142 placement test
Midterm I
Instructions
Opscans are not necessary. No books, notes, or calculators are allowed.
As you arrive please help your classmates to arrange the
chairs in straight lines.
Bring your SUNY ID. ARRIVE 5 MIN. EARLY.
Material covered
Midterm I will cover all material from section 5.4 to 7.1 (6.4 excluded)
Preparation
Textbook
- Old homework questions
- Unassigned homework questions
- Questions to guide your review (p483-484, n.6-16;
p534 1-13 (skip 8,9,10); p600, 1,2.
- Practice exercises (p484-486, 25-48; p535-536 skip slope fields, Euler's
method. I am not suggesting you do all the problems. It is just a list
from which you can choose.
To get an idea of what is required of you in the time given
here is a list of problems that you can use as a sample test:
page 462 n. 22; page 486 n.46; prove using calculus that ln(xy)=
ln(x) + ln(y) for x and y >0; page 511 n.26; page 544 n. 41, 62, 76, 44.
MIDTERM 1 (with solutions) (Spring 2003)
Averages: REC 01: 155.16/250.
Tentative curve: A > 237.5, A- >225, B+ > 212.5,
B > 200, B- > 187.5, C+ > 175, C > 162.5, C- > 150, D+ > 137.5, D >= 112.5,
F< 112.
Midterm II
Instructions
Opscans are not necessary. No books, notes, or calculators are allowed.
As you arrive please help your classmates to arrange the chairs
in straight lines.
Bring your SUNY ID.
Material covered
Midterm II will cover all material from sections
7.2 up to 8.2, excluding 7.5 and Picard's method in
8.2
Preparation
Textbook
- Old homework questions
- Unassigned homework questions
To get an idea of what is required of you in the time given
here is a list of problems that you can use as a sample test:
page 601 n. 54 and 62; page 602 n. 70; page 603 n. 140;
page 602 n. 124; page 617 n. 34; page 626 n. 16 (with epsilon, N
and the difference rule; as showed in class).
You may be asked to prove the integration by part formula, l'Hopital
theorem, proofs with epsilon,N. It is important that
you understand when you can use a theorem: are the hypotheses
of the theorem you would like to use
in the problem at hand satisifed, etc.
MIDTERM 2 (with solutions) (Spring 2003)
Averages: REC 01: 197.6/250.
Tentative curve: A > 237.5, A- >225, B+ > 212.5,
B > 200, B- > 187.5, C+ > 175, C > 162.5, C- > 150, D+ > 137.5, D >= 112.5,
F< 112.
Final exam (TUESDAY MAY 20,
2:00pm-4:30pm, IN CLASS )
Instructions
Opscans are not necessary. No books, notes, or calculators are allowed.
As you arrive please help your classmates to arrange the chairs
in straight lines, if appropriate.
Bring your SUNY ID. Please arrive 10 minutes early.
Material covered
All sections from 5.4 to 8.8, except 6.4, and 7.5.
Preparation
See above to prepare the material covered in the
first two midterms.
Textbook
- Old homework questions
- Unassigned homework questions
- Questions to guide your review
- To get an idea of what is required of you in the time given
here is a list of problems that you can use as a sample test:
Section 5.5. n.22, 5.6 n.10, Prove Theorem 1 of section 6.2,
6.3 n.20, 6.5 n. 74, 7.1 n.38, 7.3 n.30, 7.6 n.35 and 26,
7.7 n.46, use epsilon N to show that 1/n! -->0, page 708
n. 32,26,47.
It is important that
you understand when you can use a theorem: are the hypotheses
of the theorem you would like to use
in the problem at hand satisifed, etc.
When you learn a theorem be sure to understand
the hypotheses and how they are used; find counterexamples
to the statement of the theorem when one or more of the
hypotheses are not true.
-
You may be asked to state and give examples or counterexamples
to the theorems we have learned in class
(the book is your precise guideline).
You may be asked to give proofs of the following:
properties of natural logarithms and exponentials, Theorem 2 (section 6.3),
Integration by Parts, Theorem 1 (section 7.6), the integral of 1/x^p
(section 7.7 Ex.3), proofs with epsilon and N, the geometric series.
The final mean is 178.8.
Here is the exam curve:
A 265 (4 students), A- 250 (1), B+ 230 (3), B 210 (1),
B- 200 (2),
C+ 170 (1), C 150 (1), C- 130 (2), D+ 110 (0), D 90 (0), F less than 90 (5)
The curve for the whole course:
A 950 (4 students), A- 900 (2),
B+ 850 (3), B 810 (1), B- 770 (2), C+ 720 (2), C 660 (1),
C- 600 (1), D+ 470 (2), D 400 (1), F 399 or lower (2).
If you got A in the final, A is your final grade for the course.
We have doubled your best midterm only if there has been a positive
trend in your grades and committment to the course as showed by
homework and quizzes.
Problem 8 was dropped from the computation of the grade in the final
(nobody has solved it).
We made problem 1 worth 40pts, problem 5 30pts, problem 7 40pts
to compensate for that. All the above has been to your advantage.
