Announcements:
- Announced 12/7/2010: TA Natalie Shiels will be holding a review session
for the final exam on Thursday, December 9, from 8 to 10 p.m. in Denny 216. All Math 124I students are invited to attend.
- Announced 12/7/2010: The Math Study Center will be open until 9:30 p.m.
on Friday, December 10.
- Announced 12/7/2010: Here are the answers to Exam II.
- Announced 12/4/2010: Here is a link to the Math 124 Final Exam archive.
- Announced 11/22/2010: QUIZ SECTION IS CANCELED FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23. The exam will be held in quiz section on Tuesday, November 30.
- Announced 11/20/2010: Here is a slightly more
detailed review than the one I did in class.
- Announced 11/15/2010: Your second midterm will be held on Tuesday, November 23,
in quiz section. The exam will cover everything we've done since the first midterm, which includes sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, 3.10, 4.1, 4.3 and the material
on calculus with parametric curves. On the exam, you will be
allowed a scientific (NOT graphing) calculator and one sheet of hand-written notes.
To prepare for the midterm, you want to do as many problems as possible. (Exams
do not test what you understand, they test what you can DO.) Concentrate on
getting a firm grasp on the assigned homework. The following old midterms
will give you an idea of the length of the midterm and the types of questions
you can expect to see:
- Announced 11/1/2010: Here are the answers to the first midterm:
- Version Alpha (the denominator of the function f(x) in #1 is 3-x)
- Version Beta (the denominator of the function f(x) in #1 is 5-x)
- Announced 10/19/2010: Your first midterm will be held on Tuesday, October 26,
in quiz section. The exam will cover everything we've done so far, up through
derivatives of trig functions (section 3.3). On the exam, you will be
allowed a scientific (NOT graphing) calculator and one sheet of hand-written notes.
To prepare for the midterm, you want to do as many problems as possible. (Exams
do not test what you understand, they test what you can DO.) Concentrate on
getting a firm grasp on the assigned homework. Anything that is on the
assigned homework should be considered "fair game" for the exam.
This includes every problem on Homeworks 1, 2, and 3, and problem #1-22 on
Homework 4 (which is due the week after the exam).
The following old midterms
will give you an idea of the length and format of the midterm.
The Spring 2006 and Spring 2004 exams do NOT have any problems from Chapter 3.
Make sure you've included that material in your study plan.
- Announced 10/5/2010: I've posted a link to a survey for the
Mathematical Association of America on our discussion board.
See this thread for the link.
- Announced 9/28/2010: You'll need an access code for Webassign in order
to get the homework. You can purchase a code in three ways:
- bundled with the textbook at the University Bookstore.
- bundled with an electronic copy of the textbook
here; or
- all by itself here. (This is useful if you've bought a used copy of the text.)
- Announced 9/26/2010: Some notes about the first week of the
quarter.
- You will complete a worksheet in quiz section on Thursday of this
week and Tuesday of most of the following weeks. You are responsible for bringing a copy of the worksheet to quiz
section. See the "worksheets" link on the right-hand sidebar for this
and all subsequent worksheets. Worksheets count
toward the "Participation" portion of your grade.
- Your first homework assignment is due at 11:00 p.m. on Thursday,
October 7. Log in to Webassign
to see this and all subsequent homework assignments. Our Webassign representatives, Eric and Eric, have offered to hold an optional orientation to Webassign for any interested parties on Thursday, September 30, in Smith 102. Drop by any time between 3:30 and 5:00 p.m. for a brief presentation and/or personal assistance.
