Tuesday October 1 – College is closed Tuesday October 8 – No Class
Friday November 29 – No classYou should complete the online homework sets a few weeks after each of the
midterm exams that will test those topics. The last Lumen sets are due the day after the final. Your Lumen account will expire at the end of the term,
but I will submit the final grades a few days after the final. DO NOT ASK FOR AN EXTENSION. You must do the homework
problems before they are examined. This should be obvious. If you have not done
the homework before it is due you are not using the homework effectively.
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.
Homework for Math 150
Dates of exams may change. Don't forget to periodically refresh this web page
(otherwise you may not see the changes.)First Homework: 1.3-1.4.
Assignment 2: 1.5-1.6.Assignment 3: 2.1-2.3.
Assignment 4: 2.4-2.5.
Assignment 5: 2.6-2.7.
Exam I Friday October
11 will cover 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 may 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!!!
Assignment 6: 2.8, 3.1-3.2.
Assignment 7: 3.3-3.4Assignment
8- 3.5, 3.7
Exam II, Tuesday November 5
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 affects 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) YOU MAY NOT USE A GRAPHING CALCULATOR.
YOU MAY NOT USE A CALCULATOR THAT CAN COMPUTE DERIVATIVES.
Assignment 9- 4.1-4.3.
Assignment 10: 4.4-4.5.
Assignment 11: 7.1-7.3.
Exam III. Tuesday Dec 3
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 that will appear on the exam which includes material up to
and including section 7.3.
BRING A PENCIL!
