Another storm on the way

 

The weather on Sunday is looking very iffy, so I’m changing my office hours.  Sorry for all the crazy confusion.  I’ll be in our classroom from 11 until 1 on Saturday instead of Sunday.  I haven’t reserved our classroom, so it may not be available.  In that case, I’ll put a sign on the door telling you where I am.  There are additional reviews on Saturday from 1 until 9 pm.  Information is below.  On Sunday I will be available by email most of the day, so feel free to email questions to me and I will respond as soon as I get them.

 

Snow Day!

 

Unfortunately, we missed our last class because of the snow storm.  We would have done a few more examples of Green’s Theorem and begun review today.  I recommend you look at examples 2 and 4 in section 16.4 of the book and try the problems listed on the homework page.  Also try some problems from 16.3, finding potential functions and using them to evaluate line integrals.
