Multivariable Calculus

TL;DR:

I’ve uploaded the notes I took for MA 36200, Topics in Vector Calculus, to the course notes page.
- These were, unlike all the other notes I host, not written as I went to class, so they’re not really lecture notes.
The notes work as an acceptable in-between an actual textbook and actual lecture notes, but I warn that since they weren’t written as I went to class, you should ensure you’re looking at the right content.
Other resources I think people should look at when doing multivariable calculus:

The rest of this post is going to talk about my experience taking MA 36200, and how I ended up producing the notes.

MA 35100 Course Notes

I have just uploaded by MA 35100 course notes to the handouts page. Contrary to the page name, this is not a handout (and not something I would physically hand out, ever). These are not polished or edited; I welcome any and all suggestions and corrections. As a credibility statement, I finished the course with an A+.

25 pages are handwritten and makes the document quite large. I apologize.

As a note to those reading these notes that are taking MA 26500, this does not cover all topics in the MA265 curriculum (orthogonal bases). There’s also more proofs than the MA265 curriculum as well.

A Disgusting Function

I have a few friends in the engineering program at Purdue. They have to take a class called CS159, which formally teaches them the programming language C, presumably with its applications to engineering. I don’t really know the details, as I neither am in their program nor the class.

They had an assignment that revolves around a user selecting between three given formulas, inputting an argument and receiving the computed value. The catch? If-statements are entirely illegal. The majority of C is similarly off limits.
