Marks and notes from Exam Review Session
As promised, I have posted marks for A03 and A04. Please make sure all the marks are as you expect them to be. If there are any issues, please deal with them before the final exam. The notes from the exam review are also posted. Enjoy and good luck! -Rob
Exam Review Session
As discussed in class, I will be holding an exam review session on Friday, December 9th from 11am - 2pm in 201 Armes. This is a common exam review for all three sections, and for that reason, you should expect the room to fill up quickly. It is RUSH SEATING, so if you want to make sure you get a seat, come early (there are approximately 3 times as many students as there are seats). Please bring questions to this review session. I will not have any questions prepared - all questions and problems we do will be initiated by students on a first ask first served basis.
Quiz 4/5's posted
See below. -Rob
Optimization worksheet, videos, etc
Added new worksheet with lots of optimization problems w/ solutions. Added Chapter 5 lecture notes (which include some from Chapter 4 with some modifications).
Taking over A05
As of today I will be taking over teaching MATH 1500 A05, TR 11:30-1:00pm. This website is to be used for all three sections of the class. As such, I have changed my Campo Hours on Thursday (the old time conflicts with A05) to the new time Thursdays 1:00 - 2:30pm. All students in A05 are expected to check this website regularly and watch for updates.
Curve Sketching worksheet and full nice example
Posted curve sketching worksheet (with solutions), a nice "juicy" curve sketching example (don't look at the answer until you give it a good try yourself!), some new videos that do curve sketching examples, and Quiz 3A/B with solutions.
Chapter 4 notes and new videos posted
Also, I have added more worksheets on the derivative rules, but including logs now that we have done them. -Rob

Proofs, Videos, Quiz 2, and more
Lots of long over due updates. For instance, the proof that (d/dx)(sin(x)) = cos(x) is in the document of proofs. The document of proofs contains all the proofs you need to know for the midterm exam, plus some extra slight modifications to aid in understanding them. Please look through what's been added and ask questions as necessary. -Rob
More videos and chapter 3 lecture notes
I have posted the chapter 3 lecture notes, and more videos for this week and next week. I hope everyone is keeping up with the homework! Remember my support hours (both in office and in Campo): Not many people have been coming by, so I haven't been very busy lately. Come by any time. -Rob
Quiz 1 & continuity worksheet Posted
For studying purposes, I have posted a link to Quiz 1 and it's solutions, below. Also, I have posted a worksheet on continuity. -Rob
Instructional Videos
I have just now added some more instructional videos. Remember that these videos are meant to SUPPLEMENT what you are already doing, and should NOT be used as a substitute for coming to class, going to the labs, or doing the suggested homework in the book. Also, remember that the professor sets what is expected of you in terms of showing your work during class and that the notation used in a third party video may be different than what the professor uses in class.
Registration Revision Period
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 is the last day to add a course to Fall 2011. It is also the last day to withdraw from a course and receive a full refund. FYI, there is no refund for courses dropped after September 21.
First Quizzes Moved
Labs start next week. In an effort to not have a quiz during the first lab, I am moving the quiz dates so that the first quizzes will take place the week of September 26th.
Wednesday Office Hours cancelled
My son has a doctor's appointment this wednesday (Wed Sept 14), so I will not be in my office Wednesday afternoon. If you need to get hold of me, email me and we can set something else up. -Rob
Diagnostic Test not working
Despite my best efforts in working with administration, the diagnostic test is currently down. Please watch this site for updates and as soon as I have a method for you to do this test, you will know. It is advised that all students do this test as soon as possible. -Rob
