Wednesday, April 1 (First Week)

Learning to type and understand the input statements
of  Chapter 1 (MATHEMATICA Basics)

     The input statements of Chapter 1 have been typed into the MATHEMATICA notebook that can be downloaded by clicking here.  

The Input statements in any downloaded notebook should be evaluated while or after you have read the textbook’s corresponding explanation.   To evaluate the Input in any marked cell (or any cell in which the cursor appears), press the right Enter key.

Wednesday, April 8 (Second Week)

Solving the various problems assigned in the download prepared for Chapter 1.

 

Each of the following Labs will begin with a short quiz on the most basic techniques.

About 10 minutes should be sufficient and the questions will be similar to the previously assigned problems.  Then, the remainder of each lab will be devoted to topics in our textbook.  As the course progresses, there will be new notebooks to download for evaluation as the corresponding topics are covered in the textbook.  The corresponding MATHEMATICA notebooks can be downloaded by means of the hyperlinks that appear below.

 

No homework will be collected.  Pass or Fail Grades will be based solely on the short quizzes given at the beginning of each class from the third week onward.   The nature of previous examinations may be surmised by clicking on the hyperlinks at the lower portion of this web page (or the web page obtained by clicking here).  While your M-number could be used as a part of your quiz problem in order to create individualized responses, we will not bother to do that.

Wednesday, June 3 (Tenth Week)

After the quiz of this class period, there will be no final examination. 

 

The MATHEMATICA notebooks that may be accessed by clicking here were prepared in 2003 for the second edition (2001) of our textbook.   They were written and evaluated correctly on my personal computer that has Version 3.0 of MATHEMATICA.  Some of the  Input statements in those notebooks that do not evaluate as desired with Version 6.0.  In particular, graphical considerations have been altered and the command Assuming  plays a greater role in integration.

Errata for :   CalcLabs with Mathematica, Sixth Edition, 2008, by Selwyn Hollis;

 

page 122, in lines 23 and 24,    replace   

                 Interpolation[Table[{t, f[t]}, {t, 0, 1, .5}], order[2]

     with    Interpolation[Table[{t, f[t]}, {t, 0, 1, .5}], order[2][x]        at both occurrences

page 128, third from last line,   replace   wt[i_]  :=  3. + (-1)^(i-1);    with   wt[i_]  :=  3. +(-1)^i;  

page 166, line 20,  replace   Integrate[ phi[s]*s, {s, 0, t}]   with   Assuming[ t < 5, Integrate[ phi[s]*s, {s, 0, t}] ]

page 180, line 12,  remove   cycloid =
