You stated in an email that you would post a practice test for Mth 277. I was just curious when that would be done and where it would be posted. Would it just be for test one or the other four tests for the class would also be posted. Also, I wanted to thank you for your help on a practice test I submitted for Phys 232. You were very helpful with the short time period given.

@&

I've emailed the practice test ... no, that was for Mth 279. My error.

Here's a copy, which I'll also email:

1. Find the critical points of f(x,y) = 3 x^2 + 4 y^2 - 8 x y + 9. Classify each as either a relative maximum, relative minimum, or saddle point.

3. The ideal gas law states that P V = n k T, where k is a constant. Suppose V is also held constant, so that V / k can be regarded as constant.

1. Use the divergence theorem to evaluate the surface integral Int[Int[ F dot N dS, S]] where F = i, S is and N is the outward unit normal vector field.

2. Using Stokes' Theorem, evaluate Int[ F dot ds, C] where F = (x + z) i + (y + x) j + (z + y) k and C is the boundary of the triangular region with vertices (6,0,0), (0,4,0), (0,0,3) traversed counterclockwise as viewed from above.3. Evaluate Int[xe^(yz) ds, C], where C is the line segment from (0,0,0) to (1, 3, 2).

3. Evaluate Int[Int[ F dot N dS, S]], where F = 3 xi - y j + 2z k, S is the surface of the cube bounded by the planes x = 0, x = 1, y = 0, y = 2, z = 0, z = 3. N is the outward directed normal field.

4. Using a line integral, find the area enclosed in the semicircle y = sqrt(a^2 - x^2), where a is a constant. You can easily find the area of the region without using Green's Theorem, and you should compare your result with that expression, but you need to find the result using an appropriate line integral.

5. Show that the vector field F = < y^2 sqrt(z), 2 x y sqrt(z), x y^2 / (2 sqrt(z) ) > is conservative and evaluate Int[ F dot dR, C], where C is any smooth path connecting (1,1,-1) to (-1,-1,1).

7. Find div F, given that F = grad(f), where f(x,y,z) = x e^(x^2 + y^2).
