- And here is a Summary of cases for 7.2 Trig integrals.
Announced 4/27/2016: Exam 1 Info:
- Here are exam 1 solutions.
- If you struggled with this test and are worried about your performance, it might help to first reread my advice that I handed out the first day of class. Here is my Recipe for Success in Math 124/5/6 again.
- Please review your exam and your studying. To help you do this, I set up an optional online reflection survey here: Math 125 Exam 1 Reflection Survey.
- Here are Exam 1 Stats and answers to commonly asked grade questions.
Announced 4/22/2016: Check these out:
- Here is my End of Week 4 Newsletter, read this!
- Here are review of 6.4 (work) from lecture: includes summary of units, summary of all methods, and discussion of homework. It would be good to read this, then read the example problems posted below.
- Compilation of old Work problems from my old exams and full solutions.
- Large compilation of Work problems from old finals and full solutions written by me.
- Here is a quick, basic overview of sections 6.4 and 6.5
Announced 4/15/2016: Check these out:
- Here is my End of Week 3 Newsletter, read this!
- Check out this quick review for exam 1.
- Don't forget that you can find prepared lecture materials through the link at the right of this page (included are exam 1 review lecture materials).
- An overview of 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 that will be what we are discussing this week (and it is the last topic before the first midterm).
- If you having trouble choosing "dx" or "dy", try this exercise four practice problems (from lecture) for finding the area between curves
  and solutions. For all problems in chapter 6, you start by choosing "dx" or "dy" in the same way as these four problems!
- Here is an old quiz that I gave on u-substitution (solutions included). Students told me this quiz was hard, so try these out and see if you can do these "hard" substitution problems.
- Rememember, to check out Dr. Loveless' Exam Archive which contains many old exams by me with full solutions. You should also look at all the old exams in the math department's exam 1 archive.
Announced 4/7/2016: Here are some new postings:
- Here is my End of Week 2 Newsletter, check it out!
- Here is a a list of the integrals you can do in one step. Up to section 5.4, the only integration method is "simplify and hope". That is, simplify your integrand, and hope that you end up with something in this table.
- Section 5.5 is about changing the independent variable (or substitution), here is a supplement on some of the theory behind u-substitution.
- Here is a list of basic integral practice problems and here are solutions.
Announced 3/30/2016: I will post several review sheets throughout the term, so check back frequently. Here is my first group of postings (they can also be found at the lower right part of this page):
- Here is my End of Week 1 Newsletter, check it out!
- Here is an overview of chapter 5
- Here is a summary of the steps in constructing a Riemann sum (You may want to bring this to class).
- List of Basic Antiderivatives. Currently, our only integration techinique is to simplify the function algebraically into a sum of functions in this table. With our current methods, we can only find antiderivatives of sums and constant multiples of functions that look EXACTLY like the functions in this table.
- Riemann Sums (pdf): This is a copy of a couple of the overheads from my 5.1 lecture concerning approximating rectangles. In addition, it includes most of the solution to problem 5.1/24 on the second page.
- Calculus I Review (pdf): Contains a table of the basic derivatives, the basic derivative applications, and finishes with a review of trig and algebra (you received a copy if you attended quiz section).
Announced 3/24/2016: Welcome to Math 125! This webpage contains the course syllabus, the homework schedule, a course calendar and links to various Math 125 materials. Throughout the quarter I will also be posting review sheets and announcements. Please check back regularly. For now, you should get the required access:
- For this course, you are required to have webassign access that goes with the book Calculus, by James Stewart. You may purchase the hardcopy of the book bundled with the webassign access at the bookstore OR you may buy the homework access code online which comes with the eBook. You are not required to purchase the hardcopy of the book (although you might find it is nice to have for quick reference).
  - If you have already used webassign with this book (perhaps you took Math 124 at UW) and purchased a lifetime of edition code, then you can just log in and you should see the class and the assignments. No new purchase is needed in this case.
  - If you have NOT used webassign with this book, then you must purchase an access code. The least expensive way to do this is to get the departmental negotiated rate through this website: http://www.cengagebrain.com/course/1438677.
  - During the first two weeks, you can log into webassign as a guest. You are welcome to do this if you are still evaluating the class. But if you intend to take the course you should purchase the access code as soon as possible.
- Your first homework assignment will be visible the first day of class. Most assignments will be due on the Wednesday of the week after they appear (typically about 8-10 days after they first become visible). The most accurate due dates can be seen on webassign.
- In Math 125, each assignment is broken into three parts (Labeled HW 1A, HW 1B, HW 1C for instance). This is for your convenience in breaking up your work, but all three of these will be due at the same time.
- Log in to webassign to see this and all subsequent homework assignments. (How To Use Webassign)
- Once you type in an answer for a particular problem (or part of a problem) on webassign, a submit button appears. You submit one problem (or part of a problem if you like) at a time and your points for that problem are stored as part of your total score. You are allowed 5 attempts at each answer in Webassign (except for T/F and multiple choice questions, for which you are typically allowed one try).
- More general information about the course can be found here.
