 Math 3 - Calculus

Study Guide

Calculus On Demand (COD) Web Site
COD (see left sidebar) gives a snap-shot of each Lecture. It is definitely the place to begin your studying because you can get an overview of what is covered in class.

The COD web site is where you can find all the materials from the textbook that are relevant to a given lecture, including both on-line and textual materials. It also has a link to the WeBWorK login for the Math 3 homework.

Homework
Homework must be submitted by 8:00 a.m. on the day it is due. The homework problem sets will be done over the web using the WeBWorK system which presents a slightly different set of problems to each student. This problem-generator allows you to get a hard copy of an assignment, input the answers, submit the problems for grading, and go over the correct answers. It even lets you review your record so that you can see how well you are doing. Moreover, you will be able to practice solving similar problems.

All Math 3 homework assignments will be posted on WeBWorK weekly, normally at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, with problem set "day05" on WeBWorK corresponding to "Lec 5" on the Daily Schedule.

If you can do the WeBWorK homework and understand the concepts behind the problems, you should be in good shape for the exams.

Answers to Homework
Answers to a given homework set will be available in WeBWorK at 1:00 p.m. on the day it is due. In addition to the answers provided by WeBWorK, we will post the written-out solutions to a version of most problems so that you can see the process involved in solving a particular problem.

Exam Study Questions
Study questions will be posted here before each of the exams this term. The questions will be taken from past years' exams and current material. The questions should provide some indication of the nature and depth of typical exam questions, but they should not be regarded as an exhaustive study guide.
