For the upcoming midterm exam and the final exam, it will be helpful to know what integral facts you can simply state, and which require justification (i.e., which you'll have to show work on). Here is the policy: the integrals on page 484 all can be used without any justification. You can have these on your notesheet and use them at will. You may have other integral facts on your notesheet, but you will need to include all work when using anything not in this table.

And to be clear, you can put anything you want on your notesheet.

Here is a review sheet for midterm two.

I've added last winter's midterms to the old exams page listed at right. For some reason, I don't have a solutions page for midterm 1: I'll be writing one this weekend.

Also, note that problem 4 from last winter's exam is not something I'd expect you to solve: it relies on ideas that we covered last year in the first writing problem.

Writing Problem #1:

  1. Give bounds on the number of digits of 109!.
  2. Show that

    Use this to give an estimate for the number of digits of 109!.
This problem has some of the flavor of the famous Stirling's Approximation, which is a much stronger, but similar result.

For Tuesday, please bring a copy of this worksheet to quiz section.

January 5, 2009

After discussing it with Justin, I've decided that we will keep with last quarter's system of worksheets on Tuesdays and homework due on Friday. This gives us a nice long Thursday session for homework discussion.

I have updated the homework schedule. There is just a short assignment for Friday, on antiderivatives and the mean value theorem. We'll get into area in Friday's lecture.
