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 Thursday, September 23. 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 Bradley 101 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 Maple
throughout Math 3 as an important calculus tool. You should follow the installation instructions
that you receive on the first day of class. Try them after class. 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.

Required Work:
1.Examinations:
There will be two hour-exams and a (two-hour) final examination. The final exam is

scheduled by the Registrar’s office. The two hour-exams are scheduled as follows:
