Math 10B, Lecture B, Fall 2015

General Information

There is also TED for this course, though it will mostly be a place to check your grades. Piazza will still be the main place for discussion.

The course syllabus contains most of this information and more official policies.
Here is an approximate lecture schedule. It may change depending on how much material we get through.

Exams

Allowed devices: Graphing calculators are permitted (but not required; we will not give problems that require them).
Disallowed devices: NO cell phones, smart phones, or any Internet-enabled devices will be permitted; turn them off before entering class.
What to bring: Bring a Blue Book to the exam to write your answers in. You are allowed one double-sided 8.5 x 11 sheet of notes. Making such a note sheet is, in my experience (I was a student once, too, you know), the best preparation you can do.

Assigned Seating for Exams

Seats will be assigned for the exams. Each chair in the lecture hall has a small metal label on the part where you rest your back on:

If you prefer a left-handed seat, please contact me about it as soon as possible and the assignment will be changed. To look up your seat assignment, check your grades on TED. There will be an "assignment" labeled "MT1 Seat", and your "grade" is your seat number (it's underlined in the screenshot below):

Practice Exams

These are actual exams that were given in previous quarters, so they've actually been field-tested by real humans. However, note also that different instructors covered different materials at different speeds, so some of their problems may not coincide with what we have done.

10B Midterm 1, Winter 2007
10B Midterm 1, Winter 2012

The answers to these practice exams are posted here (on Piazza).

For the second midterm (same disclaimers as above apply):

10B Midterm 2, Winter 2015 (Ignore Problems 1 and 5; we did not cover Problem 1 in class, and Problem 5 was material on the first midterm. Finally, use the u-substitution u=e^x and change the bounds of integration to make problem 3 conform to what we did in class).
10 B Midterm 2, Fall 2012 (Ignore Problems 1 and 4; Problem 1 was covered on the first midterm, and problem 2 is material we didn't cover.) This one also has answers. We'll discuss on the answers to the other one on Piazza.

I will also post a practice with representative pdf/cdf problems (sections 8.7-8.8) soon.

Final Exam Information

The final will be on Wednesday, December 9, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, in Center Hall 101 (SAME PLACE as lecture). The same policies regarding electronic devices and calculators applies as in the midterms. Bring your IDs, a blue book, and two double-sided 8.5 x 11 inch pages of notes. My advice is to not re-use your note sheets from your midterms, but rather to make new ones from scratch. This is the best exam preparation ever; don't skip it! Seating will be assigned; check TED just as you did for the midterms and let me know if you need a left-handed seat (if you have already contacted me about this previously, you don't need to, again).

The final will consist of 8 questions; 3 will be similar to Midterm 1 questions, 3 will be similar to Midterm 2 questions, and 2 on new material: a separation of variables problem and a problem modeling growth and decay. I will post exam topics to Piazza. This means, it will be useful to get both of your midterms back from me and review them and the right answers (they will be great practice for 3/4 of your final!).

In addition, there is a Review Session this Sunday, December 7 in Center Hall 105 (NOT the same place as lecture) at 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. This room has about 3/4 the capacity, so I am working on getting another room in AP&M for another review session. Since seating is limited, do not go to both.
