Mathematics 1823-010 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry I - Spring 2008

Information about the Final Exam

The Final Exam will be held in the usual room on Wednesday May 7, 8:00-10:00 am. It will start promptly at 8:00, so make sure you're on time. The test will cover material from the sections covered in the earlier exams, together with sections 4.7-4.9. There will definitely be questions on these last three sections, since they have not been covered before.

The test will be longer than the earlier exams, but less than twice as long. Calculators or other mechanical assistance are not needed and are not to be used.

As far as individual topics go, the information pages on the earlier exams can be used as a guide. Differentials (from 3.9) will not be on the exam, though linearization may be.

From the most recent sections: You should be able to solve optimization problems. You need to understand and be able to use Newton's method, though I will not ask you to do any detailed calculations. You should be able to find (all) antiderivatives of various functions, or specific antiderivatives satisfying some initial conditions.
