HappyCal Monthly Schedule

(Honors AP Calculus, Period B)

T 4/1/03	HW due: Write up a short AP review strategy (a paragraph, or a list of bullets), plus §12-2 #1, 4, 5, 9. If you wish to use the review question logsheet as part of your strategy, you are free to do so. However, this year I will not require the review sheets as I did in years past.
W 4/2/03	HW due: §12-3 #1-11 all. Also read §12-4 carefully, with your pencil and paper by your side.
Th 4/3/03	HW due: §12-4 #2, 3, 5, 6.
F 4/4/03	Ungraded Quiz (CFU) on §§12-1 through 12-4. HW due: Read §12-5 and memorize the green box labeled “Eight Well-Known Power Series” on p.616. This box will not be on the quiz, but it won’t hurt you to know these series by heart. Also, finish §12-4 if you have not already done so.
M 4/7/03	HW due: §12-5 #9, 12, 13, 14, 32, 33. The first four of these should go very quickly.
T 4/8/03	HW due: §12-5 #15-30 mo3, plus 39.
W 4/9/03	HW due: §12-5 #40; §12-6 #1, 4, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19. There is a typo in #14: the numerator should be n!(xⁿ).
Th 4/10/03	HW due: §12-6 #21-26 all. This material is not on the AP exam but is very good to know for your later mathematical studies. Seniors will not be in class today because of Career Day. As always, be sure to get your homework scanned if you are absent today.
F 4/11/03	Ungraded Quiz (CFU) on §§12-1 through 12-6, plus Mini-Quiz (1 problem) on §§12-1 through 12-5. I originally planned to make everything ungraded, but we need a question (call it a pop mini-quiz if you wish) to check progress. Be sure you know your green boxes on p.616. HW due: Read §12-7. If time permits, work a few of problems #1-14.
M 4/14/03	HW due: §12-7 #1-4 all, 5-14 (skimpy work permitted), 15-17 all (normal level of work). Also read (but do not solve) #22.
T 4/15/03	HW due: §12-7 #, 25-30 all; §12-8 #3, 4, 7, 8, 10.
W 4/16/03	HW due: §12-8 #11-19 odd. Please attempt these as practice toward the day when you will have to tackle difficult texts and problems in college and graduate school. The homework scan will be lenient.
Th 4/17/03	Memorization Quiz on p.616 (graded), plus CFU (ungraded) on §§12-7 and 12-8. Make sure your HW in §§12-7 and 12-8 is up to date.
F 4/18/03	Another CFU on Chapter 12. After you have worked diligently on the question (preferably under time pressure), please check the scoring rubric and annotated student samples. HW due: Make sure you have finished problem 3 from yesterday’s quiz/CFU. I recommend that you do it more than once, so that you can practice writing everything out in much less than 15 minutes. Please also read the detailed explanation of how you could have used the Lagrange form of the remainder in question 2(b), even though the AST error bound is by far the better method in this case. Also, if you have not already done so, make sure that your HW in §§12-7 and 12-8 is up to date.
M 4/21/03	HW due: §12-9 #R2b, R5 all, R7a-i only, R8e.
T 4/22/03	Test on Chapters 11 and 12. You can prepare the Chapter 11 portion by working problems R2 and R3 on p.592. The Chapter 12 portion is much harder, of course, but if you review your three quizzes and all HW, you should be in fairly good shape.
W 4/23/03	Review.
Th 4/24/03	Practice AP Exam, Part I (70 points). Multiple choice, no calculator allowed.
F 4/25/03	Results from Part I will be discussed and distributed.
M 4/28/03	No school (FBK Day). As you prepare for tomorrow’s practice AP exam, please challenge yourself by re-doing all the problems from last Thursday. When you have made your best effort (preferably under time pressure, 2 minutes per problem), please check the answer key from last Thursday’s portion.
T 4/29/03	Practice AP Exam, Part II (70 points). Multiple choice, with calculator.
W 4/30/03	Results from Part II will be discussed and distributed. In class: Evaluate ò (x² – 1)^–1 dx and answer the 3 practice “plane slicing” problems that were passed out. Answer key: .5(ln \|(x – 1)/(x + 1)\| + C D B E
