    the emphasis is on Taylor series at the end of chapter 11.
  31. M: Lecture Notes 11.1 on infinite sequences; (long section but we only need an intuitive idea, not so much detail);
    Watch 11.1 first page introduction 8 minute video; (see also motivating sequences and series worksheet):
    11.1: 1, 7, 8, 21, 27, 35,  47 (l'Hopital's rule: ∞/∞), 55 (combine ln's first), 57.

    > f(n):=1/2n
    > seq(f(n), n = 1..10)    this is how you generate sequences in Maple; use evalf(f(n)) if you want the decimal values instead.

  32. W: Test 2 prep: ask bob to work whatever problems still confuse you. Quiz 6 answer key is online.

  33. Th: Test 2 in class.

  34. F: Lecture Notes 11.2 on infinite series; [Maple notation]

    11.4: 1, 2, 7, 9, 11, 17, 26,  33, 41 [note the missing differential in the WebAssign comparison integral!].
    Note: rn = en ln(r) is an exponential function of n, while n p is a power function of n, explaining why geometric series and p-series are the two important kinds of limit comparison series for series whose formulas are constructed from the term number n.

    The factorial n! is even faster in growing than powers or exponentials [Sterling's approximation]: exponentials on steroids!

  37. Th: Lecture Notes 11.5 on Alternating Series;

  39. M:  Lecture Notes 11.6 on Ratio [& Root] Tests;
    11.6: 1, 3, 5, 9, 14, 15,
    19 [notice that this a_n factors so that the factorial in the denominator cancels the factorial in the numerator, leaving behind the nth power of that common factor, so it is a geometric series!],
    21, 39.

    [Optional FUN! if you want to be amazed, read this short worksheet of problem 50 which mentions William Gosper calculating 17 million digits of Pi (!) and shows dramatically how using an efficient series representation pays off.]

    We are skipping 11.7 since general series convergence tests are not as important for Taylor series, where the "absolute convergence ratio test rules" and the ratio test plus p-series comparison is all that matters, apart from the alternating series error estimate; now we start the important stuff of functions represented by Taylor series.

  40. W: Lecture Notes 11.8 on power series (almost Taylor, finally!);
    11.8: 2, 4, 6, 11, 13, 15, 21, 24,

    11.9 (tricks with power series):
    1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
    21 (reorder the indexing!), 27,

    Lecture Notes 11.10a on Taylor series;
    11.10 (Taylor series!):
    3, 4, 5, 6, 24, 27 [recall cos(n Pi) = (-1)^n , why? think],
    55 [convert degrees to radians, use alternating series estimate!].

    "Maclaurin series" = Taylor series centered at origin, term not used outside Calc books!
    > taylor(exp(x),x = 1, 6) ; convert(%,polynom)       # up to 5th power, centered at 1

  44. W: Lecture Notes 11.10c: Taylor series loose ends;
    [Taylor remainder formula: theory, practice but not for testing, just to be aware);
     (products and quotients of series? not for us, leads to tan(x): video of long division, wiki; tantaylor; ditto for other quotient trig functions];
    [exp,ln,trig,binom series (all we can handle, missing are arcsin,arccos, use binomial series integration to get those];
    11.10: useful limits with Taylor:  68, 69 [similar to 68], 70.

     [optional: for fun look at an unusual function 96 which does not have a Taylor series at x = 0 even though it and all of its derivatives exist there].

  45. Th:11.11: Lecture Notes 11.11 on Taylor series apps  [kinetic energy, black body radiation]
    11.11: we only need the alternating series estimates for the cosine and sine for example, so take this first section as a read only section; the second section Applications to Physics shows some examples of how often one or two terms in the Taylor series are enough to give a good approximation;
    No WebAssign for this section; we look at the following two problems in class together: 35  [details worked out here],
    and: 37 (solution given).


  46. F:  Quiz 9 online;
    11.R: in 11-21 recognize how to quickly identify the large n behavior for many of these;
    19 just use ratio test; ratio is quotient of new factors in numerator and denominator;
    22 [binomial series: expand this in terms of  x = 1/n after factoring out an n from the square roots to get sqrt(1+-1/n) to see large n behavior from leading term in this expansion, the linear approximation],
    look at some of the following problems that seem reasonable: 40-44 you should be able to answer all of these (for example 43 or 41);
    47-54 use tricks by manipulating simple series;
    55
    ,
    56a [like 11.10.59 it becomes alternating after the first term, use Alt Series estimate], 59;
    60
    is a great application we will do together in class. [solution].

  50. Th:  Lecture Notes 10.2 on calculus of parametrized curves: tangents;
    10.2: 1, 9, 13 [pick the best tangent line by eye], 15, 24.

    remember the template for plotting parametrized curves:
    > plot([x(t),y(t),t=0..2]) 
    and for animations:
    > with(plots):
    > animatecurve([x(t),y(t),t=0..2])
     

  51. F: Lecture Notes 10.2b on calculus of parametrized curves: areas and arclengths
    10.2:  positive areas, only the sign is troublesome:
    36 [y dx/dt>=0 so integrate this t = 0 ..Pi/2],
    39 [-y dx/dt>=0 so integrate this t = 0 ..2 Pi],
    these arclength problems can be done by hand:
    47 [obvious u-sub, factor common power outside of sqrt];
    48 [perfect square].

    WEEK 14[-1]:
  52. M:  Lecture Notes 10.3 polar coordinates; [fun: Earth centric venus orbit!];
    (trig refresher online: trigpolar coords); Maple polar curve plots;
    10.3:  3, 5, 9, 11, 17 [mulitply both sides by r]
    19, 22, 25 [replace x^2+y^2 by r^2, then replace y, divide through by r],
    35 [where does it start with theta = 0?],
    43 [where does it start with theta = 0?].


  53. W: Test 3 due in class;
    Lecture Notes 10.4 on polar curve areas; [video example; circle and cardioid]
    10.4: 3 [this traces out the loop exactly once, with a small interval of negative r between 3Pi/4 and Pi that sweeps out the part below the x axis],
    7, 21 [plot and find exact two angles where r = 0, integrate between them for inner loop],
    23 [draw these by hand, both circles], 35 [like in class example].

     
  54. Th: Lecture Notes 10.4 on polar curve arclength;
    10.4: 49 [this is a semicircle of arclength Pi times radius: integrand is constant];
    51 [obvious u-sub after factoring out largest power from sqrt],
    59 [Maple evaluation of integral! what is the angular range for r>=0?].

  55. F: Test 3 answer key online ;
    Lecture Notes 10.4 on polar curve tangents  [example 5]
    10.4: 63, 69 [obvious points on circle, derive polar coords].
    (not on final exam)

    WEEK 14 last day:
  56. @  M: CATS on BlackBoard; review for final:
    10.R.44 polar coord arclength (by hand!) and area (set up, then Maple)
    [limited to parametrized curve tangent lines and slopes like 10.2:7-12, 21-24,
    arclengths like 10.R.39, polar curve areas and arclengths].

 


Weeks 3 and 4 or 5 or earlier: come by and find me in my office SAC370, spend 5 minutes, tell me how things are going. This is a required visit.  If you are having troubles, don't wait to see me.

Tests: week 5, 9, 12 -13? [week long take home] (tentatively)

FINAL EXAM:             review Wed Dec 13, 5-6pm Mendel G92
MAT1505 [MWF 09:35 PM] Fri, Dec 15 08:30 am - 11:00 am
