Grades were submitted to the registrar on Sunday, Mar. 25, at 11:10pm. If you cannot access your grade, please do send a complaint to them (and not to me). Here are the Final Exam solutions. I hope you all have a nice break! If you are wish to see the final, please stop by my office after April 28; I will be absent until then.

PREREQUISITE: MAT 21A. You are responsible for satisfying the prerequisite!

TEXTBOOK: Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by Weir and Hass (12th edition, Pearson, 2010). Sections 4.8, 5.1-5.6, 6.1-6.6, 7.1-7.2, 8.1-8.4, 8.6-8.7, 11.1-11.4 will be covered.

GRADE: Course grade will be based on the following:

  • 51-65%: C
  • 66-80%: B
  • 81-100%: A

ADDITIONAL POLICIES:

Thursday meeting (times vary for each Section) is a discussion session, lead by your TA, and devoted to homework and further elaboration on lecture material. Attendance of discussion sessions is mandatory (in the sense that you are responsible for the material covered there; your presence will not be verified).

Please bear in mind that talking, cellphone ringing, newspaper reading, etc. disrupt the lectures.

If you have any problem at all that requires special accomodation, please let me know well in advance! In particular, the Student Disability Center asked me to post this message:

    Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Student Disability Center (SDC). Faculty are authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the SDC. If you have any questions, please contact the SDC at 530/752-3184 or sdc@ucdavis.edu.

Various class materials, including exams (with solutions) from the last time I taught this course are available on the materials page. However, material presented in the lectures will be the basis for the exams.

Homework will be assigned every Friday, and will be due on the following Friday. You are strongly encouraged to carefully do every assigned problem on your own, although the homework will not be collected. Any homework problem may occur on an exam, perhaps in a slightly changed form. Together with the homework, I will assign discussion problems, which will include old exam problems, additional examples etc. A selection of these will be discussed in the discussion sessions.

Use of books, notes, calculators, or anything else but pencil and paper, will not be allowed on any exam.

There will be no make-up exams. A missed exam counts as 0 points. If you miss the final you will automatically receive an F. The grade I (Incomplete) will not be given in any circumstances. If you miss the final because of illness or other emergency, please petition for the Retroactive Drop. I will support your petition. You will also need support from your College Dean, so please talk to them first.

Solutions for the midterms will be posted on the materials page.
