The grade record has been updated with final exam scores and course grades.
Some final exam statistics: median: 40, mean: 39.44, maximum: 74, 1st quartile: 29, 3rd quartile: 50.
I will be posting statistics about the final exam late this week. I will be updating the grade record, too, with your final exam score and course grade. I will hold a special office hour this week on Friday, December 17, from 1 to 2 PM if you'd like to see your final exam. If you miss that, you can always stop in next quarter to see your final.
Enjoy the break!
Practice problems for the final exam.
On problem 1, note that the wheel is rotating horizontally (like a carousel),
nor vertically (like a ferris wheel).
Also be sure to check out the many old finals, available at the materials
website (link on the right).
Final exam info can be found via the link in the left column. In particular, time and location are there.
Here's an animation to illustrate the idea of
problem 22.5.
Here's a few examples of what can be done with parametric equations (pdf).
Here's an animation showing the changing slope of the tangent line to y=bx at the point (0,1).
The grade record (at right) has been updated with current estimated course grades. Please check the recorded scores for accuracy, and let your TA know if you find any errors.
Midterm 2 solutions are available. There were two versions:
Midterm 2 statistics are available.
Just two graphs of sin(x^2).

The grade record is now available.
Here's an example of how to graph a rational function.
We'll do an example like this in class on Monday.
Midterm 1 statistics are here.
Solutions to midterm 1 are available. There were four versions.
problem 1 had g(x)=x+1
problem 1 had g(x)=x+2
problem 1 had g(x) = 2|x-2|+...
problem 1 had g(x) = 2|x+1|+...
These solutions have only been minimally proofread, so I may be updating them. If you find an error, please wait until 10/28, check again, and if the error is still there, please let me know.
The latest homework assignment is up. Check the link at right.
Since there is a midterm next thursday, it is important that you use some of this weekend to study. You should be finishing all assigned homework problems, through chapter 8. In addition, I recommend going over all examples from lecture. Also, take a look at the Materials Website (link at right) where you'll find many old midterm exams that I (and others) have given in Math 120. These are useful for getting an idea of the style and length of the exam.
Here's a baseball-related example of a multipart function.
Here's a page about an example we'll be talking about on Monday (10/11).
Welcome to Math 120 sections C and E, Autumn Quarter 2004!
Keep checking this site - there will be lots
of useful stuff available here over the course of the
quarter.
