Class Meetings: Class meetings consist of three 65-minute lectures. The lectures introduce new material and provide the course structure. A special help-session has been arranged for Tuesday, September 29. The session lasts less than one hour, and will be given twice, first from 4:00 to 5:00 pm and then again from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, both in Filene Auditorium. The purpose of these sessions is to demonstrate the procedures for putting Maple, a computer algebra system (CAS), on your computer.You are free to attend the session that is the most convenient for you, but you need only go if you have not been able to get Maple up and running on your machine. We will be using Maplethroughout Math 3 as an important calculus tool. You should follow the installation instructions that you receive on the first day of class. Try them over the weekend. Only if you have problems should you attend the special session, taking with you a description of what went wrong. Gottfried Leibniz, one of the cofounders of calculus, was also one of the first people to recognize the importance of mechanical computing devices. He invented the so- called Leibniz wheeland used it to build a calculating machine in the 1670's that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide. As he wrote: And now that we may give final praise to the machine we may say that it will be desirable to all who are engaged in computations... For it is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of computation. Technology has come a long way since the seventeenth century, but Leibniz's words still ring true. We have been using Mapleextensively, and have found it to be an excellent tool for doing calculus. After the special help-session on installing it, routine questions about Maple will be handled in class or in the tutorial sessions described below.
