Math 19B Winter 2008: .
 

bulletUnbelievable, but true: Final's week is just around the corner! Your final will be on Wednesday, 3/19, 12-3pm, in the regular classroom. DRC final is in BE 301A
 
bulletCorrections to Practice materials on ERES for the final:
1) Practice Final, 2004, #3, Cone equation does not correspond correctly to the given picture. It's better to draw the side of the cone so that it goes through the origin.
2) Practice Final, 2004, #5b) change the inner radius to (1+ sin x), since 2 - (1-sinx) = (1+ sinx).

 
bulletReview materials will go to eres on Monday or Tuesday of this week. Your final will cover all the material that we covered in class. The distribution of work is roughly 60% on integration and 40% on the series material in Chapter 11, particularly power series, Taylor series, radius and interval of convergence. More specifically, the final will cover all the sections we covered from Chapter 5-11.10.
 
bulletThere will be review sessions:
a)  in class on Monday
b) on Tuesday, 3/18, 1-3pm, NatSci Annex 101, with Catherine
c) all sections on Monday are open to everybody ==> consider them review sessions

bulletSolutions to Brian's quizzes can be found here: http://bustlingcuriosity.googlepages.com/math19b%2Cwinter2008
bullet The LAST HOMEWORK assignment is due Tuesday, 3/18, 10pm and is posted on ILRN. Pdf's can be found as usual on this web site. The homework is on sections 11.7-11.10.
bullet Homework assignments are based on the lecture and the textbook. Homework will be assigned, submitted and graded on-line at  http://west.ilrn.com/ilrn/. I will e-mail you the assignments as a PDF file or you can get them from the class web site or the http://west.ilrn.com/ilrn/ web site. First you need to sign up for an account on Ilrn and use the PIN E-YKE7S5NF7FSQZ to get access to the homework for this class. More information about this is on the syllabus and will be given in class.
bulletHint about how your on-line homework connects to your hardcopy textbook: the problems are based directly off the book. To find the corresponding problem in the book of a given homework problem, use the pdf file of similar problems. At the end of each problem is a cryptic code that contains the info: For instance, the first problem in the first assignment has code

stet06.02.01.01ab

this means Stewart  Early Transcendentals 6th edition, Chapter 2, Section 1, Homework problem 1a and b.
