- Feb 26th Download the Lagrange Multiplier problem I did in class today in [ps] or [pdf] format.
- Feb 26th I renewed the pdf file form the previous announcement, though doubt that it will solve the problems some students had with the previous version, as it turned out to be the version I always use.
- Feb 16th Download two examples for section 3.3 in [ps] or [pdf] format. Note that example 2 is the one I started talking about at the end of today's lecture. Material for example one has not been covered fully yet, so you might want to wait until after next Wednesday studying this problem.
- Feb 9th To see the picture I used in class today to find the directional derivative go here.
- Feb 2nd The curve for exams, homework and
final grade is:
In this class ROUGHLY the top 25% of students get an A, the next 35% a B, the next 30% a C, the next 5% a D and the remaining 5% an F. This does not include the +- scale yet, which exists.
You can look up your grades on your my.ucla page. There should be a link called 'class grades'. Once you see your score, you can click on that, to see the statistics for it as well as your placement in the class. For example:
Your Class Rank for this item: 103 / 129
which puts you in the 80% tile of the class, which would translate into a C ROUGHLY. - Feb 2nd The scores for midterm one are available in the gradebook. The solutions for midterm one can be downloaded from the exams page.

- Jan 20th The book I mentioned in class is the following: "Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions", by Edwin A. Abbott. I found several pretty cheap copies on bibliofind.
- Jan 17th Note that the book uses a different way to denote the determinant of a matrix: I used the vertical bars in class, whereas the book uses "det" instead. I.e. if A is a matrix then det(A) means exactly the same as |A|.
