Math 1120 Sections 101 & 108 Homepage
News & Announcements
06/12 All tests, the final exam, and answer keys are posted here
05/08 I just posted final grades on AsULearn. Your (curved) final exam grade as well
as your final course average are posted. Your course letter grade is posted as
a comment on the final course average.
If you'd like to see you exam, I'll keep them around for at least a year. Just
stop by my office sometime.
Even though the course is over, I'm still happy to help if I can. Always feel
free to stop by (or email) and ask about anything. :)
Have a great summer!
05/01 A grades are reposted on asULearn.
Please double check your grades to make sure nothing is missing/incorrect.
I dropped your lowest quiz when computing your quiz averages. I will replace
your lowest test score with your final exam score (if it helps).
We will have a review session this Monday (May 5th) at 1pm in WA 105.
I don't have anything structured planned. Come with questions. I'll answer questions
and go over examples until we get run out of the classroom or just get too tired
to do any more. Feel free to stop by for just a few minutes. Don't feel like you
need to stick around to the bitter end. :)
Studying: Please look over old quizzes, suggested homework (including chapter review
problems), old tests. The following sections are relevant...
7.1 (substitution)
7.2 (integration by parts)
7.4 (partial fractions, trig subs)
7.6 (improper integrals)
7.7 (comparison test for improper integrals)
8.1 (areas/volumes via slicing)
8.2 (volume of revolution - skip arc length)
9.1-9.4 (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.
9.5 (power series)
10.1 (Taylor polynomials)
10.2 (Taylor series)
10.3 (finding Taylor series)
11.1 (DEs basics)
11.2 (slope fields)
11.3 (Euler's method)
11.4 (separable ODEs)
11.5 (grow/decay and Newton's law of cooling)
You can find old tests here. The following problems are relevant:
Fall 2010: Test #1: 4, 6
Test #2: 1, 3-6
Test #3: 1ac, 3b, 4
Spring 2009: Test #1: 5, 7
Test #2: 1, 2, 4-6
Test #3: 1ac, 3b, 4
Final Exam: 2b, 3-6, 9, 10
(same problem numbers for both forms of all exams)
04/15 Homework #3 (.mw) is due Wednesday, April 30th.
Taylor and Fourier Series Demo should be helpful.
Convergence via Integral Test might be useful.
04/13 Test #3 is Wednesday. The test will cover all of chapter 9 and all of chapter 10
(except the section on Fourier series). Some old tests are posted here.
As before, keep in mind that we switched textbooks since I last taught 1120. In the old
textbook we covered the material in a different order. Here are the relevant problems
from the old tests...
Fall 2010: Test #3: 1,6 (for both forms)
Spring 2009: Test #3: 1,6
Final Exam: 7-10 (for both forms)
03/27 Test #1 Corrections, new Test #1 grades, Homeworks #1-#2, Quizzes #1-#4, and Test #2
grades have all been posted on asULearn.
Future Quizzes #6-??? Mondays Tuesdays.
03/25 Homework #1 & 2 Answer Keys
03/04 Test #2 is Thursday. It will cover..
Sections 7.5, 7.6 & 7.7 (approximating integrals, improper integrals, comparison test)
Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.5, 8.7, 8.8 (area/volume, volumes of revolution/arc length,
center of mass, work/pressure, probability density functions, mean/median/probabilities)
Old tests can be found here. Again they
are based on a different textbook, but contain problems which should be
helpful as you review.
Fall 2010: Test #1: 2(a),2(c),4,5 (for both forms)
Test #2: 1,2 (for both forms)
Test #3: 3,4,5
Spring 2009: Test #1: 2(a),3,5,6 (for both forms)
Test #2: 1,3
Test #3: 3,4,5
There are some relevant review problems on the Spring 2009 final exam as well.
02/26 Homework #2 (.mw) is due Wednesday, March 5th.
02/19 A blank copy of Test #1 for...
8am = Section 101 (.pdf) [source (.tex)]
11am = Section 108 (.pdf) [source (.tex)]
Please rework each problem and write up your solutions. You may work on a fresh
copy of the exam (available via the links above) or you can work on your own
paper. Do NOT write over/erase/modify your original test. Then staple your
corrections to the top of your original test -- AGAIN -- turn in your original test
with your corrections!
Corrections are due next Wednesday (February 26th). I will give back
some of the points you lost. The number of points returned will be based on what
got corrected. Everybody should turn these in - everybody could use some
extra points!
02/17 For the 8am section (Sec. 101):

Noah is moving the study halls for this week to Tuesday & Thursday 7-9pm (no
study hall this Wednesday).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Also, we have our quiz tomorrow. Noah will be in the math lab 4-7pm tonight if
you want any help getting ready.
02/06 Test #1 is Monday. It will cover Sections 7.1, 7.2, & 7.4 (Remember
that 7.3 is just an introduction to using tables of integrals).
I have several old tests with answer keys posted here.
However, they are based on a different textbook which led to covering
this material in a different order. For the most part, the relevant
questions can be found in tests 1 & 2 there -- just focus on the
integrals and definite integrals, but watch out for "improper integrals"
(these are definite integrals which require limits for evaluation).
You best bet for studying for Monday's test is working through the suggested
homework. Especially the review problems from Chapter 7...
Chapter 7 Review (pages 408-410): 1-69(odd),79,89,97,105,117,123,129,131,133,135,139

01/16 From Noah (Section 101 - 8am - lead tutor)

Hey everyone!
So once again, I'm Noah Hughes, the Lead Tutor for your Calculus II class.
A Lead Tutor is a tutor specifically tailored for your class. So, if you have any
questions regarding the class, the material, or the assignments, I'm here for you.
The tutors in the UTS lab and the Math Lab are ready to help with Calc II but they
will not have been to your lecture and will not know exactly what has been covered
or how it has been covered, whereas I will.
I will be holding two study halls a week where you can come with questions on the
material or homework.
These will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 - 9pm in Walker 310.
I do ask that you come to the study halls ready with questions and attempt the
problems you plan to ask me about.
These will begin next week on Tuesday, 1/21/14.
I will also happily answer questions by email, and this is the best way to
reach me:
hughesna@appstate.edu
On another note, the General Math Help Lab is available to you as well. It
operates Monday through Thursday from 4 - 7pm. I will be working there on
Monday and Wednesday.
The UTS lab on campus also offers 1-on-1 tutoring for Calculus II. You only need
to fill out an application for a tutor there. I am not working there this
semester but if you have any questions regarding the UTS lab I will be happy
to help.
All of this help is FREE, so take full advantage and ace Calc II!
Thanks,
Noah

01/01 We will occasionally use Maple (a computer algebra system) in this
course. If you'd like to purchase a copy for your own computer...
Maple adoption code: AP97261-60F08
Maple webstore (choose "student")
With the above discount code you can download Maple for $75 (instead
of $100). Since Maple should be installed on every public
campus computer, you do not necessarily have to purchase Maple for
your home computer but many students find it helpful to have a home
copy.

Hi all,
Due to construction in 303A next semester we will be open during
different times & in a different room than normal in the spring.
***Our schedule will be MTWR 4-7pm in room 308. Please keep that in
mind for your spring syllabi. I'll send out another reminder over
the break.***
We will officially open on Tuesday, 1/21 (the day after MLK, Jr. day),
since there has been very little demand for tutoring during the 1st
week of semesters past.
I think we have a quality group of tutors again this semester in
Maureen O'Donnell, Kyle Thomas, Stephen Graham, Noah Hughes, Kristen
Crawford and Tyrel (Jacob) Winebarger. Additionally, our grad students
will each continue to serve one hour per week in the lab.
Encourage students NOT to wait until the day before an exam/quiz to
show up for the 1st time.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-
Syllabus, Schedule, and Suggested Homework to be posted.
