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 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.

Apr. 28 | Review for Final Exam |
The final exam is comprehensive. Expect about 1/3 or maybe a bit more of the final to be from series. The rest will be on integration and its applications. One problem will be from section 9.9 (error estimate) and one will be from polar coordinates (10.2 and 10.3). Review the three exams and the worksheets. 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. |
Possible theoretical topics for final: FTC part (b) (assuming MVT for integrals); FTC part (a) (assuming part (b)); Proof of IBP; Area formula in polar coordinates (in the text, 10.3.4 formula (6), with the argument above); Theorem 9.3.3 (Geom. series thm.); Theorem 9.4.1 (k-th term div. test). |
Office hours during the final exam week: Wednesday, May 4, 10am-12noon, Thursday, May 5, 10am-12:00noon, 1:30-2:30pm |
