I am just wondering if the final would be accumulative.
Once the triple integral is set up, they’re not too bad
It is easy to get a little mixed up while setting up the integrals, but once that is done the problems are not too difficult to complete.
Once the integrals are were set up I didn’t hav any problems. But figuring them out off the bat was difficult.
Straightforward… Hwk wasn’t bad at all.
Homework wasn’t too problematic.
I made a mistake on one of the integrals in number 2, but since each integral yields the same number, I was able to catch and fix my error. No other problems with the homework.
I still find it interesting that the integrals in any order will yield the same result.
The homework was straightforward, albeit sometimes time-consuming.
If we have an extra day I noticed the book had 2nd order linear differentiation. We touch on this in econometrics and in differential but it might not hurt to be introduced to it.
Fine for Homework.
