MATHEMATICS 1220-90 Calculus II

Do not neglect to read the page "Course Information"; there you will be told what the materials for this course is are, how you will be graded, and you will find references to important dates.

The schedule link gives an approximate guide to how you should progress through the textbook, at a one section per regular class period rate. The exam dates on the schedule are just approximate, indicating when the material for that exam should be covered. The actual dates on Thursdays and Saturdays when UOnline does proctoring are listed below. New practice exams with detailed solutions will be posted (i.e., the are links emailed to you through the webwork system) shortly before the exam dates and are the best guide to what you may expect to be covered on the current actual exams. I recommend doing the practice problems before consulting the solutions to get the best idea of what you feel solid on and what you most need to review. We usually receive the completed exams from UOnline in the middle of the week after they are taken, due to out of area exams and campus mail times. After they are graded, your scores will be mailed and solutions posted through the webwork system around the following weekend.

For each topic to be covered, there are also supplementary notes and practice problems with detailed solutions from Prof. Hugo Rossi who originated these courses. It is strongly recommended to do these problems, checking your work against the answers, before going on to the webwork assignments. The practice problem sets loosely correspond to the webwork sets of the same number. There is also a list of suggested problems for each section from the textbook. Answers for odd-numbered textbook problems are in the back of the book, and complete worked solution manuals for all problems are available on reserve in the math library. The purpose of the practice problem sets is to compensate for the classroom experience; these are written so as to reproduce, as well as possible, the act of watching the instructor work through a problem.

The Webwork assignments form the core of this course; Assignments must be completed by 10:59 p.m. on the date shown, usually Tuesdays. Do assignment 0 ("Demo", non-credit) first in order to understand the protocols for submitting answers on Webwork.

Do your webwork assignments by first printing out the assignment, then doing the problems on paper, referring to the sources as needed. After the problem is done, submit your answer. If it is correct, proceed to the next problem; if not, try to find your error. It could just as well be arithmetic, a syntactical error in submission, or a conceptual error. In the latter case, reread the appropriate text and try again (there is no penalty for incorrect tries), or finally, send an email to the instructor for assistance for guidance by clicking the Feedback button from that problem - this gives us a link directly to your specific version of the problem, and allows you to describe to us what you have tried and what is or isn't working. You can avoid roundoff errors by entering your answer symbolically rather than numerically and let webwork do the calculations (e.g., sqrt(2) may work where 1.41 may not.) The help button on each problem page has useful information for using webwork.

A summary of webwork formats, conventions, and available mathematical functions is available here.

Finally, you should note the page "Practice and Past Examinations", which contains typical and actual problems from past semesters. The exams starting from Fall 2004 are a bit closer to current exams than earlier ones.

Register for all exams at least two weeks before the exam through the Uonline webpage. Direct all questions concerning scheduling of exams to their office.
