MAT2500-03 homework and class log
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 43? days in the semester, numbered consecutively below and
labeled by the day of the week.] Usually it will be summarized on the white board in
class, but if not, it is your responsibility to check it here. You are responsible for any
hyperlinked material here as well as requesting any handouts or returned tests or quizzes
from classes you missed.
- GETTING STARTED STUFF Monday, January 14. By Wednesday January 16, e-mail me [robert.jantzen@villanova.edu] from your
OFFICIAL Villanova e-mail account (which identifies you with your full name) with the
EXACT (case-sensitive) subject heading "[MAT2500-03]" telling
about your last math courses, your comfort level with graphing calculators and computers
and math itself, how much experience you have with MAPLE (and Mathcad if appropriate) so
far, why you chose your major, etc.
Login to the Villanova home page and check out our
My Classrooms classroom site, and visit the link to my course homepage from it
[ http://www.homepage.villanova.edu/robert.jantzen/courses/ma2500/mat2500w.htm
],
and read the on-line links describing aspects of the course (no need yet to look at the
MAPLE command worksheet or examples or tutorial). Fill out your paper schedule form (get a copy in class)
to return in class Wednesday or (if you forget) drop it by my office St
Aug 370 (third floor, Mendel side, by side stairwell) and see where you can
find me in the future when you need to.
In class: explore technology support... netscape class stuff [login to VU homepage, go to
our classroom], open maple 7.
[Note the textbook appendices A,B,C,D for review of precalculus foundations if you find
yourself a bit rusty. Also recall some rules of algebra.]

[* means use MAPLE with a partner: save as a "MAPLE
section" with a title labeling the problem on a diskette
(disk owner's name, phone number on label, all partners' names inside worksheet with date,
worksheet not in a folder but at top level) with a backup diskette or hard drive copy
(each partner keeps a copy for safety) until requested to hand in the collection of
problems as a diskette. Filename: maplex.mws, where x is the chapter
number the problems are coming from in the Calculus textbook. You may work individually on
any given problem if successful, but must meet, discuss and merge your work with a fixed
partner for a given maple worksheet collection of assignments. [Everyone must work
with a partner.] [Using MAPLE at Villanova.]
Upgrades are encouraged for completed assignments: make an honest effort to
correct your worksheet, then stop by bob's office for discussion.
