Announcements:

Announced 3/3/2016: Here is my last list of review material that should help you for the final:
- Week 9 Newsletter
- Final Exam Facts Summary: A brief summary of everything we've done.
- Final Exam Checklist of Topics.
- Taylor Series Quick Summary Sheet.
- Taylor Polynomial/Final Review Worksheet which contains a list of practice problems and here are the solutions to problems 1-13 and solutions to problems 14-23 (Note the obvious miscalculation typo in 18(c), which also effects 18(d), sorry).
- Taylor Notes
- Here is a detailed Overview of Taylor Notes 1, 2, and 3.
- Here is a detailed Overview of Taylor Notes 4 and 5.
- And remember that any and all of the exams in the math department old 126 final archive are good to study.
- Just for your interest (this won't be on your test, you can ignore this), here is an old honors worksheet discussing a few applications of Taylor series (there are many more applications than those listed in this worksheet, but I think these are all applications that you can appreciate now with the tools/background you currently have).
Announced 5/22/2017: Here are the Exam 2 Solutions. Grades will be posted by Wednesday.
Announced 5/18/2017: Please check out the following:
- Week 8 Newsletter
- quick Summary of all the main facts in Math 126
- Taylor Series Quick Summary Sheet.
- Taylor Polynomial/Final Review Worksheet which contains a list of practice problems and here are the solutions to problems 1-13 and solutions to problems 14-23 (Note the obvious miscalculation typo in 18(c), which also effects 18(d), sorry).
- Taylor Notes
- Here is a detailed Overview of Taylor Notes 1, 2.
- Here is a detailed Overview of Taylor Notes 4 and 5.
Announced 5/11/2017: Check out the Week 7 Newsletter
Announced 5/4/2017: Please check out the following postings:
- Week 6 Newsletter
- Quick Review for Exam 2 and Exam 2 Conceptual Review.
- 15.1 and 15.2 Review.
- 15.3 and 15.4 Review.
- Here is a list of integrals we know in one step. These integrals are the main ones from Math 125 that we quote in one step. For all others, we use some technique to simplify to one of these.
- If you are worried about your integration skills, start with this warm up: Here are 24 very basic integrals (they only require simplification or substitution and should be very easy) and here are the solutions.
- In section 15.4, you will need to be able to integrate trig functions well. Here are a few examples integrals involving powers of sine and cosine.
- There may be a few problems that require other techniques. You are expected to know all integration techniques from Math 125. If you don't remember a technique here is more review (also you can find all techniques in the book, 7.1-7.5):
Announced 4/26/2017: Check these out:
- Week 5 Newsletter.
- 13.3, 13.4, and 14.1 Review.
- Partial Derivatives Examples and a Review of Derivative Rules (including implicit differentiation).
- 14.3 Review.
- Here is an overview of max/min facts from calculus 1 and calculus 3.
- 14.4 and 14.7 Review: In addition to summarizing the material, this review sheet contains additional fully worked out examples for: linear approximation, differentials, classifying critical points, and global max/min.
Announced 4/24/2017: Here are the exam 1 solutions. Grades will be posted by the end of the week.
Announced 4/20/2017: Check these out:
Announced 4/13/2017: Here are a few more postings:
- Week 3 Newsletter
- Exam 1 Basic Facts sheet: One page, quick summary of the basic facts and formulas going into exam 1.
- Formula summaries overheads and example computations from 13.2 and 13.3 (with solutions).
- Math 124 Review of Finding Tangents Lines: Reviews finding tangent lines for cartesian and parametric equations in 2D.
- Homework notes and hints for 10.1/13.1 and 10.2/13.2: Homework hints included to get through all the small facts in these sections.
- Also remember to check out the lecture materials (especially for 12.6 and 10.1/13.1, 10.2/13.2) as they contains lots of summary facts.
- Overview of basic polar coordinate facts. You might also find these helpful when doing polar coordinates:
  - Medium Sized Polar Graph Paper
  - Large Sized Polar and Cartesian Graph Paper and Overlay
Announced 4/6/2017: Here are a few more postings:
- Week 2 Newsletter
- 12-5 Intro Overheads: Describes (with pictures) how we get the equations for lines and planes.
- 12-5 Summary Overheads
- Practice Problems and full solutions for finding lines and planes: I will use these problems as examples in lecture.
- 12-6 Intro Overheads: Please print these off for reference, we are discussing names and several 3D shapes and it is nice to have the pictures from these lecture notes for reference.
- Conic Sections: This is an optional supplement that lets you know what conic sections are and it gives a visual of the shape of a hyperbola.
Announced 3/29/2017: Here are my first review postings, check them out:
- Week 1 Newsletter.
- Overview of 12.1-12.4: quick overview.
- Review of 12.1: more detailed review of this section with examples (also a full review of how to complete the square).
- Review of 12.2: reference sheet of some basic vector facts you need.
- Review of 12.3: summary of the dot product and its applications.
- Review of 12.4: summary of the cross produce and its applications.
- Visual Descriptions of 3D Lines and Planes.
- A supplemental discussion on vectors and physics: This is just for your own interest (most of this is not covered on the exam), but it may better help you see the applications in the vectors and vector operations we have been discussing in class.
Announced 3/23/2017: Important textbook and Webassign information:
- All students must have access to Webassign in order to do the homework. If you already purchased Lifetime of the Edition access to Webassign for the 7th edition of Stewart's Calculus Book in Math 124 or 125, you do not need to purchase a new access code. If you did not purchase Webassign access for Math 124 or 125, the least expensive option is Webassign with the electronic text. Read the following instructions for more information on purchasing webassign access:
  Webassign Purchasing and Log-In Instructions.
- Note: UW students need to use a special login page for webassign. (You can log-in for free as part of the two week trial period even if you haven't puchased webassign yet. So everyone has access to the homework on the first day of class.): https://www.webassign.net/washington/login.html.
