Grading |
Your final course percentage P will be based off four common hour exams and a section
grade determined by your instructor:
The section grade S is determined by your section instructor and will be based off
a combination of quizzes and/or homework assignments. Your instructor will communicate
their policies for this.
Your final course percentage P is then determined by:
P = (M1+M2+M3+F+S)/5
The course percentage will be converted to a letter grade using the following scale:
A |
A- |
B+ |
B |
B- |
C+ |
C |

F |
90-100 |

Tutoring/MLC |
Your instructor will let you know what their office hours are for extra help.
The Math Learning Center (MLC - Wil 1-112) also provides free tutoring during the week.

Exam Policies |
Exam topics will be announced in class and posted on this website below.
Common hour exams are closed book, no notes and no electronic devices.
The final exam is comprehensive but will have limited scope. The precise contents
will be listed later in the semester.
Policies regarding quizzes and/or homework forming your sectional grade will be communicated
to you by your instructor.
Class attendance on common exam days is not required |
|
|
Exam Dates |
Some sections will be sharing the same room for certain exams. In those situations
it does not matter where you sit but completed exams will be collected by section
number. Know your section number!

The bulk of the exam will involve using various tests to determine convergence or
divergence of series. This includes Geometric series, Telescoping series, Divergence test, Integral test,
p-series, Comparison tests, Alternating series test, root test, ratio test. |
. |
You will need to know the definitions and concepts associated with convergence, absolute
convergence, conditional convergence, radius of convergence and interval of convergence. |

Final: Tues Dec 11, 10-11:50am
. |
About 60% will be on Chapter 11 material. No review sheets will be posted for Ch 11
but the questions will either be homework problems or be very similar to homework problems. Pay special
attention to the parametric arclength formula and both the polar arclength and area formula. You may also be asked to convert between parametric curves (x(t),y(t)) and functions
y=f(x) and between polar equations and cartesian equations. There are several HW problems of this nature. |
. |
About 40% will be straight up basic integration problems. There is a new review sheet. Exam problems will either be taken from that sheet or be VERY similar. The formula sheet from Midterm
2 will also be attached though you will not need sin(A)cos(B) formulae. You will need to know a) substituion b) Int. by parts c) simple trig integrals d) simple inverse trig subsitutions
and e) simple partial fraction expansions. |
. |
There will be NO series problems |
. |
There will be NO application problems from Ch 6 or Ch 8 |
. |
In summary: Chapter 11 HW and the Integral sheet posted. |
. |
You should be able to do the exam in 60 minutes but will have 1hr 50min. |
Points of interest
There are many interesting and unusual things we don't have time to cover.
Some of these will be listed in the table below with a brief description and link. In some cases these may be
links to cool free software or web teaching aids. Enjoy!

Series |
If a series is conditionally convergent, you can sum it in a different order and make it converge to any number you wish!! Weird but true. |

PDF |
Series |
There are some free sites that have cool web interface teaching aids for series. The future is coming but you should take such aids with a grain a salt. They can sometimes give misleading results. ......so you still need to know the material! |
