Calculus 251, Fall 2009, Duckworth

This page is for two calculus courses: MA 251.03 and MA 251.04 Alpha. They are almost, but not quite identicial. They will have the same homework assignments and tests, but the Alpha course will have extra reading and writing assignments and activities.

Handouts and material

Here's the syllabus for section 3 and here's the syllabus for section 4 (Alpha)
Here's Quiz 0 that we took on the first day.
Here's a day-by-day log of what we covered in section 3 and the same kind of log (including also Alpha activities) in section 4.
Here's the PREVIEW FOR MIDTERM 1
Here are the solutions for the midterm 1 preview
Here's the PREVIEW FOR MIDTERM 2
Here's the Solutions for Midterm 2 preview
Here's the one page derivative sheet
Here's a one page curve sketching sheet
You may be interested in learning a little about computer math systems. For instance, all of the graphs I put in my notes have been generated by Maple. Maple can also solve equations, take derivatives, etc. Maple is available to the Loyola community through Citrix. I've put two versions of a Maple document here. Here's the maple code itself if you want to download it, open it in Maple, make changes, see the output etc. Also, here's PDF print out of the same document, if you just want to look at it.
Here's the flash cards that I emailed to everyone. Let me know if there's anything that should be added to them.

Calendar for the rest of the semester

I want to try to make sure everyone knows where we're going for the rest of the semester. So, here goes (although I may not have the days 100% accurate).

By Friday, November 20. We'll have finished up 4.9 (Anti-derivatives) and started 5.2 (The definite integral).
By Monday, Novemeber 23. We should have finished 5.2 and started 5.3 (the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus)
By Tuesday, November 24. We should have finished 5.3.
By Monday, November 30. We should have started 5.4 (net change and the Fundament Theorem of Calculus).
By Tuesday, December 1. We should have finished 5.4. QUIZ 3
By Wednesday, December 2. We should have started 5.5 ( U-substitution).
Friday, December 4. MIDTERM 3
Monday, December 7. We should be in the middle of 5.5, possibly finishing.

Wednesday, December 9. We will review for the Final exam.

Homework

Here's the homework assignments that are due, and a predection for the remaining ones.

WeBWork

Here's the link to WeBWork . To login, use your Loyola computer account name (in my case educkworth) and your Loyola id # as your password (if your ID has only 6 digits you must INCLUDE 0 (zero) as the first digit).

Here's a brief reminder about how WebWork works:

It's an online homework grading system.
You login to get your homework problems; you can view the problems on the webpage or you can download a copy to print out.
After solving the problems you log back in and enter your answers. On most problems you can take as many tries as you want to solve the problem.
