News & Announcements
05/12 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!!
05/06 Final Exam Reviews/Schedule
Friday (May 6): Office hours 8-12:30pm.
Monday (May 9): Office hour 8-9am
[Galois Theory final 9-11:30am Walker 105]
Office 11:45am-12:30pm.
Tuesday (May 10): Review session from 9am until whenever in Walker 103A
Office hours Tuesday afternoon (by appointment)
Wednesday (May 11): Office hours 9am-noon
Final Exam 3-5:30pm in Walker 314 (usual room)
I don't plan to do anything structured during the review sessions. I just
plan on being available to work extra examples and answer questions. So
come prepared with problems that are troubling you. I'm not sure how long
the review sessions will go. We'll just do vector calculus until we're
tired out.
Our final exam will cover Chapter 15 (after the section on curl and divergence -
although reviewing the beginning of the chapter isn't a bad idea). Skip problems
that are just line integrals with respect to arc length (like from Test #1) The
exam also covers section 14.5 (surface area) and the Supplemental Line Integral Notes.
The old final exams should provide some helpful review problems. Be warned: Older
exams may include irrelevant review problems. Also, if you look through old final
tests (usually test 3's), you will find a few extra line integral and fundamental
theorem of line integrals problems.
I also highly recommend working through as many problems from the
Supplemental Line Integral Notes as you can.
Dont forget! You may have note cards (as provided in class). I won't be providing
formulas on the final exam itself.
Grades: All quizzes and homeworks have been graded your final quiz and homework
grade (with drops already counted) is posted on AsULearn. The Test #3 corrections
have been graded (and returned) as well. Your final Test #3 score is also posted
on AsULearn.
I will be replacing your lowest test score with the final exam (if it helps). So
the final exam has a big potential to raise your final grade! Study hard!!
04/26 Test #3 (.pdf)
Ok. Test #3 is back and graded. Yes, it was a blood bath. It is important to fix
these mistakes before the final exam, so instead of a hefty curve I've decided to
have you do test corrections.
You have until Tuesday (May 3rd) to turn them in. I would like you to
rework any part of any problem where you missed points. Write up your corrections
(new solutions) neatly please. Then staple your corrections to the top of your
original test and turn them in TOGETHER.
When I grade the corrections, I will give back (up to) half of the points that you
missed. Example: Old score = 60. Test corrections = 90. Then 90-60 = 30 point
improvement, so 15 points back. New score = 60 + 15 = 75.
If you already have a "high score", I will add in a "bonus" and make doing corrections
worth your time.
Going forward...

What is left?
(1) Today we had our last quiz, so no quizzes left. I have canceled the final quiz.
We'll use that day to make up lost time.
(2) Our final Maple assignment (Homework #4) is due Monday, May 2nd.
(3) Test #3 Corrections are due Tuesday, May 3rd.
(4) Our final exam is Wednesday, May 11th from 3-5:30pm.
Grades...
-=-=-=-=-
(1) We have had 7 quizzes. I will drop your lowest quiz.
(2) We have 4 Maple assignments (1 yet to be turned in). I will drop the lowest
Maple assignment. If you are happy with your scores on Homeworks 1-3, you can
skip Homework 4.
(3) We have had 3 tests. You can still improve your Test #3 score by doing test
corrections.
(4) I will replace your lowest test score with the final exam (if it helps). This
leads to the question, "I've done well with Tests 1 and 2. Why should I bother
with test corrections? My final can replace Test 3, correct?" This is technically
true. However, if you don't fix what went wrong with Test 3, you are HIGHLY LIKELY
to BOMB the final. Please, please, please, do the test corrections. It's like
early studying for the final exam.
Our final exam will only cover chapter 15 (after curl and divergence). Even so, it will
feel cumulative because of the nature of the material in chapter 15. Don't miss class!
I will try to arrange a review day soon. Look at your final exam schedules so we
can pick out a good day for a review session before the final exam.
04/19 Maple Homework #4 (.mw) is due Monday, May 2nd.
Maple assignments can be found here.
04/14 Test #3 is Monday. It will cover Chapter 14 (except for 14.5 on surface area
which we haven't covered yet). You may want to look over sections 10.4 & 11.7
(introductions to polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates) if you are
having trouble with those coordinate systems.
Test #3 also covers and sections 15.1 & 15.2. As well as, testing whether
vector fields are conservative and constructing potential functions [See the
Supplemental Line Integral Notes problems 8-15.]
Old tests. Here are a list of relevant review problems:
[Many of the more recent tests don't have problems about checking to see if a
vector field is conservative, finding a potential function, computing divergence,
and curl. Look at older tests for these.]

15.3: 1-7(odd), 17, 23, 25
From the supplemental line integral notes: Problems 1-7 on page 10.
Test #1 is Wednesday. It will cover the parts of sections 10.2-10.3,
11.1-11.5, 12.1-12.5, & 15.3 which we discussed in class.
Old tests can be found here.
Test #1 from many of the past semesters should give you a pretty
good idea of what to expect. Don't forget to study section 15.3
(that stuff is not covered in most of the old Test #1's).
Also, keep in mind that Summer tests are generally too long
for a regular 50 minute period.
You can get an idea of what I might ask by looking at...

With the above discount code you can download Maple for $75 (instead

campus computer, you do not necessarily have to purchase Maple for
your home computer but many students find it helpful to have a home
