switching order of integration

....do you remember when I said *NEVER* have variables in the outside limits of integration, and that if you should find yourself with variables in the outside limits go back because you did it wrong?

sums and vectors

an amazing number of people STILL make the illogical jump equating sums and vectors: that 3+5 means the same thing <3,5>

Practice Exam 2 Answers

Professor Taylor,

<<<<<<<<<<<<<snip>>>>>>>>>>>> In class on Monday you passed out a practice exam and said that we could come ask you one question if we showed our work. Does this mean that you are not posting an answer key for us to check against? I have checked the blog and the syllabus practice exams to see if the answer key is available and I have not found it. As I have already completed the review, an answer key to check my work against would be very informative. I apologize for the late hour of this email, however I thought if I was having this problem then it is likely that I am not the only one.

Thank you for your time,

You heard correctly.  You do maintain the option to go to the syllabus and look at the practice test linked there, which does come with answers, as well as the review linked there.  You may also take the practice test I passed out and go to one of the review sessions hosted by the University Academic Success program and ask them how to do the problems. As I've stated several times by now,  passively getting someone else to tell you the answer fosters the delusion that you know how to do the problem, when really much of how to do the problem is learning what mistakes you're likely to make. This requires actually doing the problem and making the mistakes before you get them corrected though.  The practice test I passed out is for this purpose.

scores and extrapolated grade

Here are your scores and estimated final score and grade. Please note the exam score is unusually depressed because of difficulty interpreting the exam instructions about multiple choice problems, and this number will likely come up with the extra credit report

Field Day Monday October 7

On Monday October 7 we'll meet for class at 10:55 (i.e. ten minutes late to allow for extra travel time) at the base of A Mountain, which is behind the light rail station at College and 5th Street in Tempe, about a half a block north of Tempe Main Campus. Topics to be discussed: level curves, gradients, maximum increase and decrease, critical points, absolute max and min.  We'll be doing this as we slowly hike the mountain, so this will just a little bit strenuous.

If you are unable to participate in this activity, please inform me and we'll find another activity for you.
