Have questions?  A wide array of help is there to answer them:

Office Hours: MSB 2125, MW 1:10-2, Th 12:10-1
Additional help available in Calculus Lab: MSB 3118, M-F 12-6.
The Learning Skills Center is another valuable resource for extra help, and offers free, drop-in tutoring, workshops, and handouts, among other services.

Would you like to read the syllabus?  Or get the extra credit sheet?

This class follows Math 16A.  You will be responsible for knowing the material from 16A, most especially how to take derivatives (if you don't remember or need help, come to my office hours!).  Rohit Thomas has a worksheet of the most important things you should know on the first day of class; I recommend looking it over and seeing if you can complete it.  Also, I've made a more detailed review of how to do complicated derivates and the chain rule that you can find here.

If you'd like to know the approximate schedule we'll be keeping, you can check out the official math department syllabus for the class here.  We will be covering methods of integration for various types of functions, including exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions.  This includes material from Chapters 4,5,6,8, and 9, although not all the material from each and not exactly in that order.

Feel free to email me, not only with questions on the material, but with comments and suggestions for how the class could be better -- more applications, more examples, too slow, too fast, etc.  I won't be offended.  The best way for you to learn is to communicate with me what's working and what's not, so that we can all enjoy the class and get a lot out of it.

Grading for the class is as follows (the lowest three homework scores will be dropped):

Homework	20%
Midterm 1	20%
Midterm 2	20%
Final	40%

Test Dates: [Midterm 1 - April 27] [Midterm 2 - May 18] [Final - June 9, 1:00-3:00, in Wellman 234]

*The due date for this assignment has been extended, due to the homework assignment being posted online late.
** These two assignments have been swapped so that you can have more time to practice 8.5 before the midterm.  Also, the assignment now due on 5/15 has been shortened.




The practice quiz given in class.  Solutions are up!

A practice midterm.  Some mistakes in the solutions have been corrected.  Let me know if you find any more.

The real first midterm.  I suggest you try to work through all the problems yourself before you look at the solutions, if you want to learn from it (and do better on the final!).  Be aware that there may be mistakes in the solutions.  Email me if you find any.

Second practice midterm:

More typos found!  Thanks to everyone who has helped correct the practice midterm.  A list of recently found typos is below (unfortunately, I was not tracking them in the beginning so I don't have a complete list).

* integral of sin was incorrect (missing a negative sign)
* missing a + C in the final answer for example 2
* a few extra 3's in the final answer for example 4
* in the solutions, found the area, not the volume, for number 27
* solutions added/fixed/expanded for number 3, 18, 27, 13, 28, 20, 19, 26, 14.  

The second practice midterm is still here, but for the latest and greatest see the solutions.

Practice final is now up.  It does not cover all possible topics you might see on the final, it is just a selection; unforunately, to cover everything would require too many problems for me to make up.  I recommend trying to work out all the problems on your own first before looking at the solutions.  Note that there have been corrections (mostly sign mistakes or missing constants, but a few others) to the solutions for problems 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18a, 18e.

Extra extra credit (due before 6/5) - in addition to the usual extra credit for coming to office hours or calculus lab, you can receive extra credit for making a review sheet for the final and going over it with me (either at office hours, or make an appointment).  You can receive up to 5 points of extra credit for this.  The review sheet should list the topics we've covered in the class, give major definitions, formulas, and theorems, and have some sample problems of the different techniques of integration.  The more thorough it is, the more points you can get.  This can be done in groups, as long as everyone in the group meets with me.
