Homework Assignments
MAC 2312, Section 3105 - Analytic Geometry and Calculus II
Spring 2000


Last update made by D. Groisser Tue Apr 25 21:20:05 EDT 2000

Homework problems and due dates are listed below. This list, especially the due dates, will be updated frequently. Due dates more than one lecture ahead are estimates. Note that on a given day there may be problems due from more than one section of the book.

If one day's assignment seems lighter than average, it's a good idea to read ahead and start doing the next assignment, which may be longer than average.

Unless otherwise indicated, problems are from our textbook (Stewart, 3rd edition). Read the corresponding section of the book before working the problems.

Date due Section # / problem #'s
1/12/00 6.2/ 1-12,13-16,25,27,29,33,36,37
1/14/00 6.2/ 43,46,47,50-52,54,57-60,71b
1/18/00 6.3/ 1,4,7,10,13,15,17,22,27-29,33,34,37,38,39,42
1/19/00 6.4/ 1,3,5,8,11-14,17,19,25,26.
1/21/00 6.1 and 6.5/ Read sections; begin assignment that's due 1/24
1/24/00 6.1/ 1,2,3,4; all odd #'s from 5-25
1/25/00 6.5/ 1-6,7,8,13
1/25/00 7.1/ 1,3-5,7,9-13,17,18
1/26/00 7.1/ 22,25-28,31,33,38-40,47,51,53,55
1/28/00 7.2/ read section; start problems 1-21
1/31/00 7.2/ finish problems 1-21
2/1/00 7.2/ 23-43 odd; 49,50,53-55,59-61
2/2/00 7.3/ 1-19, 36,38.
2/4/00 First Exam. Test will cover sections 6.1-7.3, with the exception of "complete the square" problems in 7.3 such as Example 7 on p. 433. You also do not have to know the hyperbolic substitutions such as the one used in Solution 2 of Example 5 on p. 432.
2/7/00 7.3/ Read Example 7; do problems 21-27 odd.
2/8/00 7.4/ read section
2/9/00 7.4/ 1-15 odd; 17,20,23-30,33-37
2/11/00 Read exam-related handout and redo any problems you did not get 100% correct
2/14/00 7.4/ 39-51, 53, 64, 65
2/14/00 7.5/ Read section
2/15/00 7.5/ 1-5,8,11,14,18-20,23
2/15/00 7.6/1-5. Note: In addition to problems from whatever section we're currently studying, I'll be assigning five to ten problems a night from section 7.6 (in order) until all 80 have been assigned. Feel free to get ahead with these. That would be an especially good idea any time your assignment is an otherwise light one. (An especially bad idea would be to let these pile up until the week of the next exam.)
2/16/00 7.6/ 6-10
2/18/00 7.8/ Read section
2/18/00 7.6/ 11-15
2/21/00 7.8/ 1a-c
2/21/00 7.6/ 16-25
2/22/00 7.8/ 3,12,17, 21 with Tn, Mn, and Sn, 27 with just Tn and Sn, 31, 32, 34. In all of these you may use a calculator to do the arithmetic and round your answer to six decimal places.
2/22/00 7.6/ 26-30
2/23/00 7.6/ 31-35
2/25/00 7.9/ Read section and begin the problems due 2/28
2/25/00 7.6/ 36-45
2/28/00 7.9/ 1, 3-15, 17,18,20-25, 27-35, 57-59
2/28/00 7.6/ 46-50
2/29/00 7.9/39,41,42,49-53,55,60,61,63,66-68,71
2/29/00 7.6/ 51-55
3/1/00 Second Exam. Material for the test starts with the end of section 7.3 and ends with whatever we've gotten through by Monday 2/28. Currently I expect us to have covered through section 7.9 by this date (with the exception of section 7.7, which we skipped).
3/13/00 Read sections 10.1-10.2
3/14/00 10.1/1-30 all; 41-47 odd only. In all problems in this section, assume the first term of the sequence corresponds to n=1. In 41-47, the little red symbol in the margin means that you may use a graphing calculator.
3/15/00 10.1/31-36, 39, 49, 51-53, 55-57, 59
3/15/00 7.6/ 56-60
3/17/00 10.2/ Re-read pp. 589-592 (the examples are all geometric series, which you should all have seen in high school or pre-calc). Do problems 1-4,6,7-18.
3/20/00 7.6/ 61-65
3/21/00 10.2/19-22, 24-34 (in 24-34, ignore the instruction "If it is convergent, find the sum"; just decide whether the series converges), 37,39,41,43-48,59,63-65. Optional fun problem: #70.
3/21/00 7.6/ 66-70
3/22/00 10.3/1-17,19,21,22
3/24/00 10.3/24,25,27,29
3/24/00 10.4/ Read section
3/24/00 7.6/ 71-75
3/27/00 10.4/1-18,38,39
3/27/00 7.6/ 76-80
3/28/00 10.4/ 19-32,42
3/28/00 10.5/ read section
3/29/00 10.5/ 1-23, 25-27,33
3/31/00 10.6/ 1-35,37
3/31/00 10.7/ 1-10 (see note in parentheses below)
4/3/00 Third Exam. Anything in sections 10.1-10.7 is fair game for the exam. (In class I said 10.6, but 10.7 is just a summary of 10.2-10.6, not new material, so it's still fair game. I recommend that you read section 10.7; it's only 1 1/2 pages long and is likely to help you study for the exam.)
4/4/00 10.8/ 3-18 (read section first)
4/5/00 10.8/ 1,2,19-28,33,37
4/7/00 10.9/ 1-8
4/10/00 10.9/ 11-18,21,24,25,35,36
4/10/00 10.10/ Read section
4/11/00 10.10/ 1-4,7,9,10
4/12/00 10.10/ 17-23,25,26. In numbers 17-26, the point is to use intelligently some Taylor series you've already seen derived (see the box on p. 640); you should not need to compute even a single derivative to do these problems.
4/14/00 10.10/ 31,33,35,37,51,53.
4/14/00 10.11/ Read section and do problems 1-4,13,19.
4/17/00 10.7/11-25
4/17/00 Read sections 8.2 and 8.3. If you feel ready for it, get started on the problems from section 8.2 due Tuesday 4/18.
4/18/00 8.2/1,2,3,5,6,12-14,18,20,21
4/19/00 8.3/ 1-5,11,20,25
4/19/00 9.1/ 1-8,17-22
4/21/00 10.7/26-40
4/24/00 9.2/ 1-6,9-17,24,28-30,32
4/24/00 9.3/ 1-8,13,15,16,19
4/25/00 9.3/ 21-23,25
4/25/00 9.4/ 1-4,7-21,25-28
4/26/00 9.4/ 31-39,41,43-45,48-55
5/2/00
(Tues.)
Final Exam begins at 5:30 p.m. in our usual classroom (LIT219). The exam will be cumulative; everything from the beginning of the semester is fair game. The book sections we have covered are 6.1-6.5, 7.1-7.6, 7.8-7.9, 10.1-10.11, 8.1-8.3, and 9.1-9.4. More than one-quarter of the exam, but probably less than one-half, will concern the material covered since the last exam (sections 10.8-10.11, 8.1-8.3, 9.1-9.4).

I will hold office hours on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. For a list of times, go to the extra office hours and final information page . This page may be updated on short notice; please re-check it the morning of the day you want to see me. On this page I may also post additional information about the exam in response to questions from students.
