Olivera's Help-time outside class: Tue 2:15pm-3:25pm in EC1105; Thu 11:15am-12:25 in EC1116

Video-lectures: My lectures from Spring 2015 -- (you will also find old exams/quizzes, etc) 

                     Video-lectures of Prof. Richard Delaware, Univ. of Missouri (hopefully the youtube link works now)

It may be best for you to follow video-lectures before we cover the corresponding sections. Try to do so.

Exams: For tentative schedule see the syllabus. The structure of the exams will be roughly as follows: about 80% is at the level of  standard suggested problems and 20% at the level of more difficult suggested problems (denoted with *) or theoretical topics (proofs that you will be asked to know). There is always a small bonus which may test your creativity and capacity to reason. In the suggested assignment below, the more challenging problems are denoted with a star. You should do enough of the suggested problems to be sure you understand the technique and/or idea behind them. If you have troubles with the suggested problems, particularly the standard ones, be sure to ask for help (my office hours, the tutoring services, colleagues, the LAs).

You may find useful the free version of the WolframAlpha computer software system . You can use this system at home to check your work, but it is essential that you are able to do computations on your own, not just rely on the software package. For your exams you will not be allowed any kind of electronic devices. 

Acknowledgement: Some of the problems in your worksheets are taken from (or are inspired by) materials of Prof. Geoff Podvin, Physics department, FIU (please, don't ask him for solutions though!). The instructor thanks Prof. Podvin for sharing his Calculus materials.

 The final exam is comprehensive. Everything that we covered could be on the final.
Review the three exams and the worksheets. It is probably wise to start your review with the Exam 3, as this material uses a lot of the earlier one. If you have time to review section by section -- this would be best -- try to understand what are the central ideas in each section and do a couple of problems from each. One question will be from 4.9 (MVT). No epsilon-delta proofs on final. A theoretical topic from those listed for previous exams, or a starred exercise (or equivalent) may appear on the final as a bonus. Definitions and statements of important theorems (see below) may be exam questions.
Apr. 20 Review for final Concepts you should know and understand well: 
two-sided vs. one sided limits; link between limits at infinity and horizontal asymptotes; indeterminate forms for limits; the epsilon-delta definition of limit; definition of continuity; statement of Intermediate Value Theorem IVT; 
the limit definition of the derivative; geometric and physical interpretations of derivative;
tangent lines to graphs and the link with local lin. approximation;
the link between the shape of a graph and the sign of the first and second derivative;
definition of critical points and their types; definition of inflection points;
statement of MVT; relation between position, velocity, acceleration in rectilinear motion; definition of anti-derivative.		 Techniques you should master: computation of limits (with or without l'Hopital); computing derivatives with all the rules involved (including knowing to find some basic derivative formula using the definition or previous formulas, 
knowing formulas for derivative of inverse trig. functions and how to derive them, knowing when and how to apply logarithmic differentiation); implicit differentiation; graphing basic parametric curves and finding their tangent lines (section 10.1);
related rates pbs; finding the local linear approximation near a given point;
graphing function with all that is involved; finding absolute max/min;
optimization problems; rectilinear motion problems;
computing anti-derivatives using basic formulas and the method of substitution.
      Office hours for the final exam:
Friday, April 21, 10am-12noon; Monday, April 24, 10am-12noon, 1-2:30pm.
