If you are using juliabox, you need to install some packages. (This is like adding an app to your phone.) Copy the following commands into a cell:

Pkg.update()
Pkg.add("Roots")
Pkg.add("Plots")
Pkg.add("SymPy")
using Plots

Execute the cell. (You may need to restart Julia, as a small, non-fatal error can occur with older versions.)

Notes

5/14/16

Videos. In case they are of any interest, I made some 5-6 minute videos explaining the main topics of the 3 projects to be covered on the final exam which will be on the 23rd:

As well, there is a review for the final on line.

5/2/16

Two more extra credit projects. Again each worth 5 points. This is due the last day of class.

You can "sync" these from https://github.com/mth229/jv229 branch master to make it easy to copy into your JuliaBox workspace.

4/18/16

There are two extra credit projects. Each is worth 5 points and must be turned in by May 4th.

4/4/16

The second test will be Wednesday April 13th. It will cover material from the projects on limits, derivatives, and the first and second derivatives.

2/29/16

We moved test 1 to March 9, not March 7. As well, the due dates were pushed back a bit.
As a reminder, everyone who submits the project will receive a 100 on the first project.

2/21

You can load the plotting package with just:

using Plots

In the notes there is an extra call to gadfly(). This is optional and not recommended.

In the notes it is mentioned that you can plot two function f and g over [a,b] with the command:

plot([f, g], a, b)

You can also do this in two steps using subsequent call to plot! to modify the graphic:

plot(f, a, b)
plot!(g, a, b)

2/21

A few amendments to the plotting notes:

The notes start the plotting packge

2/21:

The project on plotting has been shortened.

2/21

The project on functions has been shortened
