Course Info:

Text

Though the listed text will serve as a good resource, this course will follow notes prepared by your lecturer:

Scheduling and Grading

There will be two 90-minute midterm exams and one final exam. The midterms will be in the evening on these dates:
  • Wednesday, October 3
  • Wednesday, November 7
The two midterm exams count for 25% of your grade each, the final counts for 30%. You discussion grade will count for the remaining 20%.

The discussion section of this will split among homework (both from the notes and webbased), weekly worksheets, and participation. The worksheets will be done most weeks in discussion, and will be designed both to familiarize you with the material and to be similar in flavor to exam questions. Though you will be allowed to work together on these in class, they are to be handed in at the end for individual grades.

Review sessions will likely be held shortly before the midterm exams and the final exam. Specifics will be announced as each exam draws near.

Technology Policy

Calculators, textbooks and notes are all extremely good tools for learning mathematics. Students are strongly encouraged to use these resources fully in order to learn the material. However, calculators are not allowed on exams for the same reasons that books and notes are not allowed on exams. Students are encouraged to use calculators while studying and doing the homework problems in the same way that textbooks help with studying and doing homework problems.

The other TA's also have office hours, where they will be talking about the same problems. Those TAs, along with where to find them and when are:

Math Help Resource Page
A list of several resources available to you for finding additional help in your math classes. In particular, it will point you to the Greater University Tutoring Service (GUTS) (a free one-on-one, small group, and drop-in tutoring service), and MathLab (also a free drop-in assistance, Monday through Thursday, 3:30 - 8:30 PM, in B227 Van Vleck). In addition to these services, there is a list of private tutors available on the second floor of Van Vleck. An email sent to tutor@math.wisc.edu is automatically forwarded to everyone on the list.

If you're lacking hillarity in your calculus experience, then perhaps tutorials for the calculus phobe is more the kind of thing that you're looking for.

Worksheets

Worksheet 1 - Functions...
Worksheet 2 - Limits (solutions)
Worksheet 3 - Continuity and Trig (solutions)
Worksheet 4 - Review for Exam 1(solutions)
(10/9) Worksheet 5 - Correcting derivatives
(10/16) Worksheet "7" - Implicit derivatives and related rates
(10/23) Worksheet "8" - Sketching graphs (solutions)
(11/29) Worksheet "Volumes of Solids" + Extra practice problems!
        (you may make some use of some of the stuff from
        the handout Integrating sqrt(1 - x^2), but remember,
        you will not need to know how to use method two on the exams.
         Note: there are pictures missing from this electronic version --
         they are of the graph of the half circle with radius 1, and
         the area want to find made from taking a triangle from a wedge.)
(12/6) Lengths of curves

Extra practice problems

Fun with trig functions.

Limits:

Where is a function continuous?

Thanks to Arun Ram for the compilation
of many of these problems and solutions.
