You are allowed to use:
- a scientific (non-graphing, non-programmable) calculator;
- one sheet of hand-written notes.
Note Sheet Guidelines:
- You may write on both sides of the paper.
- One sheet means one sheet. Two pages
stapled or taped together is not one sheet even if you only write on one
side of each page.
- Hand-written means that everything on the note sheet is written by hand. There should
be nothing photo-copied or computer-generated on your sheet of notes.
- Using an
inappropriate note-sheet is a form of academic misconduct.
The final is cumulative, covering everything we've done during the quarter. There is no particular emphasis on the last part of the course.
Here is a list of topics that should seem familiar and the Math 126 Final Exam Archive. I recommend working on exams that include answers, but you should consult the answers only after making every attempt to solve the problems on your own.
Announcements:
- Here are the answers to Exam II. Any questions on the grading need to go through
Dr. Taggart by Friday, March 15.
- The reading on Taylor Series is in
this packet of notes.
- Your second midterm is Tuesday, March 5, in quiz section. The exam will cover everything we've done since the second midterm, starting with the second part of section 13.3 (unit tangent, normal, and binormal vectors and normal and oscullating planes) and ending with section 15.5 (mass and center of mass). You will
be allowed to use a scientific (NOT graphing) calculator on the exam and one
sheet (front and back) of hand-written notes. Everything on your sheet of
notes MUST BE HAND-WRITTEN: nothing computer-generated and nothing

The tutors at CLUE will be holding a review session on Monday, February 4, from 8 to 10 p.m. in MGH 389.
- For those students looking for an add code, I do not overload my courses and I do not keep a waiting list. Come to class the first
week and keep checking on-line enrollments. The only way to get in
is to find an opening online.
- During the first week, in Tuesday's quiz section, your TA will do some examples of problems involving spheres and let you practice taking some derivatives and doing some integrals to remind you of the skills you learned in Math 124 and 125. On Thursday, your TA will introduce the mechanics of dot and cross products---in lecture on Friday, I will assume that you understand how to compute dot and cross products and talk about what they mean. Your first homework assignment is due on Tuesday, January 15, at 11 p.m.
