Cal III (Winter 2014)

Marks

Cal III Marks
The final marks are finally posted and have been submitted to the college.
Congratulations to all: you managed to survive the course(!) in spite of some disappointing exam marks (the tight gap between classes and the exam took its toll, sadly.).
But you were a good bunch this term. Have a good and well-earned vacation, and good luck with your future studies.

To let you review your work on this assignment (as preparation for the test) I am posting the answers - however, if you intend to hand in work for marks, be sure you don't just copy my answers, but show your own work.
Do the problems yourself first, check your work against these answers, and then try again, without copying my answers. Make sure you understand things well enough to be able to do the work on your own (eg on the test!).
I will post more complete solutions later.

Entertainments

FLATLAND - A Romance of many dimensions
A novel dealing with the question of whether the fourth dimension can exist, and how we might seek to perceive it (based on the analogy of a 2D being trying to imagine a 3D world). Lots of fun, even if it was written long ago.
[The original site for this novel was here.]

Some Notes on the Fourth Dimension [Another helpful page in visualizing 4D]
[This Union College teacher's Home Page has a lot of good stuff on it. Including tips for studying, mathematical art, movies for maths (including one on hyperboloids, as well as the 4D stuff), geometry and web math projects, and advice for life.]
