Final exams are being graded. I hope to update the Grade Record by this Friday. It will have final exam scores and actual course grades.

I will be in my office, Padelford C-543, from noon to 1 PM on Friday if you would like to stop by to see your final exam. You can also stop by any time after the start of autumn quarter.

June 1, 2005

The Math Study Center will be open until 9:30 PM this Thursday and Friday, and then will be closed for the quarter.

A grade record has been posted. The purpose of this is to give you a chance to make sure that your scores have been recorded correctly. Please check the record ASAP and notify your TA if any of your scores are recorded incorrectly. Your TA will need to see homework, worksheet, or exam for which the grade was recorded incorrectly in order to make any change.

The grade record also includes an estimate of your course grade. This is only an estimate: the final exam is yet to come, and will change the curve used to determine your grade. The lowest homework score and the lowest worksheet score has been dropped in the calculation of the course grade.

Be sure to do the problems from 3.11 listed on the homework schedule (i.e., part 3 of week 7 homework) before the midterm.

Notice that the exam will basically cover all of chapter 3, so the true-false quiz and the problems on pages 271-277 are good review and practice.

Here is an old midterm 2 of mine. Your exam will probably be a little longer, and will include stuff on sections 3.10 and 3.11. Pay attention to the parametric problems you've worked in the homework, too.

Quiz section this Thursday is cancelled, in light of the fact that there is no homework due Friday. Enjoy the excellent weather!

Midterm Exam 1 is on Tuesday April 19 in quiz section.

You will have 80 minutes to complete the exam.

The exam will potentially cover everything we've covered in the homework, worksheets and lectures, through section 2.7 of the text.

There is no homework due the week of the exam. The next assignment will be due on April 29.

Here is an old exam of mine. Take a look at it for some idea about the kinds of exams I write. However, keep in mind that this is from 2003, and this was written to be completed in 50 minutes, not the 80 that you will have.

There are many old 124 midterm exams available at the 124 Materials Website (link at right). Here is a direct link to the exam listing.

Here is a page with some graphics and discussion of the functions sin(1/x) and x sin(1/x).

There have been some questions regarding the text. In particular, what version of the text is necessary. Here I hope to make some clarifications.

The basic text is Calculus, by James Stewary, early transcendentals version, single variable version. It contains 11 chapters, which will be covered in Math 124 and Math 125. In Math 124 we will be using the first four chapters only of the text.

The only other text that works is one that does not say "single variable version". This is a larger, more expensive text, which would contain more chapters, which are currently covered in Math 124, 125, and 126.

Here is the UW bookstore listing, showing these two book choices. You only need one of these books. Also shown there is an optional student solution manual.
