08/02 Final grades are posted on asULearn.
If you want to see you final exam, I will keep them in my office for at least a
year or two. You may stop by and look at it anytime I'm here.
If you ever have any questions mathematical or otherwise, don't hesitate to contact
me. I'm happy to help if I can.
Have a great summer! (what's left of it anyway)
08/01 I just reposted all grades on asULearn.
I dropped your lowest quiz and lowest workshop before computing quiz/workshop averages.

07/18 Workshop #4 (.pdf) is due Tuesday, July 23rd.
Test #2 is tomorrow (Friday). It will cover revenue, cost, profit functions
and marginal functions along with the limit definition of the derivative and
derivative rules. The first part of the test will be done "by hand" (no
computers) and the second portion of the exam will be done in Excel.
Old Exams
Tests #2 from Summers of 2009, 2010, and 2011 are relevant as well as Test #2
from Fall 2008 (except for problem #1 in part 1).
Examples from today: Maximize (Section 3.4)
07/17 Wolfram Alpha Tips & Tricks
Revenue, Cost, Profit in Wolfram Alpha
Workshop #2 (.pdf) and Answer Key (.xls)
Examples from today: Quiz #3 Answer Key plus a Revenue, Cost, Profit problem.
07/16 Please cross out Workshop #3 problem 2a (the first limit problem).
It is a flawed problem from several standpoints (Excel can't get
close enough to "see" what the limit should be and this function
is undefined on one side of the limit). So just skip this part.
