- The final exam will focus on these topics from Webworks 10 and
11:
- limits of infinite sequences by L'Hopital's rule
- tests of convergence for infinite series
- error estimates for alternating series
- computing basic power series
- determining radius of convergence
- computing Taylor series
- error terms in Taylor series
- limits and approximations using Taylor series
- computing binomial series
- basic parametric curves
- slopes of tangents to parametric curves
- lengths of parametric curves
- areas enclosed by parametric curves
- basic curves in polar coordinates
- lengths of polar curves
- areas enclosed by polar curves
Techniques from earlier in the course will be useful in solving the problems.
- HW 11 opened on Friday at 9am. It will close at 9:00pm on
Monday, April 27th.

Prerequisites. Math 131 or a grade of B or better in a one
year high school calculus course.
Time. Classes meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in Busch
Hall, room 100. Section 1 meets 10:00am-11:00am. Section 2 meets
11:00am-12:00 noon.
Text. The lectures will generally follow
University Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Second Edition)
by Joel R. Hass, Maurice D. Weir, and George B. Thomas Jr., which was
the text used in Math 131 in Fall, 2014. You are welcome to use any
similar calculus textbook, or none at all.
Homework. Homework problems will be generated and graded weekly
on WeBWorK.
You are encouraged to collaborate on homework and to
work additional exercises from your textbook, although the
homework grade will be based only on your individual WeBWorK results.
Tests. Tests, at which attendance is required, will be
given from 7:00pm-9:00pm on Wednesday February 4, Wednesday March 4
and Wednesday April 8. The final examination will be held on
Friday May 1 from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
Grading. The homework, the three tests, and the final
examination will each be assigned a score and will contribute equal
shares (20%) to the course score. Letter grades, computed from the
course score, will be at least the following:
Course score at least: | 90% | 80% | 70% | 60% |
Letter grade at least: | A | B | C | D |
Students taking the Cr/NCr or P/F options will
need a grade of D or better to pass. Students taking the Audit option
will need to attend and sign in at 37 of the 41 class meetings to
obtain a Successful Audit grade.
Computing. Students are encouraged to use their own computers or
those available in the Arts and
Sciences Computing Lab for both symbolic and numerical computations.
Office Hours. Teaching assistants, assigned to you at
registration, will be available on Tuesdays throughout the day in
various classrooms. I will be available in my office Mondays
4:00-5:00pm, and occasionally at other times by appointment.
