MA1023 - Calculus III
Lecture Notes - D 2000




Lecture notes will be available (almost always) on the afternoon before each lecture. The notes are currently provided in post-script format. They can either be viewed using a post-script viewer or printed on a laserprinter. (Good tools for your PC are
Ghostctipt and ghostView)

While the lecture notes contain an outline of the material covered in lecture, other material is often written on them during lecture. (All of the jokes are left out.)


Slides from Lecture #1, Thursday, March 16

Topics include improper integrals and an introductin to indeterminate forms. (Special Guest Lecturer: Dr. John Goulet)

The main topic is solving things. The methods discussed are the bisection method (slow and steady), Newton's method (super fast), and the fixed point method (a miracle that it works at all.)

(Here is the Maple worksheet that used (maybe) during lecture.)

Slides from Lecture #8, Monday, April 3
