Previous cal3 class web pages (warning different textbooks):

The very first college math course I taught was Calculus 3 in Spring 73 at Pomona College in Claremont, California. I also taught a more advanced multivariable course at Harvey Mudd College in Fall 73, and once in the quarter system at FSU in 77-78 using an approach based on infinitesimals with non-standard analysis. Then a 28 year gap til Spring 96.

Our group project Back in the saddle again has a Gene Autry theme song!. It was used in the film "Rovin Tumbleweeds (1939)" about a cowboy congressman who exposes a crooked politician who is delaying passage of a flood control bill.
A Halloween Draft Version of the project.
CalcPlot3D the plotting tool which can help with the project.
