Here are some sample Maple assessment questions for this chapter.
Use Maple and the definition of the triple integral to evaluate the
integral

Create a worksheet which illustrates and utilizes the trapezoidal
rule in both the x and y directions to estimate the volume of the solid
under the graph of a non-negative function z = f(x,y) over a
type I region.
Implement the following in Maple: Here is a way to estimate a double
integral of the form

f( x,y) dydz
where 0 £ f( x,y) £ 1 for all ( x,y) in the
unit square. Choose x,y,z uniformly randomly between 0 and 1, and then
evaluate f( x,y) . Count all those points ( x,y,z)
for which z £ f( x,y) and ignore the others. The total count
divided by 1,000 will thus be an estimate of the value of the double
integral.
Create a worksheet which estimates and illustrates the center of mass
of a given solid assuming uniform density. The worksheet should plot both
the solid as a wireframe (or using transparency) and its center of mass.
Create a worksheet which first allows a user to supply 4 points and
then computes the volume of the tetrahedron whose vertices are the 4 given
points.
