Before you can open the Mathematica notebooks below, you must have Mathematica installed on your computer (preferred) or opened an online Mathematica account:
Section 12.6: Quadratic Surfaces
Section 13.1: Example 1 (Helix), Example 2 (Trefoil), Example 3 (Plane meets Cylinder)
Section 13.3: Arc Length
Section 14.1: Level Sets
Section 14.3: An example of a non-continuous function with existing partial derivatives.
Section 14.7: Problem 9
Section 14.8: Lagrange Multipliers
The computers in RB 452 are set up and ready for you to use.
Ball State students can also download and install a free student version of Mathematica on their own computers. The above notebooks should then be downloaded (right-click and save) before opening.
In addition, Ball State students have access to the online version of Mathematica, upon creating a Wolfram ID. The online version can be accessed through any web browser as well as the Woflram Cloud app on any smartphone or tablet.
