Bump this up. I'd like to get some design books as well. Anybody?

I'll check, but I'm 99% sure that there is no Linear Algebra course. Keep in mind that this is just a local community college. I would say that less than 5% of people that are enrolled will do anything beyond College Algebra. Most people go to earn an Associate's Degree and are done. There are...

Yes, the Calc III is multivariable. Unfortunately the school I am currently attending doesn't have a linear algebra course. Thanks for the reassurance, guys :cool: Jimmy

I checked my school's website, and according to the Differential Equations syllabus, Calc III is a pre-req. However, like I said before, I've only known a couple people who have taken Diff. Equations, all of whom were taking Calc III coincidally. I will see how I end up doing in Calc II...

Hey everybody. I hope I posted this in the right section; it was either here or in Diff. Equations.. Anyway, here's the deal: I'm currently a sophomore at a community college, planning to transfer to a University in Fall of 2009 to finish my BS. By the end of next semester (Spring '08), I...

kts123, Although this method you came up with proved to be ineffective, don't let everybody telling you you're wrong discourage you. By defenition of psychology, intelligence is "the ability to think abstractly"..paraphrased. In other words, it is that kind of thinking that leads to great...

Alright, I finally figured it out. Now I feel like an idiot. Thanks for the Tex code.

I have posted a problem from my book below. I am having trouble with a homework problem similar to this one and can't, for the life of me, figure it out. The back of the book says the ansewer to this problem is 4/3. I can't figure how they're getting that. I've tried everything I can think of...

Thanks to all of you for your input. The semester is over in less than a month, and we're on our last chapter right now. Luckily, I found out that the instructor curves final grades. He said that my test and homework grades were pretty consistent with everyone else's, so I might have a chance at...

I was just wondering what grade people here passed their first university calculus class with..I guess I posted this in the right section.. I have had some things going on at home and haven't been able to make it to my morning Calc I class for about 2.5 weeks. I've been taking my own notes...

Thanks everybody. It did turn out to be ~1.38... Not sure what I was doing wrong before, but oh well. I guess I will just have to be more careful when test day comes. thanks again.

Homework Statement Find x(sub3) when x(sub1) is 3 and x^3+3x-5 = 0 Give your answer to 4 correct decimal places. Homework Equations Mean Value Theoren Equation with Newton's Method. x(sub n+1) = x(sub n) - [(f(x)/f'(x)] The Attempt at a Solution Okay, so we have to find...

I figured out how to do these problems. Thanks to EngageEngage for help.

Oh! Look at your first repsonse, and look at the Maple code: the denominators are different. I tried it with 4x^2 instead of 2x^2 and it accepted it. Thanks!

I'm answering the questions on WebAssign.net. I tried it again, twice, and it's still not accepting it :(
