Webassign, Textbook and
Calculator Policy If you do not already have one from Math 125,
you have to purchase a Webassign access
code for your homework assignments. Click here for
more information. Login
here. The textbook is
"Calculus" by Stewart, vol. 2, from the UW bookstore. This is a portion
of the hardbound text "Calculus, 8th Edition, Early Transcendentals" by Stewart. The custom
version vol. 1 covers Math 124/125 at UW. The custom version vol. 2 covers
Math 126/324 at UW. Webassign comes with an ebook so you do not have to purchase a hard copy. You can
also buy a used (even an older edition) textbook to read and practice from. For the last two weeks, we
will follow Taylor
Notes. You can only use a TI 30X IIS calculator on
the exams. Color is optional. |
||
Grading There will be two midterms,
one final exam, homework assignments and quizzes. The midterms are 24% each,
the final is 30%, the homework assignments 10%, the quizzes are 8%, and the
worksheets are 4% of your total grade. There are no homework extensions.
There are no make ups for worksheets, quizzes or midterms. I will drop your
lowest quiz and worksheet grade at the end of the quarter. If you miss a
midterm for an unavoidable reason, come and see me as soon as you are back on
campus. You
can follow your grades from https://catalyst.uw.edu. The homework
scores will be in webassign until the end of the
quarter. |
||
Week at a
glance Lectures are on MWF. Tuesday and Thursday quiz sections are for discussing
(homework) problems. You should go to quiz sections prepared to ask and
answer questions. Explaining math is a great way to enhance your
understanding. There will be quizzes on most Thursdays. There
will be worksheets on most Tuesdays that go with the lectures. The homework
assignments will show up a week before they are due. Each will be due on the
day of the next lecture. Although they are due in the evenings, you are
strongly advised to do each assignment before coming to the next lecture. |

13.3, Review, Section 13.4 ·
We are not covering the binormal vector B, osculating and normal planes in
Section 13.3. ·
If you want to prove how the second
curvature formula follows from the first, you can follow the steps suggested here.
You can alternatively read the solutions,
thinking about how each step was justified. This is completely optional. You
should consider doing it if you are planning to major in math. ·
No worksheet this week.
Midterm review in quiz section on Tuesday. Bring questions! ·
Midterm 1 is on Thursday 01/30. ·
Here is a study
guide for the midterm and the exam archives: Math 126
MT1 Archive and my exam archive. ·
Regarding the exam
archives: § Ignore questions with polar coordinates (anything which
involves an equation with r and θ) which appear on some old exams.
We will cover those in Week 6 so they will show up on the second midterm. § Also ignore any questions involving concavity of a
parametric curve on the plane and d2x/dy2.
We don’t do those in Math 126 anymore. § Ignore questions on the Binormal vector, normal and
osculating planes. They are not covered in Math 126 anymore. § In my exam archives, ignore 3(a) in Wi10, 4(b) in Sp12,
1(a) and the a(4) in 1(b) in Sp18. |

TN 3&3. ·
Midterm 2 is on Tuesday 03/03. ·
Here is a study
guide for the midterm, Math 126
MT2 Archive and my exam archive.
Regarding the exam archives: v Ignore questions with differentials and tangents to polar
curves. We don’t cover them in Math 126 anymore. v Midterm topics have shifted because of changes. They may
not have 15.3-15.4 integrals (polar and center of mass). You can look at the
final exams for practicing those. They may have Chapter 13 questions (curves
in space). Ignore those, too, for this exam. ·
