Maple or Other Computer Software
Maple discussions should be determined by each instructor. Each student shoud master the following topics: (1) graphing in polar coordinates, (2) graphing parametric equations, (3) three dimensional graphs in rectangular, cylindrical, and sphyerical coordinates, (4) graphing spacecurves, (5) partial derivatives, and (6) multiple integration.
