| The whole course, in just a few pages | I wrote this summary for a calc 1 class at Rutgers a few years ago. Maybe it can help some people, but you still need to practice. | 12/10/2009 |

Review material for the final exam (Information was added on Monday morning, December 14.) | 12/8/2009 | |
| Answers to the second exam | Here are detailed answers to the second exam. Please tell me any
comments or corrections. Copies of the answers were distributed with
graded exams in lecture on Tuesday, November 24. Here is a discussion of the grades and grading. See here for specific information about changes in the point values of problems 7 and 8. | 11/24/2009 |
| The second exam | Here is a version of the second exam, in a somewhat more compact format. Graded exams were returned in lecture on Tuesday, December 24. | 11/24/2009 |
| The tenth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the third problem on Wednesday, November 18. | 11/12/2009 |
| Review material for the second exam | 11/9/2009 | |
| The ninth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the fourth problem on Wednesday, November 11. | 11/6/2009 |
| The eighth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the second problem on Wednesday, November 4. | 10/30/2009 |
| The seventh workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the fourth problem on Wednesday, October 28. Pictures are likely to be useful, but please be sure they are correctly and clearly labeled. | 10/23/2009 |
| The sixth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the third
problem on Wednesday, October 21. This problem asks you to
find what is called the bounding box of the ellipse.
The geometric situation for the first problem, with the
complicated formulas involving arcsin and arctan, is shown to the
right along with the two parallel tangent lines for the
special value of a which is requested in the problem. If you worked on
this problem and found it annoying, this picture might help.

| 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 Tuesday, October 13. Ms. O'Sullivan has kindly supplied a correction ($10 should be $12 in the solution to problem 6) and this correction has been made in the version posted. I thank her. Here is a discussion of the grades and grading. | 10/13/2009 |
| 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 Tuesday, October 13. | 10/13/2009 |

problem on Wednesday, October 7. | 10/2/2009 |
| The writeups for the composition problem (problem 2 of workshop 3) showed that many people had difficulties with domain and range of composition. This discussion of composition and domains and ranges for two familiar functions (sine and ln) may help these people. | 10/2/2009 | |
| Review material for the first exam | 9/29/2009 | |
| The fourth workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the second

A solution and a discussion of the writeup requested for the first workshop problem is now available here and we urge students to read this together with their returned papers and learn more about what is wanted. | 9/9/2009 |
| The first workshop | Please hand in a writeup of the second
problem on Wednesday, September 9. Remember, writeups will be graded both for mathematical content and exposition. Please use complete sentences, label your diagrams, and explain your computations. More is in your textbook, and here. | 9/2/2009 |
| The diagnostic exam | The diagnostic exam which was given at the first lecture. Here are correct (I hope!) answers to this exam, and here is a discussion about the grading if you are curious. | 9/2/2009 |
| Information sheet | Information sheet handed out at the first lecture. | 8/27/2009 |
| I've taught Math 151 (same material as this course)
a large number of times before. I most recently taught Math 151 (with
the same syllabus and standards as this course) in fall 2007. A great
deal of material (including exams with solutions, review material, and
a course diary) is available here.
I'll probably copy lots of stuff from that semester.
There is also material available from the fall 2006 semester here but please realize that a different textbook was used, so course content may not be identical. | ||
