Final Exam

• The final exam will cover Chapter 17, Chapters 19 through 25 (omitting section 20.7), section 26.1, Appendix F in our textbook, and the material on differential equations: sections 15.2, 31.1, 31.3 and the handout on differential equations. The exam is scheduled for Thursday, May 26th at 9:15 am in Boylston 110. Please see the review guide for exactly what you need to know for the exam.
• Here's a review guide for the exam. Review guide solutions are here.
• Here's last year's final exam and solutions (Part 2, #3 seems to be missing from the file. The solution to that problem is Pi/3 miles per second.) Please note that we can only test a small amount of the course material in any one exam, so you should see the review guide for a comprehensive list of what you need to know. Note that last year's exam covered Appendix G and Chapter 18, which we did not cover. Also, we covered more differential equations this year than last year, so expect more problems on differential equations on this year's exam. See the review guide for details.
• Review sessions were held May 12th (link to video, link to slides, link to notes kindly provided by Sara Yun), May 15th (we could not get this videotaped, but here's the slides, trig identities sheet, and notes by Sara Yun), and May 17th (link to video, link to outline).
• Other help is available from the course staff. See the schedule below for office hours and locations.

Midterm 1

• The first midterm covered chapters 17, 19, and 20 and was held Tuesday, March 15th, from 7 to 9 p.m. Science Center Hall D. Here are solutions to the exam.
• Here's a review guide for the exam (note that Taylor polynomials will not be on the exam). Solutions are available: 17a, 17b, 19a, 19b, 20a, 20b, 20c.
• Additional reviews were written up by last year's CA's for Chapter 17 and Chapters 19 and 20.
• Here is last year's first midterm exam and solutions. Note that last year's exam also covered Chapter 18, which we did not cover this year (questions 5, 6, 7, and 8 are about Chapter 18 material, so you can ignore those questions)
• The video of the review session is available by clicking here. Note that at some point in the video Dr. VC starts going over an example tan^(-1)(sin theta) -- this example should have been tan(sin^(-1) -sqrt(15)/4). That gets cleared up after a few minutes, but you may just want to skip that part of the tape!

Midterm 2

• Midterm 2 coverfed Chapters 21 and 22, sections 23.1 and 23.2, and Appendix F in our textbook and was held on Tuesday, April 19th, from 7 to 9 p.m. in Science Center Hall D. Here are solutions for the exam.
• Here's a review guide for the exam. The answers are available for 21.2, 22.3 (in 4 parts: 1,2, 3, and 4), 21.1 and 22.2, Appendix F (parts 1 and 2) and 22.3. Please remember to show your work, not just your answers, on the exam.
• Here's last year's second midterm exam and solutions. Note that last year's exam covered Appendix G, which we are not doing (question 6 is about that material, so you can ignore that question). Also note that last year's second midterm did not cover 22.4, for which you are responsible.
• A video of the review session can be accessed by clicking here. There's a pdf file of the problems we discussed. The tape covers problems 1-3, then problems 6 and 7, and then returns to problems 4 and 5.
