Other Useful Links (Calculus)

• graphing polar equations
• Famous Curves and animated demonstrations (ever get Freeth’s Nephroid in your Conchoid of de Sluze?)
• working with vectors
• cross products of vectors in 3-space (occasionally crashes my browser, but worth it)
• cylindrical coordinates
• spherical coordinates
• the tangent, normal, and binormal to a curve
• a free program for graphing 2d and 3d functions
• velocity and acceleration vectors (animated .gif)
• animations of a hyperboloid of one sheet, a hyperboloid of two sheets, and a hyperbolic paraboloid (saddle)
• static images of the surfaces I put on the projector on 2/23 : saddle, 1-sheet hyperboloid, spiky thing, and monkey saddle (see your text for others)
• a huge number of animated surfaces
• (local) animation of level curves on a saddle
• what tangent planes have to do with traces
• fantastic applet showing tangent planes on a surface (and you can change the surfance, and move them around!)
• pretty good 3-d graphing calculator (you can move things around — they may look a little strange due to the small domain.)
• directional derivatives animation (.mov file)
• illustration of constrained optimization (.mov file)
• Riemann sums converging to volume (.mov file)
• min/max animations
• the tangent parallelograms for computing surface area
• another one you can move around
• a paraboloid to play with
• some worked examples of triple integrals
• more worked examples

Other Useful Links (Misc.)

• Mathematician of the Day
• the most common errors in undergraduate math (I don’t agree with all of this, but it’s interesting.)
• Paul Dawkins’ notes on How to Study Math, including Studying For Exams, Taking Exams, and Learning From Your Errors.
• Why not try an evil limit?
