@My Calc III students:
So I have referenced the Khan Academy as a supplement every now and then. Is it useful?
In addition, it’s that survey time of year! You should fill out this survey for this course.

February 25, 2021 at 6:24 pm on phase_mag_plot: a sage package for plotting complex functionsI'm glad to hear it! I would also read issues or pull requests on github. I think it would not be particularly hard to incorporate this into official sage. I have a local build of sage that includes a variant of phase_mag_plot as the default complex_plot. There are a few additional usability things I need to do before submitting this ---
February 25, 2021 at 5:07 pm on phase_mag_plot: a sage package for plotting complex functionsI took the liberty to download your SageMath module and changed a few options. Since I was not completely clear on the interaction between lightness and color (defined by the argument of the function to be displayed) I decided to weigh these differently. Color, from the colorwheel by 0.8 and lightness by 0.2. I computed the color first and weighed ---
December 23, 2020 at 4:07 pm on Trigonometric and related substitutions in integralsFor Euler substitutions, do you mind explaining the reasoning for the t term in x*sqrt(a) + t. Is there anywhere else I can read up on this? Thanks for this post!
April 11, 2020 at 4:53 pm on AboutHi Could you please share the python code to generating beautiful plots? I plan to use it for my son to get interested in python programming. Son
October 7, 2019 at 4:03 am on Notes from a talk at the Maine-Quebec Number Theory ConferenceOmega results of this form using this method are presented quite nicely in Chapter 15 of Montgomery and Vaughan; they give applications towards sign changes of the Chebyshev psi function and of partial sums of the Mobius function.
June 16, 2019 at 1:55 am on Choosing functions and generating figures for “When are there continuous choices for the mean value abscissa?”At first, we chose 2 because it was the other "obvious" point that we hadn't yet specified. We already controlled the values at 0, 1, and 3. But I later realized it doesn't matter what point we choose. What we're really doing is adding one extra degree of freedom and using it to minimize the L2 norm of the derivative ---
June 16, 2019 at 1:14 am on Choosing functions and generating figures for “When are there continuous choices for the mean value abscissa?”Why did you choose 2 for the pt in the L2 part? What if you chose 1.5 or something?
September 27, 2018 at 3:55 pm on AboutI appreciate your taking the time to reply. The version of FreeCell I play online does count taking a card from the tableau (and the Freecells) as a move when adding them to the foundation. I never realized others did not.
You’we got a nice blog here, DLowry! :P
Thank you! It’s growing up, but it’s still a toddler.
