are only allowed ONE attempt for the last problem!!! This is due Monday at 9:00am online.

ONE attempt for the first problem!!! This is due Monday at 9:00am online. There are not many practice problems in WeBWorK
for the Ratio and Root Tests without looking at absolute convergence, which we will not discuss until Monday. (Note I assigned a problem that did have the
absolute value of the ratio, but you can essentially ignore the absolute value for those questions since the terms are all positive anyway.) Thus in addition
to the WeBWorK you should also do problems 19, 21 and 23 on page 576 in your textbook.
Remember that answers are in the back of the text. I will not be collecting these, but it is to your advantage to spend some time with these!

YOUR ORIGINAL EXAM!). This is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, April 30. PLEASE come ask me questions. DO NOT discuss these with your classmates or

possible if you still have questions. Also remember that you can go back and redo WeBWorK problems that have already been submitted. It will not
change your grade, but you can check your answers. If you check the box "Show correct answers" when you are redoing past assignments, it will
not only check your answer, but also show you what the correct answer is supposed to be. Cool!
- Feel a need to review L'Hopital some more? Try problems 21, 23, 33, 41 and 47 from Section 4.7 (pages 290-291). Feel a need to review

Welcome to Calculus II!!!
Homework due Thursday, January 23:
Although I will not normally assign homework to be due on non-class days, this week we will need to in order to get started and
refresh our memories. Please complete the following:
- Orient yourself to WeBWorK, where you will be completing assignments roughly three times a week. Read these pages for instructions about
syntax and an introduction to how the system works: WeBWorK Instructions and FAQs,
WeBWorK Syntax and List of Functions.
- Practice using WeBWorK with the WeBWorKIntro assignment which can be accessed on the
WeBWorK Home Page for Our Class. This is due Thursday at 3:00pm.
- Read the yellow Syllabus and the salmon Homework Guidelines. 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 either document. 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 and to the homework guidelines, should you
lose the yellow and salmon ones 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. In addition, there are links to our WeBWorK homepage and the websites
with instructions and tips for WeBWorK.
- Write an autobiographical essay as assigned at the end of the
syllabus ("Homework 0"). This is due Thursday at 2:15pm in my office.

This is due Friday at 9:00am. (Note that you can see all assigned WeBWorK Homework Sets by logging into the general site and clicking on
Homework Sets in the lefthand tool bar. Clicking the above link takes you directly to the Review assignment.)
- Remember to bring the "Reviewing Calculus I" handout you received the first day of class with you on Friday. We will spend the first
half of class working on these problems in groups. You are welcome to work on them before Friday's class, but it is not required.
