  • Here is a proof of the second partials test.
  • Here is some polar graph paper, which will probably help you out.

Lecture Progress

Links to Mathematica code which are followed by "(DC2)" have examples taken from Prof. David Cook II. A thank you to him for letting me use his code.

The lecture notes from August 29 and October 31 are by Alexander Diaz-Lopez, and the lecture notes as well as the Mathematica code from October 3 are by John Harvey.
