| Answers to the second exam | Here are detailed answers to version A of the second exam with
shorter answers for version B. Please tell me any
comments or corrections. Copies of the answers will be returned with
graded exams in lecture on Monday, April 26. Here is a discussion of the grades and grading. | 4/26/2009 |
| The second exam | Here is a version of the second exam, in a somewhat more compact format. Graded exams will be returned in lecture on Monday, April 26. | 4/26/2009 |
| Sequences & series methods | Some students have talked to me and exchanged e-mail, discussing
methods to use in analyzing sequence and series problems. After
several exchanges, I attempted to describe the methods "we" know (in
152, so far). Please let me know if this is helpful, or if I've left
something (important!) out. The second exam does not cover the
Taylor series stuff (lower leftmost part of the outline).
This is not an effort to indicate how to look at infinite sequences or series for the rest of your life -- it is a just an attempt to organize what's been done in the course. | 4/12/2009 |
| The tenth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the second
problem on Thursday, April 16. Some useful comments are here. More stuff added on Tuesday, April 14! Please look if you need help. | 4/10/2009 |
| Review material for the second exam | 4/10/2009 | |
| The formula sheet for the second exam | This will be handed out with the second exam. Please: see both what is included and what is not included. | 4/7/2009 |
| The ninth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the fourth
problem on Thursday, April 9. Explain your computations! | 4/3/2009 |
| Logic and logical words | This is a very brief discussion about some of the words used with logical implications. Math 152 students should read this. Heck, anyone who signs a lease for an apartment or who signs a credit card agreement should read this. | 3/27/2009 |
| The eighth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the third
problem on Thursday, April 2. Here you can find further information. | 3/27/2009 |
| The seventh workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the first
problem on Thursday, March 26. Here you can find a link which will likely be very helpful. Note (thanks to Mr. D'Souza) that the window in part c) should be [–.5,.5]x[–.01,.01]. | 3/12/2009 |
| The sixth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the
second problem on Thursday, March 12.
There should be some explanation, but this problem is fairly straightforward, so the explanation does not have to be very long. But please be careful about the improper integral. | 3/6/2009 |
| Answers to the first exam | Here are detailed answers to version A of the first exam with
shorter answers for other versions. Please tell me any
comments or corrections. Copies of the answers will be returned with
graded exams in lecture on Monday, March 1. The answers to "other versions" of problem 8 have been fixed thanks to an inquiry by Ms. Gagliardi (5/3/2009). Here is a discussion of the grades and grading. Students who got below 40 should read this. | 3/2/2009 |
| The first exam | Here is a version of the first exam, in a somewhat more compact format. Graded exams will be returned in lecture on Monday, March 1. | 3/2/2009 |
| The fifth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the first problem on Thursday, March 5. | 2/26/2009 |
| Discussion of algorithm | Here are some comments on the word algorithm which was mentioned in class during our investigation of partial fractions. The comments are quotes from Donald Knuth, probably the world's foremost computer scientist. | 2/18/2009 |
| Review material for the first exam | 2/18/2009 | |
| The fourth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the
third problem on Thursday, February 19. I can't think of any helpful comments specific to this problem. If you take any lab courses, the idea of "mean-square error", is significant. | 2/12/2009 |
| The formula sheet for the first exam | This will be handed out with the first exam. Please: see both what is included and what is not included. | 2/10/2009 |
| The third workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the
third problem on Thursday, February 12. Here are some specific comments on writing a solution to this problem -- further comments which you should read have been added on Tuesday morning, February 10). | 2/5/2009 |
| Calculator programs | Here are calculator programs for numerical integration (the Midpoint, Trapezoid, and Simpson's Rule approximations) written by the course coordinator. | 2/2/2009 |
| The second workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the
fourth problem on Thursday, February 5. Here are some specific comments on writing a solution to this problem. | 1/29/2009 |
| The first workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the
fourth problem on Thursday, January 29. Remember write complete English sentences; check spelling; label graphs; neatness counts; staple if more than 1 page! At least one person who might read your work has a short attention span and a low threshold for irritation! Here are some specific comments on writing a solution to this problem. | 1/22/2009 |
| Information sheet | Information sheet handed out at the first lecture. | 1/23/2009 |
| I've taught Math 152 a large number of times
before. I hope that finally this semester I will learn the material
and move on. The most
recent occasion was the spring 2008 semester when we first used the
Rogawski textbook. Therefore the course material for that semester is
most relevant to what we will do. I'll probably copy much of
what I do from a year ago, so you can look there if you'd like to
anticipate my efforts.
There is also material available from the spring 2007 semester and the fall 2001 semester, when a different textbook was used, so course content may not be identical. Also the fall 2001 course was one small section, another source of difference. Here are links to the course material for those instantiations. The material, which is quite extensive, includes exams with solutions, review material, and a course diary. | ||
