Math 150 Lecture 002 - Fourth Homework Assignment

This assignment is related to

• Lecture 9 - Monday, September 28
• Lecture 10 - Wednesday, September 30

For discussion at recitation on Th. Oct. 1 and Tues. Oct. 6.

**** Exam #2 (Wednesday, October 7) will be based on the material covered in the first four homework assignments. ****

MAPLE:

• You should continue getting used to MAPLE by using it as often as you can.
• Study the "Higher derivatives" and "Implicit differentiation" portions of the section on "diff" (pages 87 - 91 of the Lab Manual ).
• Go through the worked Sample Problems for sections 5 and 6 of Chapter 3. This material is found on pages 137 - 139 of the Lab Manual. I suggest that you first try to do the problems using MAPLE on your own. Then compare your solutions with those in the Lab Manual.
• Work through Demonstration #4. You will not be expected to do MAPLE programming that is as sophisticated as parts of these demonstrations. However, I would like for you to understand the points that the demonstrations are meant to illustrate.

READING: Chapter 3 sections 5 through 7.

CORE PROBLEMS: Write up, for your own record, solutions to the Core Problems for sections 5 through 7 of Chapter 3.

OLD FINAL EXAM PROBLEMS: Final Exams for the past eight semesters are included at the back of your Math 150/151 Lab Manual. For this week's assignment you should work the following problems from the old final exams:
