News & Announcements
08/08 The exams are graded.
I posted the final exam grades and final course averages on AsUlearn.
Final letter grades are posted as comments in the course averages.
If you want to look over your exam, I'll keep them around for at least a year.
Also, if you ever have an questions, mathematical or otherwise, please don't
hesitate to send me an email! I'm happy to help if I can.
Have a great (what's left of the) summer!
08/04 Our Final Exam is next Tuesday. 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, 4, 6-10
08/03 Riemann Sums: HTML Export [math1110-summer2014-riemann_sums.mw]
07/27 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.
Summer 2014's test 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.
07/26 L'Hopital's rule supplemental exercises (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
07/21 Test #2 is Monday. 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 2014's tests...
Test #2: All but problem 4
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)
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.

Hi, all!
No students have come for tutoring on Fridays, so we're going to delete Fridays
from our schedule. For the rest of summer, hours in Walker 309 will be
Mondays - Thursdays, 2-5 pm.
Thanks, and please let me know of any concerns/ideas,
Lisa

07/13 Test #1 is Monday. It will cover sections 1.7, 1.8, all of Chapter 2, 3.1-3.3, and 3.10.
You should also know the definition of a "critical" point, what a "relative" (or "local") minimum
and maximum is, as well as the Extreme Value Theorem (found in sections 4.1 and 4.2).
I have two old tests posted here.
Summer 2014 Test #1 is all relevant. In addition, Summer 2014 Test #2 problem #4 is relevant.
Summer 2012 Test #1 is mostly relevant. Skip problem #1. Also, problem #6 asks about inflection
points which we have not discussed yet. The rest of that problem is good.
Summer 2012 Final Exam problem #1 parts (a) and (b) and problem #3 are relevant as well.
07/07 Because I'm running behind, I'm pushing the due dates of the first two homework
assignments back 1 day and moving Monday's quiz to Tuesday.
07/05 We will be using the online homework system Wiley Plus.

Free Math Tutorial Center
General Math Lab is held in Walker 309 Monday-Friday 3pm-6pm 2pm-5pm. 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.

Hi!
Math tutor lab will be open both summer sessions from 3 to 6 pm 2 to 5 pm in Walker 309.
Tutors will be experienced in the calc series, linear, techniques of proof, DE's and R.
Maybe not too helpful with STT 2810 or 2820, although if the students take their textbook
they will be helped. There will be two tutors all hours.
Thanks,
Lisa

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-D9FA2
