Final Exam Pickup

Hello professor Taylor,
Is there anyway I could pick up my final exam, I would like to see which ones I got wrong. 

Thank you.

***************

No.  In fact I'm required to keep them for seven years.  But you can look at it, and if you like we can make a copy for you.

13.7 #6

Hi, Dr. Taylor. I keep completing this problem and I get the same answer
(-8pi) regardless of the method I use to solve for the flux. I also tried
using the divergence theorem, but I receive a different (incorrect) answer.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.








*********************
well, you haven't told me what you have done, but I surmise a couple of mistakes: the first is that your normal vector ∂r/∂t x ∂r/∂s is in the opposite of the positive y-direction, while for the second you either made an algebraic mistake computing the cross product or you made an integration error equivalent to ∫ xdx = 2x^2 + C
(the divergence theorem doesn't apply to this problem)

Clearing Up the Confusion (Extra Credit Assignment)

Dr. Taylor,

I have attached my electronic copy of the extra credit to this email, however, I also have questions about the physical copy. Your initial blog post says we should put it in your mailbox at the School of Mathematics building, but in person you told us the PSA building. Then, on your blog you said to just submit it electronically. Which of these 3 answers should we follow? Thanks for the help.

Hi professor, I am ******* from ur cal 3 MWF :8:35 AM class. I just want to confirm the mail box place. I understand ur office is at GWC 356, but i am not sure where can i find the mail box for that.
PS : Is it necessary turn in the hard copy? it is kind of a pain XD.
Thank you!

extra credit electronic submission

Hi Professor,

You said you wanted the extra credit paper turned in online and to your mailbox, right? Where is your mailbox in the school of mathematics? And do you want the electronic copy submitted through Blackboard?

Thanks,

Just email it to me, please.  Do this: from whatever software you wrote it in, under the "File" menu, click "Save as",  then click "Text". Then attach your text file to your email
