new problem collections
calculus ii problem collection. a new "calculus ii" problem collection of 10 problems is now available to authorized instructors.
intended for use in calculus ii courses and courses that require corequisite knowledge of concepts taught in calculus ii.
the problems use matlab to enhance conceptual and practical understanding of the use of calculus to solve engineering and scientific problems by focusing on visualization, manipulation, and algorithms.
concepts covered: applications of integration, techniques of integration, sequences and series, and parametric and polar coordinates.
prerequisites:
problems assume prerequisite mathematics knowledge up to and including calculus i.
beginner-level programming experience is recommended, which can be achieved by taking the matlab onramp or an introduction to programming course.
certain problems use symbolic math toolbox™. consider supplementing them with problems from the symbolic math toolbox collection to assess learner proficiency.
numerical methods problem collection. a new "numerical methods" problem collection of 10 problems is now available to authorized instructors.
intended for use in numerical methods and analysis courses. the problems can also be used in courses that require corequisite knowledge of numerical methods.
concepts covered: modeling, computers and error analysis, equation solving, linear algebraic functions, curve fitting/approximation, numerical quadrature, numerical differentiation, and ordinary differential equations.
prerequisites:
problems assume prerequisite knowledge of calculus, linear algebra and differential equations.
