The first six assignments are due on November 14, 2022. Each problem is equally weighted (1 point per problem is a perfect score). These assignments need to be completed by their due date. These assignments need to be completed by their due date, and they can be access through assignments on Canvas.

Labs

Provides instruction on use of software MATLAB and Desmos for Calculus applications. Topics include level curves of quadratic surfaces, critical point analysis and Riemann sums for volume estimation.

Students registered to labs (M or T) receive synchronous instruction in the first week introducing the topic and software commands required to execute the scheduled labs. Asynchronous videos assist the student through a systematic process leading to understanding of graphing, algebraic, and Calculus commands. In the next week, lab instructors offer office hours for questions and a team assignment is due that Wednesday by noon.

Labs begin on weeks of October 31, November 14, and November 28. Lab due dates are on November 9, November 22, and December 12
