The painting ”Pigeon with Green Peas” by Pablo Picasso was stolen in 2010. The thief
got scared and disposed it to trash shortly after the theft. The garbage was emptied and
taken away, the painting lost for ever. Or the thief had been clever ...

at ~r(0). Each of the following 3 vectors ~a, ~b, ~c is placed exactly twice in the puzzle to the

ramp q

at the point (1, 2, 3).

two cones has fixed volume

Use Lagrange to find the values r and h for which the
surface area
√
A(r, h) = 2πr r 2 + h2
is minimal. Hint: as you have seen in homework, it
is much more convenient to minimize f (r, h) = A(r, h)2
instead.

tadpole function

First tadpole: “What is your favorite book?” Second
tadpole: “Metamorphosis by Kafka. What is your fa-
vorite year?” First tadpole: “Leap year!” Both croak
with laughter. Then, sick of frog jokes, they turn green.
 Problem 7) (10 points)

Find the area of the heart shaped polar region

(θ − π)2 ≤ r ≤ 2(θ − π)2

with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π.

Warning: Valentine cards displaying

“You are my r < (θ − π)2 !” do not always work.

Problem 8) (10 points)

Mathematica 10 does not give an elementary expression

for the integral
1 e 1
Z Z
dx dy ,
0 exp(y) log(x)
where log is the natural log. You can! “Humans are
awesome 2014”! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBCOMG2F2Zk

The logarithmic integral Li(x) = dt/ log(t) is important in number theory. It was Gauss
0
who proposed first that the number π(x) of primes smaller than x is about Li(x). It is now

known that 0.89 Li(x) ≤ π(x) ≤ 1.11 Li(x) for all large enough x. P.S. Mathematica can solve

the double integral of course, but only if told to ”FullSimplify”.

of the monkey saddle parametrized by ~r(u, v) =

hu, v, u3 − 3uv 2 i over the domain R : u2 + v 2 ≤ 1. This
quantity is also known as the moment of inertia of the
surface. Spin that monkey!
Problem 10) (10 points)

because they were written while watching that movie:
