News & Announcements
08/06 Done! All grades are in. I've posted your final exam and final course
averages on AsULearn. Your final letter grade is posted as a comment
on the final course average.
If you'd like to look over your final exam, I'll keep them in my office
for at least a year or two. Feel free to stop by anytime.
Also, 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,
stop by my office or send me an email. I'm glad to help if I can!
I hope you all have a great (what remains of) the summer!
08/01 I've re-posted all grades (only the final remains to be determined).
Please check that everything looks correct. Since we have a cumulative
final, I've decided to replace your lowest test score with the final
exam (if it helps your grade). This means that you have more of a
chance to bring your grade up than drag it down with the final so
study hard!
Our final exam is next Wednesday. It 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 this should reappear on the final (4.6).
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 on integration via substitution.
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.
Relevant problems on the old Final Exam (Summer 2012): 1acde, 2, 3, 6-10
07/29 Riemann Sums: HTML Export [math1110-summer2014-riemann_sums.mw]
07/25 Test #3 is Monday. It will cover Chapter 4 (except the last section on parametric
curves). Specifically, it will cover 4.1 - 4.7.
You can find old exams here.
Relevant problems from Summer 2013's tests...
Test #2: Problem 1
Test #3: Problems 2, 3, & 6
Final Exam: Problems 1cde & 6
The old test problems don't cover everything. Notably, there's nothing about
revenue, cost, and profit. Make sure you are working suggested homework problems
and reviewing your notes.
07/24 Test #2 grades are posted on AsULearn. Test #2 and its answer key are posted
with the old exams.
07/17 Test #2 is Monday. It will cover 3.4-3.10 (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 2013's tests...
Test #2: Problems 3,5, & 6
Test #3: Problems 5 & 7
Final Exam: Problems 5 & 8
You should also look at the section on linearization (3.9) and differentiation
theorems (3.10). This material isn't well represented on the old tests.
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 Derivatives Practice (.pdf) and Answer Key.
Newton's Method in Maple
07/10 Test #1 is Monday. It will cover 1.7, 1.8, Chapter 2, 3.1-3.3.
You can find old exams here.
All of Summer 2013 Test #1 is relevant except problem 4 parts c and d.
Test #2 problem 1 part a is relevant too. These do not cover "basic"
rules of differentiation from sections 3.1-3.3. Make sure to review
this stuff as well!
07/09 I forgot to post Wolfram Alpha tips & tricks (from my business calc class).
(In case you're interested).
06/26 Just posted... syllabus, schedule, and suggested homework pages.

Free Math Tutorial Center
General Math Lab is held in Walker 308 Monday-Friday 2pm-4pm. It opens the first day of
classes for each session.
It is intended for assistance in most 1000-2000 level Math coursework (except Math 1030).
This lab is staffed by math tutors, graduate assistants, and Math Department faculty.
Faculty Advisor (F) - Nate Weigl (weiglna@appstate.edu) (262-3050)
Tutors: (UG - undergraduate / G -graduate)

Lee Fisher - (UG) - fisherla1@appstate.edu
Stacey Burchette - (UG) - burchettese@appstate.edu
Kevin Atkinson - (UG) - atkinsonki@appstate.edu

In addition to the free Math lab in WA 309, you also have
access to free group tutoring. For more information check
out this group tutoring flyer.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
We may use "Maple" a few times this session. Maple is a "computer algebra system"
(math software) and is available -- theoretically -- on all campus computers.
Math majors are likely to encounter this software many times as they take courses
in their major. Geology, Physics, and several other majors may run into it again
as well. If you would like to purchase a copy of Maple, you can get it for about
$75 with the discount code: AP97261-6BD7F
