Math 232

Our second midterm is next week, on Monday, March 30th. So we'll have no quiz this week.

The midterm will cover through Section 10.3. All the midterm policies will be the same as for the first midterm: You can use any calculator, but you can't use a phone or computer. You can also have a sheet of notes, which must be in your own handwriting on normal-sized 8.5 by 11 inch paper. You can write on both sides of the sheet. I'll include this table of trigonometric integrals on the exam. The exam will go from 10:10 to 11:50 with no breaks. In particular, I'd like everyone to remain in the room the entire time.

The best resource for doing well is the old exams. Midterm 2 and Practice Midterm 2 from these exams also go through Section 10.3, so all of the problems on those exams are suitable for you. The best way to study for an exam is to practice exam-like problems in an exam-like setting. It's best not to look at the solutions until you're done solving (or trying to solve) all the problems on your own.

Just a note that on Monday, March 23rd, office hours will be from 1:15 to 2:15 instead of the usual 12-1:30.

Here are the solutions to today's quiz.

There will be a quiz in class on Wednesday on Sections 7.5 and 7.6, modeled on the homework.

I didn't quite finish Section 7.7 in class today, so I've pushed the Section 7.7 homework back to the next homework assignment. It's only the last question that we haven't talked about, though.

Here are the solutions to the quiz.

As I mentioned in class today, we'll have quiz on Wednesday on Sections 7.1 and 7.3. It will be similar to the homework that was due today.

On the quiz, I'll include this table of trigonometric integrals. Also you can have a sheet of notes (one page, front and back, just like on the midterm), because it is tough to do trigonometric integration (Section 7.3) without some reference.

I want to make sure that everyone in our class knows about the Mathematics Tutoring Center in 1S-214. You can see its hours by following that link. There are other tutoring resources available, like the OAS tutoring in 1L-117 (schedule), but the tutors in the Mathematics Tutoring Center are chosen by the department and will definitely be able to help you, whereas the tutors elsewhere might not be able to help with MTH 232.
