23F homework and daily class log
Jump to current date!
[where @ is
located]
![](../../drbob/images/munme_small.jpg)
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 (watch
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.
Explore the on-line resources. Browse the pages linked to our class home

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,

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

words the exponential is inside the composed function],
70
[transform definite integral to new variable for practice],
73, 74,
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

Lecture Notes
8.1b on arclength functions;
8.1 (HW
problems in Maple):
41, 42 [there are three equivalent
different looking forms for the arclength function due to the ln and trig
identities; only one is accepted by WebAssign: s(x)
= ln(csc(x) - cot(x))],
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.
We skip 8.3 since moments will be dealt
with in MAT2500, while hydrostatic pressure seems to far afield for most of
us.

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.
- 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.
- W: Test 2 prep: ask bob to work whatever problems still confuse you.
Quiz 6 answer key is online.
- Th: Test 2 in class.
- F: Lecture Notes
11.2 on infinite series; [Maple
notation]

entry of numerical values of first n terms):
11.2 (series
application): 1, 3, 15,
23, 25, 29, 33, 39, 49, 59,
71 [wording misleading, limiting amount
after each injestion, not the minimal level always remaining in body],

series);
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!
- Th: Lecture Notes
11.5 on Alternating Series;

WEEK 11[-2]:
- 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.
- W: Lecture Notes
11.8 on power series (almost Taylor, finally!);
11.8:
2, 4, 6, 11, 13, 15, 21, 24,
35 [Hint: just consider the additional
factors in the numerator and denominator as n goes from n to n+1 to get the
ratio of successive terms, then take its limit].
- Th: Lecture Notes
11.9 on power series tricks;
11.9
(tricks with power series):
1, 3, 5, 7,
9,
21 (reorder
the indexing!), 27,
34 [like example
8: explained by this Maple worksheet
and this PDF but a
calculator is sufficient].
optional:
Bessel approximations compared
- F:
Quiz 8;
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!

Quiz 7 answer key;
Lecture Notes 11.10b
on binomial series;
[wiki:
arcsin.mw; binomial
thm];
11.10: 35, 45, 65
(alternating series estimate)
- 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].
- 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).
- 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].

- 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]:
- M: Lecture Notes 10.3
polar coordinates; [fun: Earth centric venus
orbit!];
(trig refresher online: trig;
polar 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?].
- 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].
- 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?].
- 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:
- @
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
