Announcements
o Sep. 4: Quiz 1 covers Sections 5.5 and 6.1
o Sep. 11: Quiz 2 covers Sections 6.2 and 6.3
o Sep. 18: Quiz 3 covers Sections 6.6 and 7.1
o Sep. 18: Lecture canceled because Cathedral of Learning was closed down.
o Sep. 25: Quiz 4 covers Sections 7.2 and 7.3
o Oct. 2: Quiz 5 covers Sections 7.4 and 7.6
o Oct. 4: Information about the upcoming midterm: The test is 50 min. long during the Wednesday Oct. 11 lecture. It covers material discussed until the end of this week. There are 5 questions. One problem from integration techniques (integration by parts, substitution, trig substitutions and improper integrals), one problem from integration by partial fractions, one problem about area between curves, volume of solids obtained by revolution and length of curves, one problem from applications of integral in physics and finally one problem about dot and cross products and equations of lines and planes.
o Oct. 4: No quiz on Tuesday Oct. 10.
o Oct. 16: Quiz 6 covers Sections 10.1-10.5
o Oct. 23: Quiz 7 covers Sections 9.1-9.4
o Oct. 23: MT1 papers where returned in class.
o Oct. 24: Solutions to Midterm 1 posted.
o Oct. 30: Quiz 8 covers Sections 8.1-8.2 (sequences and series).
o Nov. 6: Quiz 9 covers Sections 8.3(integral and comparison tests).
o Nov. 12: Information about the upcoming midterm 2: As before the test is 50 min. long during the Wednesday Nov. 15 lecture. It covers material discussed after midterm 1 and including Friday lecture about Taylor polynomials and series (9.1-9.4, 8.1-8.7). There will be questions about parametric curves, polar coordinates, convergence of sequences, convergence of series (including geometric series as well as different convergence tests such as integral test, comparison test, ratio test, root test), radius of convergence of a power series, finding the Taylor polynomial and series of a given function.
o I will have extra office hour on Monday Nov. 13, 2pm-3pm to help if you have extra questions to prepare for the midterm. You can also email me your questions.
o No quiz on Tuesday Nov. 14.
o There WILL be a quiz on Tuesday Nov. 21 on Taylor series and applications. One question about Taylor series and one question about error of Taylor polynomial.
o Nov. 27: Midterm 2 papers were returned.
o Nov. 27: Solutions to midterm 2 are posted.
o Nov. 27: Quiz tomorrow covers Sec. 7.7 from textbook (Differential Equations). It will NOT contain material from todays lecture.
o Dec. 5: As announced in class, no quiz today.
o Dec. 5: Information about final:
Check out the link to “some recent sample final exams” above. This is the best practice to prepare for the final. The solutions to these will be posted soon.
No calculators are allowed on the departmental final exam.
No formula sheets are allowed on the final exam.
One-letter grade rule is applied in all courses with the departmental final exam. That is, your final grade can not be more than one letter grade higher than your final exam grade (the other way is OK).
The following topics (that were covered during the semester) WILL NOT be included in the final exam:
- Error estimates (Simpson’s Rule, Taylor Polynomial, …)
- Numerical integration (Left-, right-, midpoint-, trapezoidal, Simpson’s Rule)
- Oscillations (from the applications of 2nd order diff. equations)
Any other topic listed in the syllabus may be (but not guaranteed) to be included in the final.
The final is cumulative, The material covered is distributed evenly (approximately 1/3 of the exam will cover each of the MT1 material, MT2 material and the material covered after the 2nd midterm). The final is NOT heavily weighted on the last part of the course.
o I will hold extra office hours 1pm-3pm Monday before the final.

o There are no written assignments in the course.
You do your homework in LON-CAPA. If you have problems with typing solutions etc please see your TAs. One common problem is that the LON CAPA system may not accept your (numerical) answer if you do not enter it with several digits of accuracy.
o There will be 2 midterms, one final exam, weekly quizzes during recitations and weekly LON CAPA assignments.
o Midterm 1: Oct. 11, 2017
o Midterm 2: Nov. 15, 2017
o Final grade is 30% final, 25% each midterm and 10% quizzes and 10% online assignments (LON CAPA)
o Final exam: Dec. 12, 2017
