Course web page for M247, Honors Calculus 3, Spring 2009

Time and Location: MWF 9:05-9:55, T 8:10-9:25 in HSS 215
We will begin by using the full 75 minutes on Tuesdays instead of 50 minutes. This will collect an `overtime account'. The week from Feb 9-13, I'll be out of town, and there will be either no class that week or possibly an exam on Monday, and we'll be using this gathered overtime as a make-up. As it takes 8 `long' Tuesdays to make up for a 200 min week, we'll determine the policy for the remaining Tuesdays later. Textbook? You are not required to buy a textbook for this course, but I am aware that many students will find it convenient to have a textbook. You have some choices here (and can in particular shop for cheap older editions), and here are some hints to guide your choice. You also have the option of postponing any book purchase into the first weeks of the semester.

For graphing in polar coordinates, you may want to print out this sheet of polar coordinate paper (pdf) (you do need a ruler, though) --- same in PostScript

For precise graphics in cartesian coordinates, you find here files that print a decimal grid on a sheet of paper, with the small square 1mm, 2mm or 3mm sidelength. I tested the postscript version of the files on one laser printer. The quality of the actual outcome may be hardware dependent.
