Chapter 12 Revisions

[nelong]

• [ ] Some of the plots used in Chapter 12 are not the cleaned up versions (they are cluttered with inconsistent spacing (See Figure 12.2.8, 12.3.5) What is the process for updating these? Do I need to generate the images or just include the sage code or both?
• [x] Should we write solutions to WebWork exercises we use but do not have a provided answer/solution (Exercise 2 in Section 12.2, for example)
• [x] Other issues go here

For the first item, if you send a PR that has the correct Sage code in the PreTeXt source, I can rebuild the images and then rebuild website with the corrected images.

I'm not convinced WeBWorK is the right long-term solution for interactive exercises (ACS is definitely going with DoeNet before long), so I would not invest any energy into writing solutions for WW exercises that don't have a solution. I generally build solutions manuals without including the WW solutions anyway.

I'm reading through and making solutions for Chapter 12, so this may just be a notes on my read through for now. I didn't think other people read my Issues on GitHub...

Here's another one then.

From Nicholas Zoller on our Google Group:

Hi,

My Calculus III students and I started a Google Doc to share the typos, errors, etc. that we find in chapter 12. You can find that document here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WEfjOv2Fwe9btbYYIsRTsLdKTQkRsw60oC4PFT-prxw/edit?usp=sharing

Our semester ends on December 7, so it should be complete by December 8.

I hope that this document is helpful to the writing team as they revise and improve chapter 12.

From Austin Mohr on the Google Group:

Activity 12.1.2e has the typo "and and".

• [ ] Write exercise for parameterizations and line integrals about converting between notations. Ask them what changes in this formula if the vector field changes

I have taken care of all comments/typos in the shared file above as part of the Solution Manual branch
