Watch Grady Wright's numerical simulation of flow in the Earth's mantle. We want to develop calculus in multidimensions so we can do this.
Monday: Here's some algebraic detail omitted from one of the proofs: m253_cross_prod_proof.m.
Wednesday: demo of parameterized line.
Friday: motivation for what we can do once we understand multivariable calculus: xmorphia.
Monday: m253_demo_wk3_hyperbolic_paraboloid.m. Also, see this online demo.
Wednesday: m253_demo_wk3_isosurfaces.m.
Friday: m253_demo_wk3_nolimit.m (example from lecture where limit does not exist at origin.
Friday: Wave equation example: m253_demo_wk4_wave_eqn.m. Damped plucked string example: m253_demo_wk4_wave_eqn2.m.
Friday: m253_demo_critical_pts.m.
Monday: I suggest working through the calculations for this Lagrange multiplier demo from class.
