CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS: [date posted]

• Looking for something that used to be here? Check the Announcement Archive.

• Warning: Math department servers occasionally go down for a few hours. Don't wait for the last minute to look up information you need.
• [10/14] Some review recommendations and additional practice problems on various topics:
  Equations and graphs for common curved surfaces: chart on p. 808.
  Reviewing vector algebra: §12.4, read pp. 789-791, and #27, 33, 35, p. 793.
  Spherical coordinates: §15.8, p. 1010, #3,7,9,13.
• [10/25] More review suggestions: If you need to review equations of planes, see pp. 797-798, and try problems 25, 27, & 33 on p. 802.
• [10/26] HW 4, due 11/2, now on WebAssign; also quiz that day on §§16.6-16.7.
• [11/2] Information about and tickets for Dec. 1-3 performances of "Truth Values, One Girl's Romp Through M.I.T.'s Male Math Maze." Reviews of this one-woman show about math grad school and being a woman in math say it's hilarious but also serious, intellectual and also enertaining.
• [11/29] Makeup for Midterm 2. Note one change from makeup for midterm 1: you can't do a makeup for a problem on which you missed only one or two points.
