Midterm II

Midterm II will be on Monday March 19, 8:30-10:00pm in Old Engineering 143 for Lectures 1 and 4, Light Engineering 102 for Lecture 2.
There will be a review session on Friday March 16, 6:00-8:00 pm in Math P-131. Please prepare your questions in advance.
Another review session will be on Sunday March 18 at 7pm in Math P-131.

Exams from previous years: F05 exam, solutions; S06 exam, solutions; F09 exam, solutions; F10 exam, solutions; S11 solutions , F11 exam
Quizzes: Quiz 1 ; Quiz 2 ; Quiz 3 ; Quiz 4 ; Quiz 5 ; Quiz 6

Note that the programs for the previous years were different from the current one, and the power series were discussed after second midterm.
This Midterm II will cover Chapter 8 of the textbook: this means, that it will not include differential equations.
It will include convergence tests for sequences and series, computation of their limits and sums, and topics on power series:
Radius and interval of convergence, Taylor series, presentation of a function as a power series, computation of sums, remainder estimates.


Midterm I

Midterm I will be on Wednesday, February 22, 8:30-10:00pm .
Exam rooms: Old Engineering 143 for Lectures 1 and 4, Old Engineering 145 for Lecture 2.
