 Math 20C  Homework  (due in Tuesday section)          page up for schedule

 Policy on discussing homework        No late homework 

Homework is an important part of learning mathematics.
You should get help on problems you are unable to solve.

Due to limited grader resources, only some problems will be graded.
The decision will be made after homework is due, so you should do all problems.

Final Exam   Exam Solutions

Office Hours for Finals Week: Tuesday 10AM-1PM

FINAL EXAM is currently scheduled for Wednesday 3/18 11:30-2:30 in Ledden Auditorium
Bring a BLUE BOOK.
Q:
Is the exam cumulative?
A: Yes, but it will emphasize the material since the last exam.
Q: What may I bring?
A: Two sheets of notes.  For example, the notes for the hour exams with notes on multiple integrals added to one of the pages.
Q: How long is the exam?
A: It is roughly twice the length of the second hour exam and you have the full 3 hours for the exam.
Q: Can I bring my grade up if I did poorly on one hour exam?
A: That depends on how you do on the final.  This was discussed on the course web page.  Click here for more information.
Q: What about other questions?
A: See questions about the hour exam below.

Hour exam questions
Q: Will I need a blue book?
A: Yes, and one should be plenty.
Q: What may I use on the exam?
A: Nothing except your mind and one page of notes (both sides okay) --- it's closed book.
Q: May I use a calculator?
A: No
Q: Is there a sample exam?
A: No.  Some old exams are available, but the syllabus has changed a bit since then.
Q: What material in the sections are we responsible for?  Is it just the homework?
A: No, it is not just the homework.  The homework is meant to be representative but may not cover every last item. I attempt to cover everything you need to know in the lectures.  You are responsible for the material in the text except things your are told to omit.
Q: Can you suggest review problems?
A: Yes.  Obviously, you can work at other problems at the ends of the sections we've covered in class.  In a mathematics text that has problems after each section and problems after each chapter, its often helpful to work problems at the end of the chapter.  Those problems don't tell you which section to use, which is like an exam.  In Stewart, look at the "Concept Check" questions to see that you understand the ideas and look at the "Exercises" to see that you can do problems.
