resources
Here are some resources for the class. If you find something that's useful to you, please let me know and I'll add it here.
texts
A secondary text is Stewart's Calculus, which comes in various editions. It's also sometimes split into volumes; Volume 2 is the one that corresponds with the material we'll be covering. A copy will be on reserve on the library and also the super-secret Science reserve shelf.
You also won't go far wrong if you pick up and standard-looking Big Book of Calculus. Check out the relevant library shelf or come and see me in my office if you want to borrow one. This can be occasionally useful for additional examples or a slightly different take on the material.
websites
- Wolfram Alpha can do a whole of lot mathematical calculations, including differentiating, integrating and other ones we'll be particularly interested in. Computer software won't be a central consideration in the class, but this might be a good way to check your answers from time to time.
- Khan Academy is popular and has a lot of information. In my experience (which is possibly out of date) it's a lot better at providing help with the mechanical computations than the conceptual side.
