Course Information
Introduction
This is the third
calculus course for students of engineering, mathematics, science and
other areas of study that require a strong mathematical background. In
MTH 243 we will cover coordinates for space vector geometry, partial
derivatives,
directional derivatives, extrema, and multiple integrals.
How
to Succeed in MTH 243 - Summer session
The goals are to have you develop symbol manipulation skills, mathematical modelling skills, skills in the use of technology to treat mathematical problems that involve the concepts of vector geometry, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, extrema, and multiple integrals. an understanding of the language of calculus, and an appreciation for the uses of calculus in the sciences.

Maple Information
We will use the
software Maple in this course. The Maple software is available in most
computer
labs at both URI Maple is a powerful computer algebra system
that can perform the most complicated calculations and draw spectacular
graphics at the touch of the button. Knowledge of software like Maple
should help you in your future professional career as well as in
understanding
material in calculus.
Our work with Maple will be organized into Maple Worksheets. You will be able to download the worksheets from this web page at any of the URI computer labs or to your home computer if you have a personal copy of Maple. Student Edition of Maple is readily available at bookstores and over the Internet. The student edition is reasonably priced and you may choose to purchase it for your convenience. .
There will be help with Maple available
at one of the URI computer labs. The hours and names of people who will
be helping you will be posted on this page as soon as they are
scheduled.
There is a system that will allow you to submit your Maple
homework
electronically.
