07/07 Final Exam(s) and Answer Key posted here.
05/06 Final grades have been posted on AsULearn.
Please feel free to email me if you have
any questions or if you want to look over
your exam. I will post the exam and an
answer key in the upcoming weeks.
04/30 We will have a review session on Monday
at 6pm in our regular room WA 108.
Feel free to stop by even if you can't
stay for the whole thing. I imagine
it will run something like 6pm to 8pm.
04/28 Finally...the Final Exam Review Sheet.
04/27 Here is the Answer Key for Quiz #8.
(Covering some power series stuff.)
04/24 I have graded the Test #3 Extra Credit problems and
posted a Test #3 Extra Credit Answer Key.
Updated grades are posted on AsULearn including
a "guess" at where you stand in the class. I have
computed the average as follows:
30% times (sum of quizzes and homeworks - two lowest quizzes)/180*100
[This does not include Quiz #9 or Homework #3 -- due Tuesday]
[(8-2) quizzes x 20 points + 2 homeworks x 40 points
= 180 points.]
70% times (Test #1 + Test #2 + Test #3)/3
The comment which appears with the approx. average is a
guess of what letter grade you currently have.
But do be aware: The approx. average does not take into
account Quiz #9 or Homework #3 (they might help --
especially Homework #3). Also, your tests are weighted 70%
whereas they should be weighted 45% with the Final Exam
weighted 25%.
04/20 Here is the Answer Key for Quiz #7.
(Covering some convergence and divergence tests.)
04/17 I forget to mention in class...
I made a mistake when typing up problem #8 in
the Test #3 Extra Credit problems.
It's fixed now. The original #8 wasn't a "real"
integral -- it involved square roots of negative
numbers.
Homework Set #3 is due Tuesday, April 28th.
As I have mentioned in class, I will be dropping
the lowest of your 3 homework grades. So if you
like your scores on homeworks 1 and 2, you may
skip this one. Also, for those who do all 3 assignments
I will consider using the lowest score as a
replacement quiz score or something.
To help you get started, here are some examples
of computing with improper integrals and sums in Maple...

04/08 Test #3 and its answer key are posted here.
Since everyone seems to need to do some extra
work with improper integrals and improper
integral comparisons, I am offering a possible
20 points back on your exam for completing
the following problems: Extra Credit.
These problems are due Wednesday, April 22nd
Also, we will have a quiz on Friday. And I hope
to post the final homework set soon.
03/31 Test #3 Formulas/Review
03/30 Here is the Homework Set #2 Answer Key.
(right-click choose "Save link as...")
Don't forget we have a test on Friday.
Test #3 will cover Chapters 9 and 10 as well
as section 11.1 and possibly 11.2
I will give you a few formulas (as I did with
the first two tests). We will discuss which
formulas those might be tomorrow.
03/18 Test #2 Answer Key posted here.
03/17 Homework Set #2 is due Friday, March 27th.
To help you get started, here is a demo of how
to compute Taylor and Fourier polynomials in
Maple...Taylor and Fourier Demo (.mws)
(right-click and choose "Save As")
Feel free (in fact, I encourage you) to modify
my demo worksheet in order to do Homework #2.
Also, don't forget, we have a quiz tomorrow
covering Chapter 9 sections 1 and 2.
03/04 Oh Horrors! I have finished grading the tests.
It was a blood bath. I think I nearly ran my
red pen dry.
Here's the deal...
I will hand back tests today. Please redo your
exam. Write up a neat set of solutions. Staple
your solutions to your original test and turn
it in by Monday after the break. I will give up
to 1/2 of your missed points back. So a 60 (with
perfect corrections) could turn into 60 + 40(1/2) = 80.
---> YOU MUST TURN IN YOUR ORIGINAL EXAM WITH YOUR CORRECTIONS!!!
03/01 ****TEST #2 DELAYED****
Due to the nasty weather, we will have
our test on Tuesday instead of Monday.
*If* we have class tomorrow, I will
spend the time reviewing for the test.
02/27 Test #2 Formulas/Review
(updated: Now with formulas from class.)
--> I had the double angle formulas in class
mixed up. 1+cos(2x) should have been 1-cos(2x).
02/13 Homework #1 grades posted on AsULearn.
02/11 We will have a quiz on Monday.
I plan on returning Homework #1 on Friday.
Here is the Answer Key (.mws).

02/10 Test #1 Answer Key posted here.
Average & Median = 73%
02/05 Test #1 Formulas/Review
...revised and expanded.
02/04 Notes:
1) We did have class today. We spent the whole
class reviewing for Friday's test -- Yes,
WE WILL HAVE TEST #1 ON FRIDAY.
2) Homework #1 is now due Monday.
3) I plan on being in my office *some* tomorrow.
Feel free to call my office if you want to
see if I'm here.
4) Test #1 Formulas/Review
This sheet lists the formulas that I will give
you on Friday's test. Of course, there are other
formulas -- like for arc length -- that I expect
you to have memorized. I listed a couple of
review problems on this sheet. I plan to add
more later.
5) These are probably of no help what-so-ever
but as promised...my old NCSU exams
You should know NCSU's Calc. II is not the
same as ours. And they use a very different
textbook.
02/02 UPDATE: (4:30pm) I added some more comments to
the "Approximating Integrals in Maple" worksheet. It
shouldn't be too hard to adapt these examples in order
to do the homework.
WARNING: The original "Approximating Integrals in Maple"
worksheet contains errors. They have been fixed (hopefully).
When finding the bounds K1, K2, and K4 -- I did not take
enough derivatives to find critical points. Sorry!
FIXED: Approximating Integrals in Maple
Finding an upper bound.
This Maple example demonstrates the use of
"Numerically Solve from a Point".
01/28 I will not hold any office hours this Friday.
