- Yes! It's finally here! Everyone's been talking about the
Taco bar, 11:30-1:30, Fourth Floor, by the central
elevators. After class -- be there!
- "Weekly" Homework 3 is due.
- Next time (Monday) we'll continue with partial fractions,
and finish that. Then Tuesday we'll begin Numerical
Integration.
- What would you think about pushing the next exam back a week? 3/5 versus 2/26.... It would be better for me. That puts it up against Spring Break week.
- Chapter 7, "Techniques of Integration", begins with a

The photo shows a screw-worm fly, the first pest effectively eliminated from a region by the sterile insect technique without pesticides. The idea is to introduce into the population sterile males that mate with females but produce no offspring. In Exercise 7.4.67 you will evaluate an integral that relates the female insect population to time.
(my emphasis)
- Today we consider the derivation (and evaluation) of the integal of Exercise 7.4.67, p. 542.
