NEW!!! Undergraduate Research Opportunities in
Mathematics, Dec 2010 - Apr 2011. 6
- 9 undergraduate research stipends of up to $1000 are available to assist
students conducting mathematics research. Details about Research Projects and
Mentors are on page 2 of the flier. If you have any queries about any of the
topics feel free to come by and discuss it with me before formally approaching
the mentors.
Lecture Calendar - The following lecture plans are
flexible.
Homework Assignments - The following homework assignments are
provisional and will be confirmed on a day to day basis in class.
Test 1
Prep/Review - Test 1 is
on Tuesday 5th October. There is no homework due next Thursday
and so I would like you all to treat the set of review problems as homework and
write solutions to all the problems. I will post solutions on the weekend, say
between Friday night and Saturday morning here. Attempt all the problems
(give yourselves 2 hours, say) and write your own solutions before looking at
the solutions file. Here are the TEST 1
solutions.
Test 2 Prep/Review: Part 1 (Differentiation) and Part 2 (Integration) - Test 2 is on Tuesday 23rd of November. As before, there is no homework due on the day of the
review, Thursday 18th. Solutions to the review should appear here on
the weekend - Differentiation
Solutions, Integration
Solutions and Solutions to
end-of-class problems from 11/11. Attempt all the problems (give yourselves
2 hours, say) and write your own solutions before looking at the solutions
file. TEST 2 solutions will be posted
before Thanksgiving to give you an idea of how you fared.
WARNING! These solutions leave out plenty of detail
and should not be considered as model answers for your test - as with Test 1,
you should do your rough work on scratch paper (which need not be submitted)
and then write our neat solutions with details on how you arrived at your
solution on the test (which should be submitted!). So, this time round and on
the final, there shall be no partial credit for answers that come out of nowhere.
Final Review - Professor
Bill Meeks (UMass.
Amherst) has this wonderful Calculus
Review. Especially work on his files titled - Solutions to old exam
problems - as always, try the problems yourself before looking at his
solutions; and this is where having a LaTex Beamer presentation
comes in handy! Here is the Chapter 16
Review. Work on the problems, solutions
will be posted here Friday morning, so you will have time to go to either
the MathLab or work with friends before the extra
review on Saturday. We shall have an extra review session on Saturday 11th
December at 4pm, there will be a sign on my office
door specifying the exact location.
