Math 241   Fall 2024

Review   Helpful Review/Preparation for MML HW 00.1-00.6.   most items (many are links) will not be distributed in class

• Unit Circle
• Integration Basics  This blue sheet is distributed in class and recalls Calc. I & II integration basics.
• Solving system of linear equations   (LibreTexts link)
• Finding the determinate of a 2x2 or 3x3 matrix.  (needed in §12.4)
  • Prof. G.'s explanation, with a color-coded example  (source: textbook's appendix B.1)
  • video by "patrickJMT"  (Finding the Determinant of a 3 x 3 Matrix)
  • video by "Professor Dave Explains"  first 4.5 minutes  (Evaluating the Determinant of a Matrix)
• Math 142 finishes with (2 Dimensional)
  • Parametric Curves, along with corresponding tangent lines and arc length (§11.1-11.2)
  • Polar Coordinates, along with corresponding area and arc length (§11.3, 11.5).
  Math 241 will generalize these Math 142 Ch 11 concepts from 2D to 3D.
  
  1. Important for Ch 12 in Math 241 are §11.1-11.2. Review your Math 142 class notes. See the following items.
     • in 2D: §11.1-11.2 Prof. G's Lecture Notes  Parametric Curves/Tangent lines & Arc Length
     • in 2D: §11.1-11.2 Prof. G's Handout - Parametization: Definitions and Calculus   [soln]
     • in 2D: §11.1-11.2 Schaum's Outline: Calculus. Ch 37:   Parameterized curves in 2D: 1st&2nd derivative, tangent line, arc length.
  2. Important for Ch 15 in Math 241 are §11.3, 11.5. Review your Math 142 class notes. See the following items.
     • Warning! The below items also cover §11.4 (graphing/sketching polar equations, e.g. r= cosθ). But §11.4 is no longer covered. So ignore items about graphing equations in polar coordinates (but still do the area and arc length parts).
     • in 2D: §11.2-11.5 Prof. G's Handout - Parametric Curves and Polar Coordinates Basics   [soln]
     • in 2D: §11.3-11.5 Prof G's Handout - Polar Coordinates
     • in 2D: §11.3-11.5 Prof G's Lecture Notes   Polar Coords with Area & Arc Length
