Can Mathematica-based Calc3 be taken successfully by students who have not taken Mathematica-based Calc1 and Calc2? Can Mathematica-based Calc2 be taken successfully by students who have not taken Mathematica-based Calc1? Can Mathematica-based Differential Equations be taken successfully by students who have not taken earlier Mathematica-based courses? Can Mathematica-based Linear Algebra be taken successfully by students who have not taken earlier Mathematica-based courses?
The answer to each of these questions is yes. In fact at Illinois about 40-50% of the students in each of these courses consist of newcomers.
Comments from Students
C&M calculus has made me understand Economics and actually like it. Most people cringe when they hear that I am an Econ major, and I think their reaction results from the fact that they really don't understand it. Never have I used complex equations in Economic applications, but what I have learned visually from C&M calculus helps me understand graphs and concepts inclass everyday. This comprehension has made me realise the incredible logic behind economics, and now the subject fascinates me.
