Title (with PDF links)	What is it?	Handed out or posted
The final exam	Here is a version of the final exam, in a more compact format. According to university rules, the final exams must be kept but students may inspect their graded exams. Here is a discussion of the grades and grading. Information about assigning course grades, submitted to the Registrar's computer system late Monday afternoon, May 10, is here.	5/10/2010
Review material for the final exam		4/27/2010
Answers to the second exam	Here are detailed answers to the second exam. Here is a discussion of the grades and grading. Some remarks about student responses should be read by every student in the class.	4/20/2010
The second exam	Here is the second exam. Solutions will be due at the beginning of class, Monday, April 19.	4/14/2010

The fifth set of homework problems	Solutions are due at the beginning of class, Wednesday, March 31 (stay calm: we'll have a total of 6 or 7 homework assignments in the course, so the end is near!). postponed from Monday, March 22 (because I really didn't cover enough in class on Monday, March 8).	3/24/2010
The fourth set of homework problems	Solutions are due at the beginning of class, Wednesday, March 24 postponed from Monday, March 22 (because I really didn't cover enough in class on Monday, March 8). The assignment as originally distributed had an error. In problem B, part b), there is a missing n in the exponent of the term with large parentheses. It is now corrected in the file linked here, and a message was just sent to all students in the course about this. I regret the error and I thank extravagantly Ms. Addabbo and Mr. Laflotte for bringing it to my attention. Also in part b) of B, the n should be a positive integer. I thank Mr. Ronan for bringing this to my attention. I am much too embarrassed to send another message with the further correction. I actually don't know how to compute the integrals for negative n (at least without a great deal of work!).	3/8/2010 corrected 3/22/2010 And further corrected 3/23/2010
Trig series graphs	This is an attempt to convince students that the simplicity with which power series can be differentiated is truly an amazing fact, which doesn't hold in many other specific situations.	3/8/2010
Answers to the first exam	Here are detailed answers to the first exam. A correction has been made (3/4) following a comment by Mr. Zhang for which I thank him. Please tell me any additional comments or corrections. Copies of the answers will be returned with graded exams in lecture on Monday, March 8. Here is a discussion of the grades and grading.	3/3/2010 modified 3/4/2010
The first exam	Here is a version of the first exam, in a somewhat more compact format. The embarrassing misprint in problem 2 discovered by Mr. Cantave during the exam has been correct. I thank him again, and regret the error. Graded exams should be returned in lecture on Monday, March 8.	3/3/2010

The third set of homework problems	Solutions are due at the beginning of class, Wednesday, February 24. Correction In problem A, the phrase "–iR to R" has been changed to "R–iR to R" which is what I meant and what the accompanying diagram now indicates more definitely. I thank Mr. Marcus for this correction (2/17).	2/15/2010 2/17/2010
The second set of homework problems	Solutions are due at the beginning of class, Wednesday, February 10. (The original due date was Monday, February 8, but the deadline has been postponed.	2/1/2010
The first set of homework problems	Solutions are due at the beginning of class on Monday, February 1. 1/31: A date correction and some changes of spacing were made, and point values were added to the problems.	1/25/2010 modified 1/31/2010
Entrance exam	The purpose of this assignment is to give insight to students very early in the course about some of the methods to be used. Familiarity with all of the material tested here is necessary for success in this course. Answers are due on Monday, January 25. In the past, there has been a strong correlation between success in the course and good performance on the entrance exam. Graded entrance "exams" will be returned on Wednesday, January 27. The grades ranged from 25 to 58 (out of a total of 60 possible points). You may feel happier knowing that the instructor would probably have gotten a 57 or 58 because he made an error solving problem 2.	1/21/2010

Old Math 403 material I taught Math 403 several times in the past, most recently in the spring 2008 semester. Below are links to five course webpages. Each has, in turn, links to such materials as exams with answers, etc. The textbook for the oldest two instantiations of the course was different, and the syllabus was also somewhat different.
