Notes:

  • There will be two hour quizzes to be distributed at the beginning of the given lab period and collected at the end of the lab period.  You can use the textbook, your notes, the computer, Maple, or any other inanimate source to answer the questions but have to complete it individually. The questions will be related to the concepts and techniques addressed in previous labs.
  • There will a project with related questions that can be answered with the skills and knowledge learned in the labs and lectures for this course. A project report will generally be due at the beginning of the next lab period.
  • Tools and Help can be accessed from the respective menus on the Maple 2016 graphical user interface. Tutors marked with [PreC] are found under the PreCalculus submenu from Tools; those marked with [C-SV] and [C-MV] can be found under the Calculus - Single Variable and Calculus - Multiple Variable submenus from Tools, respectively.
