MAT2500 14S [Jantzen] homework and daily 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. [Sorry, no amusing You Tube links.] [There are 56 class days in the semester, numbered consecutively below and  labeled by the (first initial of 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. Homework is understood to be done by the  next class meeting (unless that class is a test).


Textbook technology: Red numbered homework problems have hints on the textbook [7e Early Transcendentals] website TEC site, which also has tutorials and on-line quizzes and web extras. You just need to do a short Java software install on your laptop first to use it.

  1. M (January 13, 2014):
    GETTING STARTED STUFF
    . By Wednesday, January 15, e-mail me [robert.jantzen@villanova.edu] from your OFFICIAL Villanova e-mail account (which identifies you with your full name) with the subject heading "[mat2500]", telling about your last math courses, your comfort level with graphing calculators and computers and math itself, [for sophomores only] how much experience you have with Maple (and Mathcad if appropriate) so far, why you chose your major, etc, anything you want to let me know about yourself. Tell me what your previous math course was named (Mat1500 = Calc 1, Mat1505 = Calc 2, Mat2705 = DEwLA).
    HINT: Just reply to the welcome email I sent you before classes started.
    [In ALL email to me, include the string "mat2500" somewhere in the subject heading if you want me to read it. I filter my email.]


    On your laptop/tablet if you brought it:
    1) Open
    Internet Explorer or your favorite browser. (You can open Maple files linked to web pages automatically if Maple is installed on your computer.)
    2)
    Log in to MyNova on the Villanova home page in Internet Explorer (click on the upper right "login" icon and use your standard VU email username and password) and check out our class photo roster, and visit the link to my course homepage from it by clicking on my home page URL under my photo and then on our class homepage, directly (better yet, right click on the link and open it in another tab to get rid of all that MyNova crap at the top of the window!):
    [ http://www.homepage.villanova.edu/robert.jantzen/courses/mat2500/ ],
    3) Open
    Maple if you already have it by clicking on this maple file link: equianglespiralshell.mw] [Duke website]
    And then bob will open the first Maple file in the handouts folder linked to our course home page.
    4)
    bob will quickly show you the computer environment supporting our class.
    [maybe he will try to impress you with this gee whizz! Maple video; naahh...we'll leave this only to the curious among us.]

    During class in the first part of the semester, a signup sheet will be passed around for your signature. Make sure you sign at the end if it bypasses you. Today please put your nickname or your first name to be used in class, and include your cell phone number and your
    3 letter dorm abbreviation listed on the short list side of the signup sheet.

    Afterclass:
    5) log on
    to My Nova, choose the Student tab, and go to BlackBoard and look at the Grade book for our course: you will find all your Quiz, Test and Maple grades here during the semester once there is something to post.
    [This is the only part of BlackBoard we will use this semester.]

    In the Student Tab, click on the double person icon to the right of our class line to get to our photo class roster [look at the photo class roster to identify your neighbors in class!]
    and click on my home page URL under my photo. Click on our class URL there. Check out the on-line links describing aspects of the course (no need yet to look at the MAPLE stuff).
    [You can
    drop by my office St Aug 370 (third floor, Mendel side, by side stairwell) to talk with me about the course if you wish and to see where you can find me in the future when you need to.]

    6) Download Maple 17  if you haven't already done so and install it on your laptop when you get a chance (it takes about 15 minutes or less total), I will help you in my office if you wish.). 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. No problem if you never used it before.


    7) Read computer classroom /laptop etiquette.


    8) Homework Problems: 12.1: 1, 2, 3, 5 (short list so you can check out our class website and read about the course rules, advice, bob FAQ, etc, respond with your email; those who do not yet have the book: handouts/stewart6e_12-1.pdf). It is important that you read the section in the book from which homework problems have been selected before attempting them. Here is an example of a PDF problem solution: Stewart 12.1.42 [Okay, I cheated and looked at the solution manual to see how to get started. Then I made a nice Maple worksheet of the problem, just to have an example of a Maple worksheet to show you. Don't worry, we will take it slow with Maple.]
    It is important that you read the section in the book from which homework problems have been selected before attempting them.


    9) Fill out the paper schedule form bob handed out in class. [see handouts];  use the 3 letter dorm abbreviations
    to return in class the next class day. Block out your time slots, identify by name of course like MAT2500.
     
  2. T: handout on diff/int/algebra [ok, tomorrow, I forgot the copies were in the same folder as my schedule sheets];
    return your schedule forms at the beginning of class;
    check phone number, dorm info on daily signup sheet from first day entry;
    check out the textbook website homework hints (Calculus, Early Trancendentals) and extras;
    12.1:  11, 13, 15, 19a [hint: show the distance from P1 to M is the same as from P2 to M and equal to half the total distance; this is the hard way with points and not vectors],
    21a
    , 23, 33, 37;
    12.2: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, 19, 21, 25.  
     
  3. W: handout on course rules, syllabus;

    34 (draw a picture, express the components of each vector, add them exactly (symbolically), evaluate to decimal numbers, think significant digits),
    37 (tension result given in units of force; vertical component balances downward gravitational force F = mg, g = 9.8 N/kg, where m = 0.8kg) [pdf,.mw],
    45
    .
     
  4. F: No Quiz first week;
    Review ends, now we start new material: vector geometry beginning with the dot product;
    12.3: [example 3];
    1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 15, 21 (it is enough practice to find just one angle, say between PQ and PR), 23, 33;
    optional fun problems if you like math: 55 (geometry [pdf,.mw]), 57 (chemical geometry [ soln.mw, plot: methane.mw]).

    WEEK 2[-1]:
    M: no class MLK Day.
  5. T: SNOW DAY. Read handout on resolving a vector  and this Maple worksheet: [using Maple (for dot and cross products and projection)];
    12.3: 39, 45, 46 [ans: b = ortha b = <1.18,-0.29>], 49.

    [Here I can put vectors in boldface, but by hand we always need an overarrow to remember the symbol represents a vector!]

  6. W: SNOW DAY; cross product:  handout on geometric definition;
    12.4: [why component and geometric definitions agree: crossprodetails.pdf];
    1, 5, 8, 11, 15 (move u right so initial points coincide), 16,
    19
    , 21, 27 (find 2 edge vectors from a mutual corner first, use 3 vectors and cross product),
    31 (Maple example: trianglearea.mw),
    33, 35, 37 (zero triple scalar product => zero volume => coplanar),
    39 (first redo diagram with same initial points for F and r).

    > <2,1,1> · (<1,-1,2> x <0,-2,3>)  
    [boldface "times" sign and boldface centered "dot" from Common Symbols palette]
    > <2,1,1> · <2,1,1>     then take sqrt (Expressions palette) to get length [example worksheet: babyvectorops.mw]

    ignore this: [triplecrossproduct identity?]

  7. F: 12.4.38: Use Maple to enter the difference vectors AB, AC, AD and find their triple scalar product.
    32a. Use Maple to find a vector as requested, then find the unit vector giving its direction.
    Study 13S Quiz 1 [for practice, redo the projection diagram sketch for projecting P2P3 along P1P2]. Catch up on HW.

    WEEK 3[-1]:
  8. M:  Quiz 1   ; it is helpful to bring a straight edge to draw lines;
    [look at quiz archive 2500 13S to get an idea what I expect, given any two vectors in the plane, one can project one along and perpendicular to the other];
    we can even make an animation of this with a little extra care showing both the acute and obtuse included angle case for the projection:
    handouts/triangleprojectionvideo.gif [.mw];
     
    detour: parametrized curves:
    [textbook example curves: s10-1.mw (wow!)][parametrized curve tutorial];
    open these worksheets and execute them by hitting the !!! icon on the toolbar (then read them!);
    it is not very useful to try to draw parametrized curves based on what the graphs of x and y look like: technology is meant for visualizing math!;
    BUT REMEMBER, WE JUST NEED TO WORK WITH SIMPLE CURVES.
    10.1: 1, 9, 13, 17 [hyperbolic functions, Stewart 7e section 3.11: cosh2 x- sinh2 x = 1, recognition is enough],
    19, 21, just for fun: 28 [eqns; it does not hurt to use technology if you cannot guess them all];
    33, 37.

    > plot([cos(t), sin(t)], t =0..2)           square bracket after last function, plots functions versus t on same axis
    > plot([cos(t), sin(t), t =0..2])           square bracket after parameter range, plots parametrized curve in plane
    or
    > cos(t), sin(t)   right click on output, choose Plots, PlotBuilder, 2d parametrized curve.
  9. T: handout on lines and planes [.mw];
    never use the symmetric equations of a line: they are useless for all practical purposes!;
    12.5: 1 (draw a quick sketch to understand each statement),
    3, 5, 7 (parametric only),
    13, 16 [ans: a) x = 2+ t, y = 4 - t, z = 6 + 3 t ; b) (0,6,0), (6,0,18)],
    17,
    19
    ;  23, 25, 31, 41, 45, 51, 55.

  10. W: handout on geometry of lines and planes (distances between);
    in these problems do not just plug into a formula: this is practice in vector projection geometry, we really don't care about the distance!:
    12.5: 57, 69 (find point on line, project their difference vector perpedicular to the line),
    71 (find point on plane, project their difference along the normal) , 73 (find pt on each plane, project their difference vector along the normal);
    76 (draw a figure, find a point on the plane and move from it along the normal in both directions to get a point in the two desired parallel planes),
    78 (find pt on each line (set parameters to zero!), project the 2 point difference vector along the normal to the parallel planes that contain them; ans: D = 2).

    come visit me 5 minutes in my office during weeks 3, 4, 5,
    the sooner the better if you are having any troubles [test 1 in week 5: tues?]

  11. F: Quiz 1 answer key online, make sure you read it carefully;

    25
    , 37* [refer back to similar problem 27: note that  z2 = (x2+y2)! plot the spacecurve and the surface together as in the template, adjust the ranges for the surface so it is just contains the curve and it not a lot bigger],
    41 [eliminate z first by setting: z2 (for cone) = z2 (for plane) and solve for y in terms of x, and then express z in terms of  x and finally let x be t],
    12.5.57*: using the answer in the back of the book and this template, plot the two planes and the line of intersection and confirm that visually it looks right. Adjust your plot to be pleasing,  i.e., so the line segment is roughly a bit bigger than the intersecting planes (choosing the range of values for t).

    |maple14.mw problems begin:
    55*, using this template just do a single appropriate plot3d and contourplot after loading plots and defining the maple function f (x,y)],
    79a (read only b,c; if you are interested to see how the data is fit see example 3);
    after finishing the preceding, for fun look at 59-62 (maple plots reveal relationships, try to see correlations between formulas and 3d plots, then the contourplots).

    Monday 5:30-6:30pm voluntary  problem session for Test 1 at the MLRC (Falvey, Floor 2, right side).

    7*[calculate by hand, then do two plots: first > plot3d( [f(x,y),L(x,y)],x = a..b, y = c..d); choose appropriate ranges centered about the point of tangency to show a good part of the surface behavior together with the tangent plane, then zoom in by choosing a smaller window about the point of tangency as instructed by the textbook, check that they agree, make a comment that it looks right confirming differentiability].
    online handout on linear approximation and  differentials

    WEEK 7[-1]:
  24. M:
    In the USA (inch units), the 4x6 photo prints have dimensions 4 in by 6 in. In Europe (cm units) the 10x15 prints have dimensions 10cm by 15 cm. Unit conversion: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Use the differential approximation to estimate the absolute change and percentage change in the (computed) area of the USA format (new) compared to the European format (old): A = x y . Then compare your linear estimates for both to the corresponding exact changes. Make your response self-contained. [HINT: apply the differential approximation using the x and y values of the European format, with the differentials dx and dy given by the differences USA format dimensions minus the European dimensions. Solution: 4x6prints.mw]
    14.4: (differentials): 25, 27, 29, 33, 35, 39 [remember partials of this function from 14.3.83].

    Note: order of partial derivatives does not matter if they are all continuous! 14.3: 97 (note: continuity of the first partial derivatives of a function imply the function itself is continuous).


  25. T:  We skipped Quiz 3 so Quiz 4; 14.5 chain rule: 1, 11, 13, 15, 17 (I never use tree diagrams), 21, 35, 39a.

    15.1: 1, 3 [do by hand first], 3 [after doing this by hand, before next class: repeat this problem using the Maple Approximate Integration Tutor (with midpoint evaluation for (m,n) = (2,2), then (20,20), then (200,200), comparing it with the exact value given by the Tutor],
    5, 6 [midpoint sampling: (m,n)=(2,3), x along 20 ft side, y along 30 ft side: answer = 3600], 7, 9;
    15* [note: (m,n) = (1,1), (2,2), (4,4), (8,8), (16,16), (32,32) = (2p,2p) for p = 0..5 is what the problem is asking for (see 3 line Maple template); what can you conclude about the probable approximate value of  the exact integral to 4 decimal places?] .

    5:30-6:30pm voluntary  problem session for Test 2 at the MLRC (Falvey, Floor 2, right side). Note archived quiz 7 on max-min problems.

  33. T: Test 2 chapter 14, including a simple max-min word problem, which was part a of an assigned HW problem, and totally equivalent to another one: minimizing the distance of a point to a plane.

  34. W: 15.2: 1, 3, 7, 11, 21 [which order avoids integration by parts?], 23, 31, 33* (used boxed axes!);
    [iterated integrals in Maple (how to enter)]

    step by step checking of multiple integration (worksheet):
    > x + y
    > ∫ % dx
    > eval(%,x=b) - eval(%,x=a)
    >  ∫ % dy
    > eval(%,y=d) - eval(%,y=c)
    > etc... if triple integral (and simplify may help along the way)

  35. F: 15.3: handout on double integrals;
    5, 15, 17, 25, 27; 39* [just use Maple to evaluate the integral once you set it up],
    47
    , 49, 57, optional: 1, 9, 53.

    Keep in mind multivariable integration is really about parametrizing the bounding curves of regions in the plane or the bounding surfaces of regions in space, to set up iterated integrals, whose evaluation is just a succession of calc2 integrations, easily done by Maple. Setting up the integrals Maple cannot do. This is your job.

    Confirm Test 2 and recent quiz grades on Blackboard agree with your paper copy grade. Check out answer key to test 2.

    WEEK 10[-1]:
  36.  M: jump to 15.7: 1, 3, 5, 13 [optional visualization],
    15 [make a diagram, do x or y integration first, note that the tilted plane faces are described by the equations of lines in the xz or yz planes],
    21 [write 6 integrals for it], 27 [write 4 integrals for it];
    handout: example of iterating triple integral 6 different ways.

  37. T: Quiz 8 (exchanging order of integration in double integral: you need Maple to do integrals you cannot do by hand);
    first do the handout exercise: exercise in setting up triple integrals in Cartesian coordinates (please take this seriously, hand in Wednesday stapled to your work with name); then try unaided the book problems:
    15.7: 29,
    31 [see 3d Maple plot: two projections of the solid onto coordinate planes are actually faces of the solid, the third face has a border obtained by eliminating y from the two equations given in the figure to describe the condition on x and z for that edge curve, careful explanation pdf];
    if you cannot get both 29 and 31, try 33 where the diagram is made for you.
    31* use the standard maple expression palette icon for the definite triple integral of the constant function 1 to check the agreement of two different iterations with two different variables for the innermost integration step.

    CONTEXT: While a few of you may learn how to illustrate triple integrals (my hope), I will only test all of you on being able to iterate triple integrals given the 3d figure already drawn for you as in problems 33, 34, and the handout problem once you have the 3d figure given to you.

  38. W: turn in triple integral worksheet; catch up on 3d integrals. [return to instruction page for links to solution]
    15.R. (review problems at end of chapter): just draw the rough sketch of the regions of integration for 41, 42 which we will revisit later with polar and spherical coordinates to evaluate (identify the circle and sphere by their standard equations); 47, 48.

  39. F: handout: review polar coordinate trig;
    handout on polar coordinates and polar coordinate integration (the integration is next time);
    10.3 pp.654-659 (stop midpage: tangents in polar coords unnecessary for us), pp.661-662 (read graphing in polar coords [more polar fun]);
    10.3: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 21, 25, 29, 31, 33, 37 (all short review problems);
    part of Maple15.mw:
    67* [Nephroid of Freeth: starting at θ = 0 how far does theta have to go for the sine to undergo one full cycle? i.e., top at  θ/2 = 2 π ; this is the plotting interval];
    keep in mind that our most important curves for later use are circles centered at the origin or passing through the origin with a center on one of the coordinate axes, and vertical and horizontal lines, and lines passing through the origin, as in the handout examples.

    WEEK 11[-1]:
  40. M: 15.4: (areas but no lengths): use 1, 4, 5, 7, 21,
    23 [twice the volume under the hemisphere z = sqrt(a2 - x2 - y2) above the circle x2 + y2  ≤ a2],
    25
    [integrand is difference of z values from cone (below) to sphere (above) expressed as graphs of functions in polar coordinates].

  41. T: 15.4, 15.7 revisited briefly with polar coordinates
    recall 15.7.ex3 and re-express the outer double integral, inner limits of integration and integrand in polar coordinates in the x-z plane (pretend z is y, or simply interchange them since they are dummy variables of integration):
     ∫ ∫ r<=2  [∫y= x2+z2..4  (x2+z2)1/2 dy] dA = ∫ ∫ r<=2  [∫z= x2+y2..4  (x2+y2)1/2 dz] dA (see book discussion on page 1020);
    15.4: 15 [at what acute angular negative or positive values of theta does cos(3θ) =0? these are the starting and stopping values of θ for one loop],
    29, 31, 35 [what is the average depth? (integral of depth divided by area of region)],
    36 [ans: a): 2π(1-(1+R) e-R)],
    39
    (make a diagram, assembling the 3 integration regions into one simple region, then it is easy!);
    Optional: Read 40 [this enables one to sum the probability under a normal curve in statistics, grade curving, it's important!]
    Mandatory: read solution to triple integral worksheet exercise [.mw each integral with integrand 1 should give volume 8/15, but so do many incorrect iterations!] Quz answer key posted.

  42. W: Read 15.5 carefully;
    15.5 (center of mass, "centroids" when constant density; skip moment of inertia): 5, 7, 11 [see example 3], [integrals, visualize etc: .mw].

  43. F: Quiz 9 on polar coordinate integration (see 13S c-e Quiz 8 [10S, 06S, recall relevant handout]);
    15.5: (read this worksheet: probability):  27, 29, 30a [P(x<=1000,y<=1000) = .3996], 30b [P(x+y<=1000) = .2642]. [Maple is the right tool for evaluating probability integrals!],
