Announcements:
- Announced 6/7/2007: The final grades have been posted.
- The median course grade is 3.1.
- The median final exam score is 76 out of 100.
- Have a good summer. Please check out my Math 126 website. You are welcome to use my review sheets in the future.
- Announced 5/23/2007: Here are some final postings to help you with the last homework and to get you thinking about the final:
- Review of 8.3-9.4: includes center of mass and basic run through of differential equations.
- Final Exam Review Checklist: A short list of the major topics for the course.
- Make sure to also read the announcement below about grades.
- Announced 5/23/2007: The current grades have been posted. These include everything except the Final Exam, the last homework, and last worksheet. Please check that your scores are recorded accurately.
- If you have questions about your grade, please read the notes at the top of the grades page before coming to ask me.
- The current average gradepoint is about 3.0. As a result, you should not expect a major `curve' at the end of the term. That is, the gradescale will not change much. So if you are unhappy with your grade, you need to perform well on the final.
- To reiterate, the final exam is worth 33% of your grade. Here's an example:
Assume BOB currently has a 3.5 (which is 60.3 of the current 67 points).
- If BOB gets 70% on the final, then he will be on the border between a 2.8 and 2.9 (because 70% of 33 is 23.1, so he will have a total of 60.3+23.1=83.4 out of 100 for the course).
- If BOB gets 80% on the final, then he will be on the border between a 3.1 and 3.2 (because 80% of 33 is 26.4, so he will have a total of 60.3+26.4=86.7 out of 100 for the course).
- If BOB gets 90% on the final, then he will get a 3.5 in the course (because 90% of 33 is 29.7, so he will have a total of 60.3+29.7=90 out of 100 for the course).
- If BOB get 100% on the final, then he will be on the border between a 3.8 and 3.9 (because 100% of 33 is 33, so he will have a total of 60.3+33=93.3 out of 100 for the course).
- You can compute all of these yourself using the illustrated example on the syllabus. Thus, you can compute how well you need to do on the final to get particular grades in the course.
Announced 5/21/2007: Here are the solutions for exam 2.
Announced 5/9/2007: In addition to the old exams that you can find on the Math 125 materials website, I have posted my previous Exam 2 and solutions at the right of this page. Also here are some review materials to help get you through the homework and prepare you for the exam.
- Review of 7.7 and 7.8: Approximating Integrals and improper integrals.
- Exam 2 Review: REVIEW SHEET CORRECTIONS: There are two errors/corrections that need to be noted for the review sheet:
- Work to Lift a Cable should be from x=0 to x=b (instead of x=a to x=b). Please look back at the in class notes and examples for a review of this.
- For Partials Fractions (7.4) there are "three cases you must know": distinct linear, non-distinct linear, and irreducible quadratic.
Announced 5/2/2007: Here are a copy of postings to help you with integration techniques:
- Integration Flow Chart: Basic ways to identify integrals. For partial fractions you must also be able to decompose for quadratics as discuss in class.
- 12 Random Integrals: The first page contains 12 random integrals that I made up. You should try them on your own. The rest of the pages contain the solutions.
Announced 4/26/2007: Here is a page containing hints for the homework and extra practice with integration by parts.
Announced 4/25/2007: The current grades have been posted. Please check them for accuracy and please read the notes at the top of the grade page. Please note that the grade is not necessary a good indicate of the score you will have at the end of the term (there are a lot more points to be had).
Announced 4/24/2007: The problems list for section 7.4 has been changed. Please get the updated list from the homework page. In particular, we have added the problems 2b, 3b, 26, 28, and 31 (and I have eliminated others). Please note the change.
Announced 4/23/2007: Here are the solutions for Exam 1.
Announced 4/23/2007: Here is some more review/homework help material:
Announced 4/11/2007: EXAM 1 IS THURSDAY, APRIL 19! Remember the rules (Scientific calculator needed, but no graphing calculators. And you are allowed one 8.5 by 11 inch sheet of handwritten notes, front and back). Please look at the old exams on the Math 125 archive. You should also look at my old exam for this course which can be found at the right of this page. In addition, I hope you find the following review material helpful:
Announced 4/9/2007: More review sheets:
Announced 3/30/2007: Here are a couple more things to help you out:
Announced 3/28/2007: Here is a helpful postings:
- Riemann Sums (pdf): This is a copy of a couple of the overheads from my lecture concerning approximating rectangles. In addition, it includes most of the solution to problem 5.1/22 on the second page.
Announced 3/23/2007: I will post several review sheets throughout the term, so check back frequently. Here is my first:
- Calculus I Review (pdf): Contains a table of the basic derivatives, the basic derivative applications, and finishes with a review of trig and algebra.
Announced 3/21/2007: Welcome to Math 125. This webpage contains the course syllabus, the homework schedule, a course calendar and links to Math 125 material. Throughout the quarter I will be posting numerous review sheets and announcements. Please check back regularly.
