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). 
      (right click on the link and choose "Save As".)

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.

      Maple Adoption Program
      The link above will take you to our Maple adoption
      page which contains a discount code in case you
      want to purchase a student copy of Maple for your
      own computer. With the discount Maple costs $75.

      Homework #1 is due next Wednesday.

      It will cover 5.1 - 5.4.
