Computer labs and workshops.
There are 5 Labs in all. The first 2 were turned in before spring break. The third was submitted electronically on 3/23/30. Lab 4 will be due the date of lecture 24, Lab 5 due the date of lecture 27. They will be submitted as assignments in the Canvas site MULTIVARIABLE CALC 01:640:251:08,09,10

Quadratic surfaces
The syllabus omits section 12.6, A Survey of Quadratic Surfaces. The ideas concerning quadratic surfaces are actually addressed in the third Maple lab, and certainly some knowledge of quadratic surfaces is useful when considering the graphs of functions of several variables and studying critical points. Although this section is formally omitted, appropriate examples and terminology should be introduced early in the course.
