MATH 150.10
Tuesday, Friday 9:30 - 11:20 am,
Room 415 HW
-
Tom Lehrer is a mathematician who
wrote and sang satirical songs in the 60's. Here is a link to Tom Lehrer singing songs
about calculus
The official text for the course is
Essential Calculus by James Stewart, Second Edition
Here is
a link for an e-book version of the text:
Each problem set is in two parts. First
there are the sets listed below. These problems will
not be graded. You should definitely do the first few problems and those
marked by an asterisk (*). Some of the problems on the exams will be modeled
on these problems.
The second part is a list of problems that will be administered on by an online
homework program called Lumen.
These problems will be computer graded and count towards 10% of your
final grade.

You must complete the online homework sets before each of the quizzes that
will test those topics. The last Lumen sets are due 10:00AM the day after the
final. I will submit
the final grades a few days after the final. DO NOT ASK FOR AN EXTENSION. For each section you must do the homework problems before
the exam for that section. This should be obvious. If you have not done the
homework before it is due you are not using the homework effectively.
If you are having problems with the class I recommend attending the
Dolciani Math Learning Center workshops.
Information about the Center is on Blackboard. I believe there will be 6 workshops. I will add ½ point to your quiz total
for every workshop attended.
There is information about the Learning Center
on Blackboard. Go to course materials.
You will find a power point
presentation about the services offered and a file with scheduling information.
Be careful how you enter your answers online. The expression 2/3x^3/4 means
2 divided by 3 times x raised to the 3rd power. Everything is then
divided by 4. If you
wish to enter 2/3 times x raised to the 3/4 power you have to write (2/3)
x^(3/4). Approximately 90 percent
of the time when Lumen does not accept your correct answer the problem is due
to incorrect use of parenthesis.
THE EXACT DATE OF THE EXAMS WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE EXAM.
Homework for
Math 150
(These are in
addition to the Lumen problems.
They are for your edification and will not count towards your grade.)
Exam
I
sections
1.3 - 2.7
You will not
have to prove any theorems!! However there will be problems which
depend on understanding the statements of
(i) The intermediate
value theorem (Theorem 9 page 52)
and
(ii) A function that has
a derivative is continuous (theorem 4 page 88)
You are
expected to be able to apply the rules for limits and the derivative,
There will be a related rates problem. There will be problems on the
exam that require some or all of the above. There will be multiple
choice questions.
Bring a
pencil!!!
Exam
II
The exam will cover material from the last exam-->3.7
A
PARTIAL list of topics that will be on the exam:There will be a
problem on Linear approximation and Differentials e.g. Problems of
type 11-14 or problems of type 17-18 page 139. There may be a problem
on the Mean value theorem, Page 154, e.g. Problems 9-12 Page 157. A
problem on how the derivative effects the shape of a curve i.e
sections 3.3-3.4. There will be an Optimization problem (section
3.5), and questions on anti derivatives (section 3.7)
BRING
A PENCIL!!!
Exam
III.
There will be a problem on
Riemann sums, as in problem 2, page 221 problems 15-17 on page 222.
There will be problems on displacement as on page 232 #59-60. There
will be an area between curves problem. Of course this is not a
complete list of what will appear on the exam which includes material
up to and including section 7.3.
