ow to use this book This book contains valuable information about the course you are taking (and possibly about the next course you will take), and about Maple and how to find it and how to use it. The book also contains many calculus problems which you will be assigned-- some are to be done using Maple, and others are to be worked out by hand.

Specifically, in this book you will find: 1. General information about how calculus courses are organized at Penn, and ways you can get assistance with math -- these range from using your instructors office hours to taking advantage of help sessions in the residence halls. 2. Information about where to find Maple in computer labs on campus, and about electronic means of getting help with calculus and Maple 3. The syllabus for your course, including a list of \"core problems\" from the textbook. These problems form the basis of your study of calculus this semester. Your instructor will assign them in addition to other problems from the text, problems from this book, and problems from other sources. 4. An annotated list of Maple demonstrations for your course. Some of these demonstrations will be used in class. You may download any of the demonstrations for examples of Maple used to solve Calculus problems, and occasionally as templates for solving problems. 5. Instructions for your first Maple session -- In the Fall Semester, EVERYONE is REQUIRED to attend an introductory Maple session during the first week of class -- YOU MUST BRING THIS BOOK WITH YOU so you have the instructions for this session.
