Math 221

1. Total derivatives and extrema: Find the total derivative for a scalar function of three variables. Find the total second derivative (a definition is provided). Find and classify all critical points (an extended second derivative test is provided).
2. Change of variables: Study the area of an ellipse which we worked in class. This is an extended problem, but is worked much the same way. Evaluate a triple integral to find the volume where you need to change variables. This is like the problems where you took the sides of a region, let your u and v be those - except this is a triple integral so it won't be sides of regions, it will be planes which are edges of the solid.
3. Minimization / Maximization: Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find a minimum or maximum value. Concentrate on the production problems from economics. Find the least squares regression line for a set of data.
4. Quadric Surfaces: Identify and sketch six quadric surfaces. Part seven is to summarize the things that you're looking for when identifying the surfaces. A sentence is began and you have to finish it with the type of surface.
5. Center of Mass / Moments of Inertia: Find the center of mass of an solid with the given density. Find the moment of inertia and the radius of gyration about an axis for a different solid.
6. Differential Equations: Solve two non-homogeneous second order linear differential equations. One can be done by undetermined coefficients, the other must be done by variation of parameters.
7. Parametric Surfaces: Find a vector valued function whose graph is the surface described. Find the area of a surface over the specified region. Find the equation of the tangent plane to the surface.
