Mth 355 Documents

Last updated January 22, 2005

This page lists old tests, notes, Maple worksheets, sample problems, etc., for Mth 355. You may find this material useful for studying. Expect some overlaps in the various files. Eventually very old files will dribble off the bottom.

Many of the documents are in Portable Document Format (PDF) or are Maple worksheets (MWS). PDF files are "Portable Document Files." You can use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, available at http://www.adobe.com, to view or print PDF files. The Acrobat Reader plug-in is installed in the browser(s) on many campus computers. There are many other software packages for reading PDF files. Maple Worksheets require Maple to be useful.

2003 Winter Mth 355 (399) Assignment 9. Pedagogical stuff - the Maple student package
MWS, 27 KB, 2 problems, Maple Worksheet
The student package provides double and triple integrals, change of variables in integrals, trapezoidal and Simpson's numeric quadrature rules, and some other goodies. Some things are not fully implemented - for example if we change variables in a multiple integral we have to compute the limits of integration separately. As another example, in the trapezoid rule and in Simpson's rule we can not specify the number of subintervals except in the most primitive way. Maple explains these short-comings by stating, "The student package is a collection of routines designed to carry out step-by-step solutions to problems. " In other words, the purpose of the student package is pedagogical.
