Added Nov. 17, 2004:

1) As you know, the second mideterm exam will be on Monday Nov. 22, 2004. On Thurs. Nov. 18 there will be a review To get as much as possible out of this review, you should do the Practice Midterm II .

[ Here are Answers Practice Midterm II .]

If you can do it completely, you should ace the midterm! If you have some questions, you can ask me either in class or during office hours.

2) Reminding you that attendance is mandatory, as well as taking notes. You must bring with you, to the midterm, the notebook. If you were absent for a good reason, then you must make up this section, and present proof of self-study, by doing problems from that section and/or the handout, in your own handwriting. If you don't present a neat and complete notebook, I won't even grade your exam.

3) You should show up to every class, if at all possible, but in case you missed a few, you can download Dr. Z.'s Calculus Handouts.


Added Oct. 4, 2004: Download the Formula Sheet , that will be given in the midterm and final exams.
