Emmaline the Bear: This actually isn’t on campus it stands on a fountain on Main Street.

They’ve been named the top 10 sunset-watching spot!

Signing a Knight: Seniors get to sign a suit of armor that is then displayed on campus.

It used to be tradition that they’d paint as far up as they could go, but you can see that kind of fell by the wayside!”

Greek Tree: “It’s got years worth of paint on it.

“You hear some weird stuff coming out of there!”

The Bell tower plays every couple hours.

“It got damaged in a storm, and the college was going to take it down, but the students protested and they left it up,” my tour guide explained.

The Seuss Spruce which has become the (unofficial?) icon of the college.

The result should be an example of a quadric surface.A few cool traditions or interesting trivia about campus include: More surfaces in 3 dimensions, particular general cylinders and quadrics.īetween now and Wednesday’s class, use Mathematica to see what happens if you plot a “sphere” in which the x, y, and z terms have different coefficients, for instance 2x 2 + 1/4 y 2 + 9z 2 = 1. I’ll give extensions of “grade by” dates if your schedule doesn’t permit you to meet with me before the original one and you notify me on or before the “complete by” date. Schedule meetings through Google calendar I’ll demonstrate how, if you want, next class. The “grade by” date is a day or so later, and is the day by whose end (5:00 PM) you need to have met with me to go over your solution. Notice the face-to-face grading: the “complete by” date is the date after which I’ll assume you’re done with this problem set and ready for another. See this Mathematica notebook for a transcript of exactly what we did.įor more information on using Mathematica, the manufacturer’s documentation is at Problem Set
