The fourth exam will be on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, the day after we
get back from break. In studying for the exam, be sure to study:
-
the definition of a distribution function, and its interpretation;
-
computation of the mean and median, from a distribution function;
-
identifying and summing geometric series;
-
the definition of absolute and conditional convergence;
-
use of the alternating series test, the ratio test, and the integral test.

The final exam
The final exam will be on Thursday, May 10, 2007, 7:30AM to
10:00AM. Here is a study guide:
-
Be able to draw the graph of a function F, given F'.
-
Know integration by parts, integration by substitution, the second fundamental
theorem of calculus (the derivative of the integral is ...), partial fraction
decompositions, and trigonometric substitutions. You will need to
evaluate integrals based on these techniques and theorems, but you will
NOT be allowed to use tables. (However, the integrals will be relatively
simple.)
-
Know about improper integrals.
-
Know how to compute solids of rotation.
-
Know how to write down Taylor polynomials expanded about a point x0
from the definition of Taylor polynomial.
-
Know how to compute the error in Taylor polynomial approximations, both
from the formula for the error and from the theorem on alternating series
(where applicable).
