Student Guide:
Section 8.3 covers an application from Physics: Center of Mass. The topic starts with a summation of discrete data and eventually replaces the summation with an integral. As always, the most important thing here is understanding the process of modelling a problem with an integral.
This is the week of Midterm #2. Depending on the quarter and instructor, the material covered on the second midterm will vary. Ask your instructor for precise information on the sections covered. Keep these comments in mind as you look over old midterms in the archive. The midterm will probably be given in TA section. Many instructors devote one lecture period to an in-class review session, the day before the midterm.
Center of Mass may be covered before or after the midterm. When studying this topic, students often have difficulty with the concept of the moment of a system.
Depending on the pacing of your class, your instructor might start differential equations on Friday.
The short worksheet Improper.pdf is optional, intended to be given Tuesday, before the midterm. It reviews Improper Integrals and approximation using the Trapezoid Rule.
