Calc 3 Definition and 17 Discussions

The calc-alkaline magma series is one of two main subdivisions of the subalkaline magma series, the other subalkaline magma series being the tholeiitic series. A magma series is a series of compositions that describes the evolution of a mafic magma, which is high in magnesium and iron and produces basalt or gabbro, as it fractionally crystallizes to become a felsic magma, which is low in magnesium and iron and produces rhyolite or granite. Calc-alkaline rocks are rich in alkaline earths (magnesia and calcium oxide) and alkali metals and make up a major part of the crust of the continents.
The diverse rock types in the calc-alkaline series include volcanic types such as basalt, andesite, dacite, rhyolite, and also their coarser-grained intrusive equivalents (gabbro, diorite, granodiorite, and granite). They do not include silica-undersaturated, alkalic, or peralkaline rocks.

    Stuck on the integration bound

    Homework Statement Trying to help a friend with a problem. We are supposed to solve the below using polar coordinates. The actual answer is supposed to be π/16. Solving the integral is not the issue, just converting it. 2. The attempt at a solution What I got sort of worked, but it is only...

    Courses Calculus 3 -- looking for ways to help me understand

    So I am in calculus 3 this year and have passed both calc 1 and 2 with a B and C+ respectively. I could have gotten a better grade but was lazy. I was lazy by using calculators and not actually learning the arithmetic and algebra. Now one serious issue I have is Trig. I can never remember trig...

    B Proof: How to start it?

    I am having trouble with this proof. I just need a step in the right direction. Let u and v be vectors. (u+v)*(u-v)=0, then IuI=IvI I have to use properties of the dot product. I started off by combining both using this property u*(v+w)=u*v+u*w (u,v,w are vectors) I got lost in all of my...

    A shot fired from gun, elevation to hit a target 3000 feet away

    A shot fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 1200 ft per second is to hit a target 3000 feet away. Determine the minimum angle of elevation of the gun? Ok so I know that r(t)= (vcos(theta) t)i +(vsin(theta) t +16t^2)j I tried to set vcos(theta)t =3000, solve for t, and plug into the j...

    Show the gravitional field is conservative

    In my calculus textbook (section on vector calc) it is showing that the gravitational field is conservative. I followed fine except for the first part, defining the scalar function f. Showing the field is conservative went something like this: f(x,y,z) = MM'G/\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}...

    Is it a bad idea to take 19 units in 16 weeks, or delay O-Chem to next term?

    In order to transfer on time from community college and prepare for the MCAT I have to really scrunch my classes. I was planning on taking Calc 3, Liner Algebra, O Chem 1, and Physics 1 (mechanics) at a whopping total of 19 units in 16 weeks. Is this doable? I would not be working and all of my...
