Preface

Here are a set of practice problems for my Calculus III notes. If you are viewing the pdf version
of this document (as opposed to viewing it on the web) this document contains only the problems
themselves and no solutions are included in this document. Solutions can be found in a number
of places on the site.

1. If you’d like a pdf document containing the solutions go to the note page for the section
you’d like solutions for and select the download solutions link from there. Or,

2. Go to the download page for the site http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/download.aspx and

select the section you’d like solutions for and a link will be provided there.

3. If you’d like to view the solutions on the web or solutions to an individual problem you
can go to the problem set web page, select the problem you want the solution for. At this
point I do not provide pdf versions of individual solutions, but for a particular problem
you can select “Printable View” from the “Solution Pane Options” to get a printable
version.

Note that some sections will have more problems than others and some will have more or less of
a variety of problems. Most sections should have a range of difficulty levels in the problems
although this will vary from section to section.

Here are a set of practice problems for the Multiple Integrals chapter of my Calculus III notes. If

document contains only the problems themselves and no solutions are included in this document.
Solutions can be found in a number of places on the site.

you’d like solutions for and select the download solutions link from there. Or,

5. Go to the download page for the site http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/download.aspx and

select the section you’d like solutions for and a link will be provided there.

6. If you’d like to view the solutions on the web or solutions to an individual problem you
can go to the problem set web page, select the problem you want the solution for. At this
point I do not provide pdf versions of individual solutions, but for a particular problem

version.

Note that some sections will have more problems than others and some will have more or less of
a variety of problems. Most sections should have a range of difficulty levels in the problems
although this will vary from section to section.

Here is a list of topics in this chapter that have practice problems written for them.

Area and Volume Revisited

The intent of the section was just to “recap” the various area and volume formulas from this chapter and
so no problems have been (or likely will be in the near future) written.
