• Finish reading Section 5.3 in your text (pages 307-314).
• Start reading Section 5.4 in your text (pages 318-320), including the exploration box on page 318!
• Work the following problems in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): 5.3: 33, 39, 41, 49, 55, 65, 66 (pages 315-317). These ask you to use the properties of integrals we discussed in class on Monday and in lab on Tuesday. You should NOT be using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for any of these. Read the directions carefully. Remember to defend your answers for the true/false questions.
• Work the following problems in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): 5.4: 11, 15, 23 (page 327). Now use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus on these! Yea!

WEEK 2: January 25-29

Remember to keep your appointments!!!

Note that some of your individual appointments are scheduled during part of my Wednesday office hours, so my open office hours on Wednesday are slightly different this week; they are 3:30-5:00.

I will need to leave early on Friday to take care of my sons, so I will need to move my office hours on Friday. They will be from 11:00am until noon. Please let me know if you need to see me and cannot make this time.

Journal Quiz 1 on Tuesday, January 26th covering homework from review and sections 5.1 and 5.2.

Quiz 2 on Friday, January 29th covering Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (what was covered in Tuesday's lab).

Journal Homework for class Monday, January 25:

• Read Section 5.1 in the text (pages 284-291). Carefully read through the proof of Theorem 5.1 on page 284, which uses the Mean Value Theorem. Isn't it neat?!
• Work the following problems in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): Section 5.1 exercises (pages 291-294): 23, 39, 41, 47, 51, 69 (here we need to integrate twice; also look at page 289 for suggestions), 77 (check out page 290), 97 and 99 (don't just copy the book's answers - explain!).
• Optional journal problems: Section 5.1 exercises (pages 291-294): 11, 25, 33, 35, 49, 67. You should become VERY comfortable with these basic antidifferentiation skills. Do as many of problems 15-44 as you need to in order to become comfortable.

Journal Homework for lab Tuesday, January 26:

• Bring your journal to lab for the Journal Quiz at 1:30pm! The quiz includes this assignment.
• Finish the example we were workin on in class. Bring your solution and/or questions to lab.
• Read pages 295-296 of Section 5.2 in your text.
• Work the following problems in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): 5.2 (pages 303-304): 9, 11 (these are asking you to think backwards from what we did in class), 35, 37, 43, 44.
• Optional journal problems: 5.2 (pages 303-304): 7, 13, 32, 38.

Journal Homework for class Friday, January 29:

• Read pages 297-301 of Section 5.2 in your text. The text approaches the area problem in a slightly different way than we began it. How is it different? What is the general idea behind their approach?
• Work the following problems in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): 5.2: 25, 27, 63 (here instead of using right endpoints, we use midpoints), 73 (be sure to explain your choice) (pages 304-305).
• Work the following problem in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): Estimate the area of the region under the graph f(x)= [the square root of (1-x^2)], from x=0 to x=1 using FIVE approximating rectangles and right endpoints.
• Optional journal problems: 5.2: 29, 45 (page 304).

WEEK 1: January 20-22

Welcome to Calculus II!!!

Quiz 1 on Friday, January 22 covering Calculus I, particularly those topics on the handout from class.

Collected Homework (Due Friday, January 22 at 9:05am):

• Write an autobiographical essay as assigned on the syllabus.

Journal Homework for class Friday, January 22:

• Read the syllabus. We went through most of this in class, but you should make sure you have read all the details and don't have any questions about it. Also be sure to record the exam dates in your personal calendar/planner. Remember there are no make-ups.
• Familarize yourself with this website. Note that there is a link at the top of the page to our syllabus, should you lose the yellow one I handed out in class. The syllabus has a lot of vital information on it and you will likely want to refer back to it regularly. Also at the top of the page is a link to my grade scale. This will let you know what percentage you need to earn in order to obtain specific grades.
• Complete the handout from class. You can do your work on the handout; it need not be in your journal. This should be a quick review of some of the topics from Calculus I. If this is difficult for you or takes you a lot of time, speak with me immediately. Check your answers with the key hanging on the bulletin board outside my office. Note the kind of work that I expect to see for complete solutions as well as whether the final answer is correct. How you get there is more important than the final answer!
• Review Chapters 1-4 in the text. (This covers pages 1-282.) This is the material that you should feel comfortable with. Pages 21-22 list some of the graphs I expect you to know and page 179 (also in the inside front cover of your text) lists derivatives you should be able to recall quickly. Unlike usual reading assignments, I do not expect you to read all 282 pages of this; just flip through to remind yourself and stop at topics which are more challenging for you.
• Work the following problems in your journal (SHOW YOUR WORK): Chapter 3 Review Exercises (pages 197-199): 7, 53, 91. Chapter 4 Review Exercises (pages 279-280): 39, 41, and 63 (this last one has a lot of parts; see section 4.6 for details).
• Optional journal problems (You should feel comfortable doing these, but you need not include them in your journal. When I grade your journal, I will give bonus points for having a certain number of extra problems completed): Chapter 3 Review Exercises (pages 198-199): 47, 83, 121. Chapter 4 Review Exercises (page 279): 29, 38. If you are still feeling rusty on some of this material, DO MORE! And please let me know if you have questions.
