Due-date: Monday, 11/16/20 (deadline was extended because of Tropical Storm Eta).)
You are required to do all of the problems and reading below. (except for anything explicitly labeled "optional" or "recommended"). You will not be required to hand all the problems in. I have indicated below which problems you do have to hand in on the due-date. Don't make the mistake of thinking that I'm collecting only the problems I think are important.
The "due date" above is the date that your written-up problems are to be handed in, but don't wait to get started on the assignment. You should always get started on problems as soon as we cover the relevant material in class.
- A: Bartle & Sherbert exercises:
- Section 3.5/ 1, 4 (just the sum, not the product)
- Section 4.1/ 4, 8, 10a, 12b, 13, 15
- Section 4.2/ 3–5, 10, 11 abd. In #3, remove the "where \(x > 0\);" it's irrelevant.
- Section 4.3/ 1, 2. (Do the reading in part C of this assignment first.)
- Section 5.1/ 3–5, 8, 9, 11, 12
- Section 5.2/ 1ab, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 (prove your answer)
- Section 5.3/ 1, 4 (you can't directly use the hint in the back of the book, since we haven't defined infinite limits)
- Section 5.4/ 1, 5, 6, 7 (you may assume the usual properties of the sine function for this problem), 8, 10, 12, 14
- Section 5.6/ 10, 15
Of the B& S problems, hand in only these:
4.1/ 13
4.2/ 5
5.1/ 12
5.3/ 4
5.4/ 10- B: Click for non-book problems. Of these, hand in only B1, B7, B8b
- C: (Reading)
- In Bartle & Sherbert Section 4.3, read the subsection "One-sided limits" up through Example 4.3.4(a). (This is only about 1 1/3 pages of reading.)
- Read all handouts of mine that you have not already read, including hw1_solns.pdf.
- Re-read the instructions on the cover page of the first midterm, paying particular attention to the second bullet-point. Also, in the handout exam1_old_problems.pdf, re-read the three-paragraph "Note for 2020 students" that starts on the third line of p. 4. (Or, if you decided not to look at the old exam problems at all, because you would have been upset by not being given solutions to them, read this note for the first time.) I could have omitted this note, because it's implicit in the second bullet-point of the instructions on the exam; this note just amplifies and emphasizes what's in that bullet-point. I included the note to give you additional clarity ahead of time.
I give you a lot of materials to help you, but you have to do your part. You have to read (and listen) thoroughly and carefully. If you are selecting which of my materials to read and absorb, or which lectures to attend or watch the videos of, you are shooting yourself in the foot.- On the class home page (http://dgarchive.com/classes/4211_f20/homepage.html), under "Course description", (re-)read the second paragraph. If you're not a student described in that paragaph, or if you're approaching this course with the attitude of "What's the least amount of work I can do and still get the grade I want?" then you are not a student for whom this course was intended, and you should not expect to succeed in it.
- As instructed in the hw1_solns.pdf handout, read the file "run_on_and_comma_fault.pdf" that's posted in Canvas under Files.
- You are always required to read all email that I send the class (or send you individually). Read all emails from me that you have not already read. Re-read my Oct. 12 email, "Q&A today; importance of following rules & instructions". When I said "I've got to insist that you follow my rules and instructions about margins and scans (see http://dgarchive.com/classes/4211_f20/hw.html )," that was not a request. Further, if you did not submit a cover-page with your exam, re-read the first item of the timetable in my Oct. 11 email, "MAA4211: more exam info".
Every single one of my rules about margins, scans, having a cover page, and submitting one pdf file with all your answers rather than one file for each page, were violated on the exam (in most cases by many students). Penalties will be assessed. Each violation slows down my grading, to the detriment of the entire class.- If there was any exam-related email that you did not read before the exam, then in Canvas, under the Assignment that's Exam 1, read what's in the the text-box, starting with "Make sure you've read all my emails ... ." That reminder was a life-preserver thrown to students who need to be saved from themselves.
