Processing math: 100%

Today was our last day of talking about only curves as a class. We discussed how integration (like when computing arclength) really is a difficult problem, and we have made up names of functions to describe some integrals that we understand. Names like lnx, sinx, and ex. Many of you ran across “elliptic integrals” and these are similar, but of the next level of complextity.

I still have three exam rewrites that were not turned in. I want those ASAP.


We will start talking about surfaces next time. Please read section 2.1 of Shifrin and sections 2-1 through 2-2 of Struik, and start the exercises in Shifrin section 2.1. You will begin presenting those next meeting.
