Extra credit: Find the integral of Square root of tangent x. To recieve credit on this you need to EMAIL me a detailed explination of the individual steps in computing this integral. I am NOT interested in just getting the answer, which is easy to do in maple or mathematica.

Quiz 3 solutions
Quiz 4 solutions

New! Improved! The calculus editable web pages (CoWeb pages) are here . Add what you like. I will give 1-3 points extra credit for substantial contributions to these pages. A substantial contribution is something that would prove useful to other students in this class and other students in calculus.

REMINDER: The student honor code:

Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards. The immediate objective of an Honor Code is to prevent any student from gaining an unfair advantage over any other student through academic misconduct. The following clarification of academic misconduct is taken from Section XIX, Student Conduct Code, of the Rules and Regulations section of the Georgia Tech General Catalog:<

Possessing, using, or exchanging improperly acquired written or verbal information in the preparation of any essay, laboratory report, examination, or other assignment included in an academic course;
Substitution for, or unauthorized collaboration with, a student in the commission of academic requirements;
Submission of material that is wholly or substantially identical to that created or published by another person or persons, without adequate credit notations indicating authorship (plagiarism);
False claims of performance or work that has been submitted by the claimant;

The easy way to do symbolic integrals: The Mathematica Integrator. This can also be used to check you own answers.

General Information

Class (at Tech) is at 11:00 am MWF in Skiles 256. On TTh, it is at 1:00 pm in the same place. The TA for 1508A is S. Manay

The quiz grades will be scaled and added together, and count for 55% of the grades. Computer Projects 10%, Homework 10%, and Final exam 25%.

All tests and quizes will be open book and notes. Calculators allowed.

Help stamp out meaningless symbolic manipulation

Why I prefer Mathematica

If you are taking MATH 1507, 1508, 1509, 1518, 1709, 1711, 1712, 1713, and 2507, please note that the Math Lab is open on M - Th from 11 to 4 in Skiles 257. It is staffed by teaching assistants. It is free and is open to Georgia Tech students taking the above classes.

Stupid Puzzle of the Day #6:

Note: As of yet (Feb 11) No one has answered this puzzle correctly. If you tried before, try again.

At the trial of Nat Chafee, who was accused of steeling a Calculus book, there were three witnesses, Ted Hill, Carl Spruill, and Dan Klain. These three came forth and made the following statements:

(Ted Hill) Chaffee has committed over a dozen roberies in the past.
(Carl Spruill) That is not true
(Dan Klain) He (Chafee) has certainly committed at least one!

It turned out that exactly one of the witnesses told the truth. Did Chafee steel the Calculus book or not?

Solution by Ryan Cantor: Chafee did not still the book. Since Hill's and Spruill's contradict one of them is lying and the other is telling the truth. That means Klain is also lying. Therefore Chafee has stolen less than one book.
- Ryan Cantor

New puzzle to appear soon.

Next quiz ... Next Thursday.... Suggested Problems:

Page 450: (Section 6.6) 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,19 (Covered Wed/Fri).
Stuff on inverse trig functions to know: (Note that I have written the inverse trig functions as arcsin, etc., instead of sin^-1, which is hard to do without superscripts...)
- The derivatives of arcsin, arccos, arctan, and how to derive them Page 463: 19,21,22,24,25,26,27,30,31,32.
- Integral that you can now do -- Those involving 1/sqrt(1 - x^2) and 1/(1 + x^2), and integrals that reduce to these by substitutions. There are a bunch of these at the end of the section... Page 463 35,36,37,38,42,43,44,45,47,49/
- trig functions of inverse trig functions. Problems like cos(arcsin(4/5) = Page 463: 10,12,12,13,14,15,16,18.

First Computer Project: is here . It is a maple file. You are to do the exercies is groups of two or three, including text so that the file is readable. Also you are to contribute (as a group) a web page on the editible CoWeb about this project, or about similar problems. This will be due on or about Febuary 22. More information to come on the CoWeb section of the project.

Directions for the Computer Project:

Download the maple projet on the 1508 web page.
Work the project in groups of two or three
Hand in a printed copy of the worked project o n the Due Date.
Include in the printed version lots of English Text explaining what you are doing and why.
Create of CoWeb page detailing your group's experience, trials, tribulations, and suggestions. To do this:
- Go to the 1508 web page
- GO to the CoWeb link here.
- Go to the Math1508 Computer Project 1 link
- Edit that page by adding your group's name between #'s. Like #Maria Calas, Birgit Neilson and J. Sutherland#
- After you do that, hit save.
- The page will now have a link that looks like Maria Calas, Birgit Neilson and J. Sutherland?
- Go to this link, and your CoWewb page will be created.
- Edit there. Flat text if fine.

Your CoWeb page should contain:

A description of the problem in English
The mathods that you used to solve the problem.
Any problems (computer problems, maple problems, group problems, etc...) that you encountered in working the project.
Any useful hint you have for others.
Anything else you want to add.

The due date is Febuary 22.

Wed. Feb 3 we start work and centroids. Feb 8 we did centroids, center of mass, and started logs. On Wed 9 and Fri 11 we fishished covering sections 6.3 and 6.4, and basically covered 6.5. As of now (Friday afternoon) the quiz on Tues will cover though 6.5.
