Things to do and information
You should be keeping up with the syllabus. Your life will be better in this course if you glance at material ahead of time, before the lectures. And your life will be almost surely unsuccessful in this course if you don't do most of the homework problems: practice!
Conclusion
The course is over. I thank students for their efforts. Grades have been submitted to the Registrar's computer system late Monday afternoon, May 10. Information about course grades is here.

Answers to the second exam
Here are detailed answers to one version of the second exam. Please tell me any comments or corrections. Copies of the answers will be returned with graded exams in lecture on Tuesday, November 22.
On the exams as distributed, problem 1 was worth 16 points and problem 4 was worth 14 points. This was incorrect, and the point values should be interchanged. This is corrected in the posted versions of the exam and the answers.

Old Math 251 material
I most recently taught this course in the spring 2010 semester. Here is a link to a great deal of course material from that semester, including exams and review material (with solutions to most problems), and course diaries (which I will likely use extensively).

Previous to that semester, I taught the course in the fall 2008 semester. Here is a link to a great deal of course material from that semester, including exams and review material (with solutions to most problems).

I taught this course in spring 2006 with a different textbook but the order of the topics and the difficulty of the examples are much the same in both textbooks (the one used then and the one used in this course). So what's in this link is quite relevant. Again, there are old exams, review problems, solutions to most of the exam and review problems, a detailed diary, and other material.

Less relevant but a bit more recent is material for an honors version of Math 251 which I taught in fall 2006. Here is a link to that material.
