NOTE: in response to student requests,  from now on I'll include a related section of Stewart 
for each topic (when there is one). I am not following Stewart,- what is found in that book may be only
distantly  related to what was done in lecture, and, of course,  the lectures take precedence (i.e, HW and
tests are based on the lectures, and whether or not the material is similar (or even related) to what is found in Stewart is irrelevant.)
This reference is meant mainly as a source of additional problems, for those who want some.
