Announcements:

• Introductory quiz "Quiz1" is available on Brightspace and is due Sept 9th.
• We will be using the WeBWorK assignment system for homework which is at https://webwork.ccny.cuny.edu/webwork2/25_Fa213_KL part of the CCNY WeBWorK system To log in there, use your CCNY account information (what you would use to connect to the wireless network or the CCNY email student email system) without the @citymail.cuny.edu, same password. There are already a few assignments posted there so you check make sure that you can log in and begin to familiarize yourself with the system. If you are not able to connect to the system, you may need to visit the CCNY Helpdesk and reset your password there. Note: to login to the WeBWorK system, use just the username part of your login, and not the @citymail.cuny.edu part.
• Students enrolled in the course as of August should have received a 213 welcome email. Please check your registration and email settings if you believe you are enrolled in the course but have not gotten such an email.
• First lecture is Tuesday, Aug 26th, in NAC 1/203, which is toward the left (southeast) after entering the main entrance near the flagpoles on the NAC Plaza from Convent Ave.
• Questions about administrative aspects of the course or specific mathematical topics are generally best posted in the appropriate Brightspace discussion board, as that way others can either answer them or benefit from responses.
• Introductory quizes "Quiz0" "Quiz 1" are available on Brightspace and should be completed by Sept 9th.
• Our class will meet in NAC 1/203 in the North Academic Center, on the first floor. You can head left from the plaza entry near the flagpoles.
• Questions about administrative aspects of the course or specific mathematical topics are generally best posted in the appropriate Brightspace discussion board, as that way others can either answer them or benefit from responses.
• Review quiz on quadric surfaces is available on Brightspace and is due Sept 9th. Note that you will also need to submit photos or images of handwritten work (in this case, sketches) as supporting material on Brightspace, under "Assignments/Supporting Work for Quadric Surface quiz"
• Introductory quiz "Quiz0" is available on Brightspace and is due Sept 9th.
• We will be using the WeBWorK system for electronic homework, but it is important to get in the habit of working out exercises clearly and completely by hand. Furthermore, note that the electronic system does not test many important aspects of the course, including knowing the definitions, theorems, and proofs, as well as geometric aspects such as sketching both in the plane and in space.
• The video lessons from the old Math 203 course which overlaps 213 considerably are here. To review prerequisite material, you may want to consider Lesson 7 "Cylinders" and Lesson 8 "Quadric Surfaces" which were covered in Math 212.
• There are some resources at the departmental Math 213 page which may be helpful.
• There are some helpful videos from Dr. Marchese at this YouTube channel which cover material from old 201, 202, and 203. These can be very helpful either to fill in gaps in preparation (for example for those who took calculus elsewhere and may be missing some topics) or as a review or supplement.
• For those who took a course comparable to Math 212 elsewhere or a while ago, there is a range of information available about current CCNY Math 212 here including syllabi, assignments, and sample departmental final exams.
• Sample departmental finals from Math 213 are available here.
