10/31/14

  • Quiz 5

    A blank quiz 5 is now available

  • Exam II

    Next Monday is exam II. A few more comments (see the previous post for more info):
    • It will cover sections 3.3-4.3.
    • For section 3.8, just know the definition of sinh and cosh and their derivatives. When taking derivatives of sinh and cosh, leave in terms of sinh, cosh and tanh (don't convert to exponentials).
    • For section 3.10, just know the interpretation of the mean value theorem i.e. `if my average speed over 1 hour is 50 mph, then at some point my instantaneous velocity was exactly 50 mph'.

  • In Class This Week:

    Sections 4.2 and 4.3

  • Homework:

    Web assign 4.3 and the written problems from 4.2/4.3 are due Thursday.

  • Exam II Info:

    Thursday 10/30 we will have a review day (no quiz). Bring questions from 3.3 - 4.3 assignments - focus on the WebAssign problems and written problems. You should also take a look at the department final exam study guide to get a feel for the type of problems you're expected to know how to do. You may also look at exams II and III from my 122b class last spring (under materials) - but not all the content on those exams will be on our exam II. This is due partly to a different schedule but mostly due to the fact that this semester I am trying to follow the same question style as the department's final exam.
