• Syllabus

The department Calculus page is at http://orion.math.iastate.edu/calculus/. There are finals from previous semesters there.

The math help room is located in 385 Carver. The hours are listed on the website: http://orion.math.iastate.edu/dept/HelpRoom.html

I will be using some or all of the following software packages. You can get Matlab for free from the university and you can get Sage free on the internet.

• Matlab: For instructions to install your free student copy, go to http://www.it.iastate.edu/matlab/student/
• Octave: Open-source free software that is an alternative to Matlab. The homepage is http://www.octave.org and you can download versions for Windows at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/octave/octave-3.0.0-setup.exe or Mac at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/octave/octave-3.0.0-i386.dmg (intel) or http://downloads.sourceforge.net/octave/octave-3.0.0-ppc.dmg (powerpc). Linux versions can be obtained from the homepage or from your linux distribution.
• Sage: Open-source free math software that is aiming to replace several different leading math packages. You can download this from http://www.sagemath.org
• Mathematica: Commercial math software from http://www.wolfram.com. This costs about $150 for a student license, I believe. It's some pretty amazing software.
