Math 1110 Sections 102 & 107 Homepage
News & Announcements
12/13 I just posted final grades on asULearn. Your (curved) final exam grade as well
as your final course average are posted. Your course letter grade is posted as
a comment on the final course average.
If you'd like to see your exam, stop by my office some time. I'll keep them around
for at least a year or two.
Just because this class is over, don't feel like you can't ask me questions.
If you ever have a question mathematical or otherwise, please stop by my office
or send me an email. I'm glad to help if I can! And.....
Have a Merry Christmas!
12/01 Final Exams are next Friday and the following Wednesday.
Specifically: Section 102 (the 8am section) has its final exam on
Friday, December 8th from 8am until 10:30am.
Section 107 (the 10am section) has its final exam on
Wednesday, December 13th from 8am until 10:30am.
Your final will be cumulative, but you can ignore some of the "reviewed" portions.
Chapter 1: Just look at limits (section 1.8).
Chapter 2: You need to know what a derivative means/does. But don't
worry about theorems (like IVT and MVT). I won't ask you
to use the limit definition to find a derivative, but you
should understand what it says.
Chapter 3: You should review how to differentiate (sections 3.1-3.6)
and how to do implicit differentiations (section 3.7).
You can skip hyperbolic functions, linear approximations,
and the theorems section (skip 3.8-3.10). That said, you
should be able to find the equation of a tangent line.
Also, I want you to be able to derive the formulas for the
derivatives of arctangent, arcsine, etc. as well as tangent
and secant.
Chapter 4: Make sure you review 4.1 & 4.2. You should know what
critical points, mins, maxs, inflection points etc. are as
well as how to maximize and minimize on a closed interval.
Review 4.3 (optimization). I plan on giving a problem similar
to something from this section. You can skip 4.4 & 4.5.
Review related rates (4.6) as this should reappear on the final.
Also, I plan on giving a L'Hopital rule problem - review this.
(We didn't cover 4.8 so still skip it.)
Chapters 5 & 6 -- all of these chapters are fair game.
Also, review Section 7.1 (integration via substitution) as
well as 11.4 (separation of variables).
We also discussed Newton's method (Appendix C) and Taylor polynomials
(section 10.1). You may skip both of these topics.
I would encourage you to look over your old quizzes, tests, notes.
The old tests may be helpful as well.
Other than old Test 1,2,3 problems you might want to look at...
Final Exam (Summer 2017): All of it.
Final Exam (Summer 2012): 1acde, 2-4, 6-10.
These old final exams are missing a few topics. In particular, they have
no separation of variables problems on them. Some old MAT 1120 (Calculus 2)
problems are worth taking a look at.
Old Math 1120 exams are found here
Spring 2014: Test #1: 1b
Test #2: 1ab
Final Exam: Sec. 101: 2ab, 4a and Sec. 108: 2ab, 6a
Fall 2010: Test #1: 1, 2a, 4, 6
Test #2: 3
Spring 2009: Test #1: Both Forms: 1, 5, 7 and Form B: 2a
Test #2: 4
Final Exam: 1ab, 3
Among these you will find some extra u-substituion, area between two curves,
approximation of integrals, and differential equation problems. In particular,
there are several separation of variable problems.
Old resources/handouts to consider...
L'Hopital's Rule Exercises (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and Web version
Derivatives Practice (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and the Sage version.
Math 1030 "Business Calculus" covered differentiation and some integration, but
did not deal with trig functions. These resources are incomplete - but relevant.
Old Math 1030 Final Exams problems 1 and 2 (i.e. "part 1")
can give you even more practice with derivatives and basic integrals.
Math 1030 Derivatives Practice (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and Answer Key (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
Math 1030 Integral Practice (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and Answer Key (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
11/25 All test answer keys as well as last summer's final answer (+ key) are now posted here
11/10 Test #3 is Wednesday. It will cover Chapter 4 (except the last section on parametric curves).
Specifically, it will cover 4.1 - 4.7 plus our supplementary exercises on L'Hopital's rule:
L'Hopital's Rule Exercises (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and Web version
You can find old exams here.
Summer 2017's test #3 is relevant (it covered the same material).
Summer 2014's test #3 is relevant (it covered the same material).
Relevant problems from Summer 2012's tests...
Test #2: Problem 1
Test #3: Problems 2, 3, & 6
Final Exam: Problems 1cde & 6
The old test problems are not exhaustive. Make sure you are working suggested homework problems and
reviewing your notes.

10/18 Test #2 is Tuesday. It will cover 3.4-3.9 (although 3.1-3.3 are still relevant),
also 10.1 (Taylor polynomials) and Appendix C (Newton's method).
You can find old exams here.
Relevant problems from Summer 2017's tests...
Test #2: All of it

Relevant problems from Summer 2012's tests...
Test #2: Problems 3,5, & 6
Test #3: Problems 5 & 7
Final Exam: Problems 5 & 8 (except part f)
I recommend spending a good deal of time practicing derivatives. In particular,
don't forget about our Derivatives Practice (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and the Sage version.
Also, my old Math 1030 exams contain a lot
of derivative problems -- see especially Test #2 part 1 from various sessions.
These don't cover trig stuff, but could provide some extra practice. Along with
the corresponding MAT 1030 Derivatives Practice (.pdf) and Answer Key.
10/17 Newton's Method Sage Demo.
10/11 Taylor Polynomials Sage Demo.
10/09 Derivatives Practice (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] and the Sage version
10/03 Test #1 and its answer key are posted here.
09/22 Test #1 is Tuesday. It will cover sections 1.7, 1.8, all of Chapter 2, 3.1-3.3, 3.10, and
parts of 4.1 & 4.2 (as highlighted in the handout: Thms and Defs Handout (.pdf).
In particular, you should also know the definition of a "critical" point, what a "relative" (or
"local") minimum and maximum is, what an inflection point is as well as the Extreme Value Theorem.
I have old tests posted here. Note: Summer school classes had
2 hours and 10 minutes to take their exams (but did not necessarily take that long). However, those
exams are too long for our 50 min class.
The following old tests (or test problems) are relevant...
Summer 2017 Test #1: all of it.
Summer 2014 Test #1: all of it.
Test #2: problem #4
Summer 2012 Test #1: Skip problem #1.
Final Exam: problem #1 parts (a) and (b) and problem #3

08/29 More WileyPLUS tips...
- Be careful! Wiley is case sensitive. If the answer is $a^2+1$ then $A^2+1$ will be
counted wrong (keep lowercase variables lowercase).
- If an answer involves the mathematical constant $\pi$. Make sure you use lowercase $\pi$.
The pallet of Greek characters has both lower and uppercase Greek letters. The $\pi$ we
use in class is lowercase. (Uppercase $\pi$ looks like $\Pi$.)
- There is a problem in the set due tomorrow which asks you to find the equation of the line.
Wiley then says...
$y =$ ANSWER BOX: [ ]
If your answer is $y = 2x + 3$, then Wiley is looking for you to type "$2x+3$" in the box
(it's already provided the "$y=$"). So...
$y =$ ANSWER BOX: [$2x+3$]
...is correct but...
$y =$ ANSWER BOX: [$y=2x+3$]
...will be counted wrong. If Wiley already gives you "$y=$", don't include it again.

Hi All,
* I've had a number of students who have had various problems viewing/submitting
in Wiley Plus while using Safari, Firefox, and Explorer. As far as I can tell,
Chrome is the only browser which (so far) has not had any problems. Those
students who switched claim that their issues were resolved.
** It has also been pointed out that if there is a login issue, one possible
solution is to clear cache/cookies/history.

In general if you have a technical problem, you can click "contact us" in Wiley
(there is a link in the upper right hand corner of the screen) and then click
"Live Chat" (a big green button). A Wiley representative might be able to help
you fix your technical issue.
