2 Welcome to the course! Meetings and communication: AC meetings
AC Class meetings Thursday, 3:45-5:00 pm PT AC Office hours Monday, 3:30-4:30 pm PT Any time

3 Introduction (mine): MS Applied Math (Moscow State University, Russia) 1993 PhD Mathematics, MS Computer Science (Emory University, Atlanta) 2000 Taught Mathematics and Statistics in community colleges (Ohlone, DVC) Tutored various EPGY courses since 2011 Last three years: teaching university-level math courses at SPCS

4 Introduction (yours):
Name Your grade level at school (in the pod) Where do you live? (on the map) Answer a question: if you happen to have few hours of free time, what would you do? (in the pod)

5 Pass/Fail could use parent proctoring
Assessments: Two exams (midterm and final). No other assignments are to be submitted. Proctoring: Pass/Fail could use parent proctoring Letter Grade independent proctoring ( a teacher/counselor at school etc.) you receive a letter grade only when both exams are independently proctored you may switch a “letter grade” to a “non-letter grade” Proctor registration: you will register your proctor through the website (information will be provided) proctor will download/upload the exam through the proctor’s page Grading: The grading scale is: A: 86-100 A-: 83-85 B+: 80-82 B: 76-79 B-: 73-75 C+: 70-72 C: 65-69 C-: 60-64 NP: <60 The Pass/Fail scale: CR: 60-100 NP: <60 The course grade is the average of scores obtained on two exams.

6 What should you be ready for?
To do a lot of independent work from the start! To allocate several hours per week for studying What should you expect? My prompt response to your messages on any issues (administrative or subject-related). My extensive feedback to your exam solutions. What should I expect from you? Your desire to learn and advance! Communicating with me for help when needed! I ask to be specific in your - indicate your course and your full name (and preferred name if there is one) - if asking about a problem from the textbook or a lecture, include the image of the problem or retype it

7 Weekly work: Listen to the lectures (see shared screen) lagunita.stanford.edu Read corresponding sections of the textbook “Calculus” (Anton, Bivens, Davis; Edition 6, 7, 8 or 9) See Course Schedule for reading assignments Do online exercises course lectures and pdf file from Downloads Do offline exercises (including textbook exercises) download the assignments from Downloads

8 Downloads: True-False and Textbook exercises

10 By the end of Week 1: You would learn how to plot equations in 2 variables in 3-space and how to describe and manipulate with vectors. These are just few examples: Plot f(x,y)=0 in 3-space. Describe vectors using coordinates Find the norm of the vector Add vectors and solve problems involving vector addition

11 Rectangular coordinate system in 3-space:
Coordinate planes; octants; coordinates

12 The distance formula. Equation of the sphere.
The distance formula in 3-space: The standard equation of the sphere: k > 0 k = 0 k < 0

14 Cylindrical surfaces; graphing equations in 2 variables in 3-space
extrusion
