Resources for Calculus Skills Problem Set:
The Calculus
Skills Problem
Set
is a set of problems designed to test your ability to carry out the
basic
computations
from Calculus accurately.
Throughout
the semester you will be tested (during quizzes and the final exam) on
algorithmically generated
versions
of these problems. You will also have designated class time each
week
to work on these problems
in a
supervised setting.
These problems
will always be
graded
with no partial credit, and will account for approximately 20 % of
the course grade. The
details of
how the skills problems will be tested and how they will contribute to
your
grade appear in the course
policies
above.
The
Calculus Skills home
page
is http://calculus.math.rpi.edu.
This page contains much important information
pertaining to the skills portion of the course,
including
rules pertaining to how the problems will be graded,
academic integrity guidelines, and Skills
Assistant
office hours. It also contains a list of all the Calculus
Skills problems and resources for practicing
different
versions of them.
MAPLE Resources:
MAPLE
Files This is a series of tutorial files explaining how
MAPLE can be used to perform different pre-Calculus
and Calculus tasks. MAPLE (or a graphing calculator) may be handy now
and
then if you need to
quickly sketch a graph or solve an equation, although neither resource
may be used on exams and
quizzes.
