STUDY GUIDE:

 

·        Midterm I material: Taylor Notes, 12.1-12.4

Practice: Practice Midterm I (Solutions), Midterm I (Solutions),  126B&C Midterm I and Solutions

·        Midterm II material: 12.5, 12.6, 10.1-10.3,  13.1-13.4, 14.1, 14.3, 14.4(tangent planes only)

Practice: Sample Midterm I, II (Solutions I, II). Midterm II  (Solutions).

·        After Midterm II material: 14.4, 14.7, 15.1-15.5

Practice: Sample problems and Answers

·        Sample (old) finals: Autumn (also worksheet 7), Spring and Winter 2006 (recommended, to be discussed at the review sessions). Answers to Spring 2006 Final

 

·        And  ALSO 

-         More sample exams (See Math126 Old Exams link). Cautions on old finals: You may ignore questions about osculating planes and circles;
Problem 3 on the Autumn 2005 should ask for the parametric equations (plural) of the line. On the Spring 2005 final, Problem 2 should be
ignored (on a topic we skipped), and in Problem 6, "Maclaurin series" means Taylor series centered at b = 0.
