Observation 4 - Quiz + Starting Partial Derivatives
- Did the quiz for the first 8 or so mins...
Reminders
- Read 14.4 by Tuesday
More Practice on Contour Diagrams
- Noted to try out Problems 14.1.61-66 in the textbook...
- Plus having them differentiate the different 12.6 objects.
- Also does 14.32, he's just giving some tidbits he found on those problems from office hours.
Types of Surfaces
- Graph of
- Quadric Surfaces (12.6)
- Level Surfaces:
. - They really struggled with this one!!!
They should know that if a variable is not used (ie:
They did an example of
Actually Starting Partial Derivatives
Showed them most of the definitions of Partial Derivatives. Did the example:
$f(x,y) = (x+y)^2
- Compute
- Make contour diagram
- Use contour diagram to guess
and ) if .
Which they did (Brussel did).
