Quote of the day: Knowledge is knowing the tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in your fruit salad.
Today’s topics:
- The method of Lagrange multipliers
- The definition of volume under a surface over a rectangle
- Riemann sums for functions of two variables
- How to compute volumes
Homework:
- 15.8 – 6 (you will get one point from the Lagrange multiplier method—is it a max or a min? Why?), 7, 8, 11, 25, 28
- 16.1 – 1, 2
Read for next class:
- 16.2

I didn’t have much trouble with the homework.
The homework wasn’t too difficult.
I had no major problems in regards to the homework
For number 28 I hot an absolutely terrible vector and then I remembered that you taught us a trick for it. Thanks for making my life a lot easier.
HW was fine.
HW is fine.
I had no major problems with the homework. The work is tedious but all the steps follow logically.
Lagrange multiplier problems are tedious, but at least they make sense.
The problems take a longer time to complete, however there were no major problems.
The homework was tedious but doable
I liked the quote. Knowing is Knowledge. Good use of knowledge is wisdom.
I liked the quote. Knowing is knowledge while good use of knowledge is wisdom.
Homework seems fine, a lot of work but not too hard
No real problems with the homework. Just lots of tediousness.
HW is fine~~~
