No
additional HW due. Please make sure you have finished your §5-8 problems,
however. |

T
12/2/03 |
HW due: Read §5-9, including all
examples, and the proof that FTC1 implies FTC2 and
conversely. Make reading notes and, if you have any questions regarding
the proof, a list of questions. “I don’t understand” is not a question. Make
an actual list of questions. Yes, this is hard work. |

HW due: §5-10 #3, 4, 7. The green
box on p. 226 summarizes what you have already experienced when using
integrals in situations of this type. For example, you may wish to calculate
distance covered if velocity is a function, or work accomplished if force is
a function. (When you were younger, you would calculate distance = velocity ·
time, or work = force · distance. You can’t use a simple method like that if
velocity or work are functions—that’s one reason why you study the calculus.) |

HW due: Read §5-11; write §5-11
#1, 2. Simpson’s Rule tabulation (showing your work) is virtually identical
to the procedure we used for the trapezoidal rule, except that instead of
using weights of 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, . . . , 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, and multiplying the
results by ½Dx,
we use weights of 1, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, . . . , 4, 2, 4, 1, and multiply
at the end by 1/3 Dx. |

HW due: Select and work problems of
your own choosing from pp. 240-246, the review and test. Keep a time log and
work for at least 35 minutes. |

12/10/03 |
Test on Chapter 5. If you are one of the 8
people who made an appointment to take the test today, you must take it
unless you have an excused absence. You may also take the test today even if
you are not one on the appointment list. |

Please
check out this test with corrected answer key.
Three speedy students caught several egregious typos in the original version
that was distributed after school, and I am most grateful for their eagle
eyes. I wish I could claim that the errors were intentional, to test your
knowledge, but I need to confess. In problem #9, I cross-checked the values
of M4, T4, and S8 against each other but
inexplicably forgot to check them against the true value of the integral. As
you know, I would have deducted 3 points if you had done such a thing on your
own test paper, with no ECF since the answers were all NR. |

12/11/03 |
Test on Chapter 5
(alternate version). If you took yesterday’s test and answered “Yes” to the question about
scoring, you are not required to attend today. However, if you missed
yesterday for any reason, I expect you to be present for the test today. That
was our deal. |

12/12/03 |
HW due: A differential equation (pronounced
“diffy Q”) is simply an equation that involves a derivative. To solve a diff. eq. means to find a
function, usually y = f (x),
that satisfies the diff. eq. Work step by step through problems #1-7 on p.
251 (exploratory §6-1). |
