EXAM I: Thursday October 4 in class (no calculators allowed)
Practice Problems for Exam I (Solutions to Practice Problems)
Formula Sheet to be distributed at Exam I
Sample Exams from years past
Review for Exam I on Tues Oct. 2 from 7-9pm in SEC 209.
This exam covers the material of lectures 1 through 8. You
should know the relation of the derivative of a function to
tangent lines to the graph of the function, be able to compute
limits, and understand the derivative as a function and its
connection to rates of change. You should understand what it
means for a function to be continuous or differentiable. You
should understand how new functions are made from simpler
functions by composing, multiplying or taking inverses. You
will need to know how to differentiate functions such as
polynomials, rational functions, trigonometric functions and
sums, products and quotients of these functions.
EXAM II: Thursday November 15 in class (no calculators allowed)
Practice Problems for Exam II (Solutions to Practice Problems)
Sample Exams from years past
Review for Exam II on Tues Nov 13 from 7-9pm in SEC 209
This exam covers the material of lectures 1 through 20. You
should know the topics covered in exam I, as well as the chain
rule and derivatives of inverse functions. The majority of
the exam will consist of applications of the derivative, so
one must be able to differentiate all functions in our catalog
of standard functions. You will need to know how to
differentiate implicitly defined functions and to solve
related rate problems. Linear approximation to functions and
Newton's method will be tested.
You should understand the Mean Value Theorem, critical points,
inflection points and local extrema of functions and how to
find these points. The use of first and second derivatives to
understand the graphs of functions will also be tested. There
will be problems on applied optimization and limits of
indeterminate forms, as well as basic antiderivatives.
FINAL EXAM: MONDAY DECEMBER 17 4-7 PM ARC 103 (calculators not allowed)
Practice Problems for Final Exam (Solutions to Final Practice Problems)
Formula Sheet to be distributed at Final Exam
Sample Exams from years past
