Need practice with derivatives? Try as many exercises from
Guichard's Calculus section
3.5 as you can. Then try problems 1, 3, 8, and 9 from section
4.7.
Midterm Review Problems for your own benefit. You may turn some or all of them in on Thursday, October 17 for extra credit.
Take-Home Midterm over Hendrick's Weekend (to be given at the end of class on Thursday, October 17)
Assignment 5 due Thursday, October 31 Problem 5 is extra credit. Hint: Try to explain it first without the intermediate value theorem.
Exam corrections due Monday, November 7 On a *separate* sheet of paper, find and correct all mistakes you made on the midterm. Use any resources (including me, your peers, the math tutor, etc.) that you need. Turn the corrections in together with your exam. If you received 90% or better on your midterm, also write up one of the extra problems from the end of the exam. This assignment will count as a quiz grade.
Assignment 7 due Tuesday, November 19. Find the section in your copy of Stewart called "Antiderivatives." Do six problems from the exercises involving finding a *particular* antiderivative of a given function. Make sure that you do at least one problem involving trig functions, one involving exponential functions, and one involving the natural log. Then choose a problem from the last 10 problems in the exercises and do it. Be sure to write out (clearly) the questions you choose, so that I can grade them. Warning: there are a few problems involving inverse trig functions. We haven't covered these. However, they are listed in the table of antiderivatives in the section, so look that over so that you know what to watch out for.
Assignment for Tuesday, November 26. Complete the notes from section 5.2, other than the last example involving the midpoint rule. Use any resources you need, and feel free to email me if you get stuck on something. I will check your work for completion on Tuesday and will count it as a quiz grade.
Final exam review problems. We will go over any of these you want to discuss in class on Tuesday, so come prepared with questions.
