Why Shadowfax? Our cluster is so fast that we named it after the Lord Of The Rings character!

Wow, you've made it! Summer Session is not for the feint of heart, especially when it's 5 weeks, 4 nights per week, 3 hours each night of Multivariable Calculus! Gratz! You deserve a medal! Pat yourself on the back! I hope you learned a lot during our Summer Session II at NCC. Here's a short, albeit incomplete, summary of what we covered:
This week we just reviewed Chapters 16 and 17 on Monday for a TEST4B on Tuesday. Then we reviewed the entire course on Wednesday for our final TEST5B on Thursday.
Don't forget our educational FILKS/DOX:
Last but not least, I hope you enjoyed learning to do math pythonically with Jupyter Notebooks on Google CoLab! Graphing Calculators are so last century! I know TI makes some models that include Computer Algebra Systems such as the TI-89 and the TI-nSpire, both of which I used extensively when I taught AP Calculus BC for 25 years (1993-2018). Also, newer models have Python instead of TI-BASIC but Google Colab works seamlessly with Google Docs and it's FREE!
FYI, my coding background comes from teaching Computer Science Honors (CSH), AP Computer Science (CSA & CSAB), Computing Science Lab (CSL-Scientific Computing) and Computing Science Independent Study (CSI-Cluster Computing) for 35 years (1984-2019)!
Thanx for a great Summer Session. Enjoy the rest of the Summer. Good luck in all your future pursuits!

NOTE TO READER:
In recent years our independent study class has been about the care and feeding of Linux Clusters: How to Build A Cluster, How To Program A Cluster and What Can We Do With A Cluster?
BTW, Shadowfax is the name of the cluster we build! FYI, we offer 4 computing courses:
CSH: Computer Science Honors with an introduction to coding in Python using SAGE, IDLE, VIDLE and Trinket,
This week we finished our coverage of the 4 Great Theorems: Green's Thm for Work in the Plane, Green's Thm for Flux in the Plane, The Divergence Thm for Flux in Space and Stokes' Thm for Work in Space on Tuesday 2021.0422.
We even talked about Maxwell's Equations! Note above, when you apply The Divergence Theorem to the Divergence Equations, you get the integral form of said equation. Likewise, when you apply Stokes' Theorem to the Curl Equations, you get the integral form of said equation. Cool, right?
On Thursday 2021.0422 we reviewed CHAP17 during our HWK04 Clinic! Please see below for some sample SAGE solutions:
