Announcements:
- Announced 5/8/2013: Check out the postings below:
- Announced 5/3/2013: Please see if the following postings will help:
- Announced 4/29/2013: Here are solutions to Math 125 B Midterm 1. Grades will be up by Friday. Also check out the new postings below:
- Announced 4/26/2013: Here are some new postings.
- Announced 4/19/2013: Check out these new postings:
- Announced 4/10/2013: Some postings to check out:
- Here is a a list of the integrals you can do in one step. Up to section 5.4, the only integration method is "simplify and hope". That is, simplify your integrand, and hope that you end up with something in this table. If not, you can't do the integral at this point in the quarter (but you can always approximate a definite integral with a Reimann sum).
- Here is a further discussion to help you think about Section 5.5: Substitution and change of variable. Please read this right before or after the lecture on 5.5 as a supplement.
- Here are 24 integrals that should all be quick and easy for you before exam 1 (they only require simplification or substitution along with the basic integrals). And here are the solutions (although you shouldn't need them because you should know how to check your work).
- Here is an old quiz that I gave on u-substitution (solutions included).
- Here is a link to the departmental exam archive if you want to get a jump on studying (and if you want to assess how well you are understanding the material so far).
Also, here is a link to my exam archive (the one's labeled honors tend to be more challenging, so understand that, but you do have the tools to complete them as well).
- Announced 4/8/2013: Here is an overview of chapter 5.
- Announced 4/3/2013: I will post several review sheets throughout the term, so check back frequently. Here is my first group of postings (they can also be found at the lower right part of this page):
- Here is a summary of the steps in constructing a Riemann sum (You may want to bring this to class).
- List of Basic Antiderivatives. Currently, our only integration techinique is to simplify the function algebraically into a sum of functions in this table. With our current methods, we can only find antiderivatives of sums and constant multiples of functions that look EXACTLY like the functions in this table.
- Riemann Sums (pdf): This is a copy of a couple of the overheads from my 5.1 lecture concerning approximating rectangles. In addition, it includes most of the solution to problem 5.1/24 on the second page.
- Calculus I Review (pdf): Contains a table of the basic derivatives, the basic derivative applications, and finishes with a review of trig and algebra (you received a copy if you attended Thursday's quiz section).
- Announced 3/22/2013: Welcome to Math 125. This webpage contains the course syllabus, the homework schedule, a course calendar and links to Math 126 material. Throughout the quarter I will also be posting review sheets and announcements. Please check back regularly.
For now, you should get the required texts which include:
- Calculus, by James Stewart (this is a custom text for UW -- you may also use Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 7th Edition, by Stewart). You may prefer to buy this as an eBook bundled with your homework access code. You will complete homework through an online website called webassign. If you have NOT used webassign with this book, then you must purchase an access code. The least expensive way to do this is to get the departmental negotiated rate through this website: http://www.cengagebrain.com/micro/uwmathcalc. For $70, you will get the access code (which is good for Math 124, 125, 126, and 324) and the eBook. If you have already used webassign with this book (perhaps you took Math 124 at UW) and purchased a lifetime of edition code, then you can just log in and you should see the class and the assignments. During the first two weeks, you can log into webassign as a guest. You are welcome to do this if you are still evaluating the class. But if you intend to take the course you should purchase the access code as soon as possible.
- Your first homework assignment will be visible the first day of class. Most assignments will be due on the Wednesday of the week after they appear (typically about 10 days after they first become visible). The most accurate due dates can be seen on webassign.
- In Math 125, each assignment is broken into three parts (Labeled HW 1A, HW 1B, HW 1C for instance). This is for your convenience in breaking up your work, but all three of these will be due at the same time.
- Log in to webassign to see this and all subsequent homework assignments. (How To Use Webassign)
- Once you type in an answer for a particular problem (or part of a problem) on webassign, a submit button appears. You submit one problem (or part of a problem if you like) at a time and your points for that problem are stored as part of your total score. You are allowed 5 attempts at each answer in Webassign (except for T/F and multiple choice questions, for which you are typically allowed one try).
