MAT 125: Calculus 2
Spring 2020
Final exam information
1. Notes and materials
Notes are not allowed on exams.
Calculators are not allowed on exams.
You may only use other electronic devices (computer, smart phone) to the extent of following exam logistics (below).2. How to study
Please see tips from first exam.
Get enough rest during finals week and the weekend before. Create a list and schedule of what you will do each day, including enough sleep in your schedule. Start studying early enough so you can take breaks; reward yourself after working hard.
Practicing by solving problems is much more effective than reading over solutions. There are plenty of review questions in the textbook. Going over homework and correcting mistakes is also a good idea.
3. Exam content
The exam covers everything we have done. The exam is cumulative, so you should review the topics of the previous three exams. The exam will roughly focus on- basic straight-up integration (think Gateway level, not Exam 1 level)
- commonly missed concepts from Exams 1 and 2
- multivariable calculus: functions, differentiation, optimization, integration
As usual, please note that this document is not a contract. I may have inadvertently left something off that ends up on an exam question. Moreover, I will not be able to test all of this material given the time limitations of the exam. I will have to pick and choose some subset of it.
4. Logistics
Logistics will be largely similar to Exam 2; review it if you don't remember the procedure. The only change is that it is during our officially scheduled final exam period, which runs for 2 hours. (I don't anticipate you needing that long for the exam.)
