Office hours are a time for you to talk to me about the class or anything.are usually in my office, AMB 110.
Occasionally I will be down the hall in the MAP room (AMB 137).
If I am not at my office during office hours, look for me there.
My office is AMB 110 (downstairs in the North-East corner, behind the Math office.)
My office hours start right after my next class is over, upstairs in AMB 205. every day. You can come to that classroom if you want. After a few minutes I will walk down to my office.
I am available for you at these times:
Monday 12:20-1:00
Tuesday 12:20-12:45
Wednesday 12:20-3:00
Friday 12:20-1:30
You can always send me e-mail, drop in, or make an appointment if these times aren't convenient.
Recommended text:
Paul Dawkins' Calc 3 Notes.
Paul's notes on Vectors are at the end of his Calc 2 notes.
Other free online textbooks are
Calculus: early transcendentals from Whitman College,
and
OpenStax Calc 3.
For a paper textbook, I recommend Calculus Early Transcendentals, 3rd Edition, by Rogawski and Adams. The numbering in the WeBWorK problems is from this book. You might be able to buy a used copy online for less than $15, since this is not the latest edition.
Here is an Introduction to WeBWorK.
You probably won't need this if you have used WeBWorK in a previous class.
NOTE: You login name is your LOUIE account (e.g. jws8).
Your password is same one you always use with this login name.
For 2-D plotting, I like Desmos Graphing Calculator.
Here is a link to CalcPlot3D.
Mathematica is available at the CEFNS computer labs on north campus, and at open
labs in the Geology, Math, Chemistry, and SLF buildings. (But the Engineering School does not really embrace Mathematica much.) It is also available on the NAU Microsoft Virtual Desktop http://apps.nau.edu.
You can even get a copy installed on your machine. See Mathematica Licenses for Students.
General information is available at the ITS article: Mathematica at NAU.
This is a great webcast introducing you to
Mathematica.
You can get extra credit for our course from points earned in the Problem of the Week. The problems are due on Mondays at 11:59 pm, uploaded to the site listed at that page. The submissions are scored on a scale of 1 to 4 points, and I will halve your score and count that as extra credit class points.
FAMUS (Friday Afternoon Undergraduate Math Seminar): Fridays at 3 pm in AMB 164.
NAU offers free help in this class through the Math Achievement Program and the Academic Success Center.
