Information
Practice exam will be posted online on Friday.
The exam will cover material from week 1 to 5 (except epsilon-delta).
I left the textbook at the office, so while I planned on posting solutions to HW 4 today, I was unable to write up the solutions. Mostly likely I can get them up tomorrow.
In the meantime, you should review the limit laws and derivation rules. Do lots of problems! Ask questions. You can e-mail me any questions you have, post a comment on this blog, or go to help room and ask questions (remember they're open from 9am to 9pm Mondays through Friday). Also you can search around for old exams.

HW3 Solutions (Select Problems)
[20100924]
Here are some solutions to the third homework set. Page references in my solutions should be looked at. Theorems referenced, especially those with names, should be understood or memorized. For example, you should if the limit of two functions f and g at a point a, then the limit of the sum is the sum of the limits.

20100804 Wed
Covered Final Exam Topics:
1) Inequality with absolute values
2) Equation with exponents
3) Finding roots of a third degree polynomial
4) Determining an equation of a line
5) Definition of a function
6) Find difference quotient
7) Is this an even function? odd function?
8) Finding asymptotes
9) Amount formula (Compounded periodically, compounded continuously)
10) Equation with logarithms
11) Evaluate trigonometric functions
12) Composition of trigonometric functions, for example: find sin(arccos(x)).
13) Using identities
14) More using identities
15) Finally more using identities
Note: I forgot to mention #9 in class. This is simply plugging the right numbers into a formula.
Homework:
Review for the exam, but at the same time, get a good night's sleep. There will be no make-up exam for a missed final.

The above topics have been posted since Monday, 20100802, perhaps with a small change. They did not change, however, between the review on Wednesday, 20100804, and the exam on Thursday, 20100805. Sometimes, its not about how hard you study, but knowing what to study. Sometimes, the material is just plain difficult. That's life. You need to pick yourself up and move on.
