this is admittedly a lot of material, so I will try to narrow it down
for you
**Focus on the mathematical CONCEPTS and CONNECTIONS between the
material. Do not bother with physics formulas such as conservation
of energy, moment of inertia, etc. These are important applications
but not the core material of the course.
**The exam will weight Chapters 16 and 17 more heavily since they have
come after the tests. Multiple integrals as well as line and surface
integrals and the theorems of Green and Stokes will make a definite
appearance on the exam.
**In the material from the first half of the semester, issues of
differentiability in addition to the gradient and directional
derivative are especially important topics. Their uses in maximization
problems are central to the course.
**Knowing the basic quadratic surfaces will make integration problems
a lot easier to visualize and set up.
I will be available to answer questions you may have on Tuesday after
2 PM and Wednesday starting with 10 AM. Come prepared with questions.
GOOD LUCK!
