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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
