Math 1120 Sections 103 & 105 Homepage
News & Announcements
12/03 Final Grades are done! I've sent out a final grade report with final exam grades,
final course averages, and letter grades.
If you'd like to see your final exam, I keep them in my office for at least a year or two.
I need to keep them on record for at least a year, but you can certainly come look at it
(and I'll go over any questions you have).
Also, just because this class is over, don't feel like you can't ask me questions. If you
every have a question mathematical or otherwise, stop by my office or send me an email.
I'm happy to help if I can!
And finally...Merry Christmas! I hope the rest of your finals go well and you have a fantastic break!
11/22 Our last quiz is tomorrow (covering 8.8 and 8.9). Once that is graded, I will send
out a grade report that includes your overall quiz & homework average.
I am going to split homeworks 1 & 2 into two separate grades (out of 10) and then
drop (out of 8 quiz and 4 homework grades) the lowest 2 scores.
Also, I will replace your lowest test score with your final exam score (if it helps).
I plan to hold a review session on reading day, Wednesday, Dec. 1st (during regular
classtime). Feel free to come and ask final questions...if you'd like.
You may bring one page of notes [one side of one standard size sheet of paper]
to the final exam. This can be printed or handwritten. It can contain whatever you
want (formulas, examples, etc.).
Studying: Please look over old quizzes, suggested homework (including chapter review
problems), old tests, handouts and notes. The following sections/topics are relevant...
5.5 (substitution)
5.6 (separable DEs - not the word problems)
6.1 area between graphs
6.2 volumes of revolution: disks and washers
6.3 [skip]
6.4 volumes via slicing
6.5 [skip]
6.6 work

8.1-8.7 (as needed) You should know how to recognize and sum geometric series.
You should know what absolute and conditional convergence are.
You may need to apply some of the convergence tests when working a power
series problem - but I don't plan on asking about convergence for general
series.
8.8 power series
8.9 Taylor series - skip binomial series
8.10 Taylor polynomials - skip error/estimation problems

11/19 Handout for Monday (and today):
Taylor Polynomials [Source: (.tex)] and accompanying Taylor Polynomials Sage demo.
11/05 Test #3 is Wednesday, November 10th. It will cover improper integrals,
sequences, series, and series convergence tests. This amounts to sections 7.7 & 8.1-8.7
in our text. You may find the handout and examples from 11/1 and 10/26 (posted below) helpful.
In addition, to notes, suggested homework, quizzes, and handouts, old tests are a good
resource for studying.
Also, Cole kindly offered to do a review session on Tuesday (November 9th) at 3pm
in Walker 103A. After the review session Math Lab meets in that room. Cole will probably
hang around for some of that time too (as before).
Old Calculus 2 Exam relevant problems...
Spring 2014: Test #2 (both forms) problem 2
Test #3 (Sec. 101) problems 1 and 3b
(Sec. 108) problems 1 and 3ab
Final Exam (both forms) problem 7
Fall 2010: Test #3 (both forms) problems 3,4,6
Spring 2009: Test #3 problems 3b,4,6
Final Exam (both forms) problems 6,7ab,8
11/01 An upcoming handout summarizing series convergence tests:
Series Tests Summary [Source: (.tex)] and Stewart's Test Flowchart and Supplement Problems
10/26 Here's an old example sheet covering the integral test (and some probability stuff):
Improper Integrals and the Integral Test [PDF Print: (.pdf)]
10/18 Maple Examples (.mw) [PDF Print: (.pdf)] from today.
Update: I fixed the typo we discovered this morning and also added an additional example
that might help with Homework #2 problem 4.
Note: With the probability examples and homework problem is there an annoying
"discretization" issue that I'm glossing over. For example, if someone says
they are 5 feet 10 inches tall (= 70 inches), they probably mean that their
height is between about 69.5 and 70.5 inches. We will ignore this issue.
Homework #2 (.mw) [PDF Print: (.pdf)] is due Monday, October 25th.
This is to be completed in Maple. You have several options:
1) Download and install Maple on your own device. There is a link and activation code posted
on our AsULearn page.
2) Work on a lab/library computer. Every public computer on campus is supposed to have
Maple installed on it.
3) Use UDesk to access a campus computer through a
webbrowser. Maple is installed on these virtual PCs.
10/13 Maple Tips & Tricks [Source: (.tex)] handout from today.
Introduction to Maple worksheet (.mw) [Print to pdf: (.pdf)]
09/29 Test #2 is Tuesday (October 5th). It covers Sections 7.1-7.5 in our text.
Cole kindly offered to do a review session on Monday (October 4th) at 3pm in
Walker 103A. After the review session Math Lab meets in that room. Cole will probably
hang around for some of that time too.
Test topics include:
7.1 = integration by parts
7.2 = integrating trig functions: powers of sine/cosine, powers of secant/tangent, and
integrating stuff like sin(2x)cos(5x).
7.3 = inverse trig substitutions: integrals involving a^2-x^2, x^2-a^2, and x^2+a^2
[use a sub like x=a*sin(theta) etc., convert to a 7.2 problem, convert back using a triangle.]
7.4 = completing the square: integrals with a quadratic or square root of a quadratic denominator.
[split into a u-sub piece and complete the square piece, do the u-sub piece, do the
complete the square piece by completing the square, factoring out a number to get a "1",
make a u-sub, integrate, sub back in.]
7.5 = partial fraction decompositions: polynomial division to make fractions proper,
write down our "forms", be able to compute partial fraction decompositions and then integrate.
A Note about Test #2 Formulas [Source: (.tex)]
Our current text includes some problems that don't show up in my old tests. I highly recommend
looking at notes, quizzes, examples worked out in the text, as well as suggested homework
from 7.1-7.5. You might want to check out suggested homework from 7.9 and the Chapter 7 review
(skip 39,41,43,45 in the review - these use stuff we haven't covered yet).

The Math Help Lab is available to provide additional help to students with
a desire to have a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical topics
covered in their class. Tutors are available to help enhance your learning;
they do not serve as a substitute for going to class and they are not there
to do your work for you. Students work individually, or with others in their
class, and request help from tutors who are standing by to answer questions.
Preference in assistance will be given to students who attend class regularly,
and who exhibit a strong desire to master the material.
How to use the lab:
Have all necessary materials with you (laptop, textbook, class notes, etc.).
If you are attending virtually, when you click the link and are on Zoom,
please provide your Appstate username for the tutor to sign you in. If you
are attending in person, please sit with others in your course (1020, Calc 1,
etc). When you need assistance, feel free to ask the tutor any questions that
you have. If you have been placed in a Breakout Room so that the tutors can
stay organized, simply send a message through Zoom's Chat feature. This
meeting is a great resource for you to ask questions or for you to simply
have a good working environment. Please utilize this resource and reach out
to me if you have any questions.
