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.

A Puzzle for the Holidays!

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.
