Final Exam

Our final exam is on May 19th at 2:15pm in Harvard Hall 202. The final exam is cumulative (see the review guide below for details). There will be two parts to the exam, one part on which calculators are allowed, and one part covering more computational problems on which they are not allowed. Office hours, review sessions, and help available are listed below. Scroll down for review guide, old exams, etc. The office hours and other materials are being updated frequently, so please check back.

[Notes: There was an error on the final exam review guide -- you do not have to know the midpoint and trapezoidal rules. The review guide has been corrected (thanks to Dana Bregman for noticing the error). Some of the PDF files below have been failing to come up for students. When I upload the file again, it fixes the problem, so please let me know ASAP if you have trouble downloading any of the documents. Solutions to problems #2 and #3 on the second part of the 2004 exam were missing (thanks to Michael Regan and Matt Thomas for spotting the omission), there is now a file below with the solutions to just those two problems (and note we did cover problems like #2 this semester so you are responsible for that type of problem).

Midterm 2

Midterm 2 will be held from 7-9pm on Thursday, April 27th in Science Center Hall D. This midterm will cover section 21.4, Appendix F, all of Chapters 22, 23, and 24, and sections 25.1 and 25.2 in our textbook. A review session (which hopefully will be videotaped) will be held on 4/20 from 5 to 6:30pm in SC Hall A. This exam will have the same format as Midterm 1. There will be two parts of the exam. On the first part, which is relatively short, you will not be allowed to use a calculator. This part may have computationally based problems, such as calculating definite integrals, finding antiderivatives, finding derivatives of inverse trig functions, finding limits, or finding an area function. The second part of the exam, on which you will be allowed to use a calculator, will have a format much like the second part of Midterm 1.

Keep in mind that the material covered in the second midterm from 2004 and 2005 was different that the material covered for this midterm exam.

Below you will find review materials for the midterm. We will be updating these materials frequently, so please check back. An addition has been made to the review guide -- you should be able to follow and to reproduce the steps of the proof of the first part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (p. 757-758 in the textbook)

Midterm 1

The first midterm will be held on March 23rd from 7-9pm in Science Center Hall D. Midterm 1 will cover chapters 17 to 20 (omitting 20.7) and sections 21.1, 21.2, and 21.3 in our textbook. The format for this exam will be different from the format of our previous midterm exams. There will be two parts of the exam. On the first part, which is relatively short, you will not be allowed to use a calculator. This part may have problems on solving trigonometric equations, finding the exact value for expressions involving trig and inverse trig functions, and differentiating trig and inverse trig functions. The second part of the exam, on which you will be allowed to use a calculator, will be much like our usual midterm exams.

There will be a review session on Thursday, March 16th from 5-6:30pm in Science Center Hall A. ~~The review session will be videotaped, and you can find the video under "Videos" on the left once it has been put on the website.~~ The review session, unfortunately, did NOT really get videotaped.

Review materials can be found below. NOTE: The Midterm 1 2005 solutions contain an error in problem 4(a). The algebra in the last line is wrong. It should read dr/dt = (250pi-5)/(10pi), which is approximately 24.84. This error also effects the 4(b) which uses dr/dt. The answer for 4(b) should be about 78,040 ft/hr. Thanks to Dana Bregman for bringing the problem to our attention!
