Computation of grade: The grade is computed from your scores in the final (50%), midterm (25%) and quizzes (25%). There will be a quiz each week in the TA section, with the problem taken from the homework assignment. You will be allowed at the end to drop the two worst scores of your quizzes, but there will be no make-up quizzes in case you miss one. In order to avoid cheating, quizzes will be different from section to section. In case quizzes in different sections turn out to be of significantly different difficulty, we will make some adjustments at the end of the quarter. Strong advice: Although you need not turn in your homework, you definitely should do all the problems, and should ask questions in the sections or office hours if you have difficulties in solving them. All the quiz problems, and most of the other exam problems will just be minor variations of homework problems. First quiz: 4/5Dates of exams:
It is very important that you do the homework problems, as the problems for quizzes as well as most of the exam problems will be very similar to homework problems.Midterm: 5/4
Quizzes: each Tuesday, except in the week of the midterm and the last week before the final.
Final: 6/9: 11:30-2:30
Course material: We will use the book `Calculus, early transcendentals', fifth edition by Stewart. Click below for a preliminary syllabus for the course:
Homework assignments
Disclaimer: I will try to get the homework assignment on the net in time. Due to time and other limitations, this may not always be possible. The fact that there is no assignment posted for a particular date does therefore NOT necessarily mean that no homework is due.for 4/5: Section 10.1: 4, 5, 9, 18, 21, Section 10.2: 3, 7, 13, 19, 27, Section 12.1: 6ab, 15, 21, 22, 29, 32

Midterm (preliminary announcement). The material will go until including the assignment for May 3. The problems will be similar to the assigned problems. You are allowed to use one hand-written cheat sheet, but no books or calculators.
If you want to practice, a number of practice midterms and solutions are posted at the following link below. These courses had two midterms, so you should look at both midterms (e.g. for mid2f02 the first three questions would still be relevant for our midterm, for mid2s02 the first four problems would still be relevant).
for 5/10: Section 14.7: 1a, 3, 5, 11, 15, 31, 33, 39, 43
for 5/17: Section 14.8: 5, 7, 11, 19, Section 15.1: 5(a) , 9, Section 15.2: 3, 9, 19, 21, 25, 27

relevant for final: Section 15.9: 13, 17, 22
Final: The final takes place on Thursday, June 9, from 11:30-2:30 in the class room. The same rules apply as for the midterm: one hand-written cheat sheet is allowed, but no calculators or books. The material will go over the whole course, but most problems (70-80 percent) will be about material covered after the midterm. The problems will be similar to homework problems as listed above, until including Section 15.9. The practice final above should give you an idea of what to expect.
