General information about Math 115 can be found at www.math.upenn.edu/ugrad/calc/m115/. Familiarize yourself with this website.

NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. If you miss a midterm, with valid documentation, your exam grades will be reweighted.

No books or calculators allowed.
One single-sided 8 1/2 by 11 handwritten sheet of notes is permitted on the midterms, and double-sided will be permitted for the final.

Midterm 1: Monday, February 18, 1-1:50 PM

Sections: Calculus 15.1, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6 (tangent planes), 15.7, 15.8, 16.1, 16.2, 16.3; Probability 1.5, 1.6, 1.7

Review: Study your notes, homework, old final exams, and quizzes. There will be an in-class review on Friday, 2/15— email me your requests.

Format: This test will be free response, *not multiple choice*, though the questions will be similar to homework and old finals.

Preview: Look over the first page of the exam and read the rules.

Midterm 2: Monday, March 31, 1-1:50 PM

Sections: Probability 1.5–1.10, 2.1–2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 5.9(pp.298–300), 3.4, 4.1–4.3

There will be no specific calculus questions on this test.

The test is cumulative in the sense that you must know how to set up and compute double integrals for joint pdf problems.

Review: Make sure to spend active time studying and working problems on your own or in small groups or in office hours, as well as attending review sessions. Go to review sessions with at least one question prepared, and speak up when you do not understand. Your goal is more than getting the answers to problems—it's to prepare yourself for the moment when it's just you and your pencil.

F 3/28: in-class review with Dr. Storm

F 3/28 4–8PM: problem-solving review session with Sarah, DRL4N9

S 3/30 7–9PM: Sunday night review in DRL A4

M 3/31 10AM–12PM: office hours with Dr. Storm in DRL4N63

Format: The same as the first midterm.

Final Exam: Friday, May 9, 9–11AM

Location: DRLA2

Sections: Cumulative. Study all sections on midterms plus Probability 2.4, 5.2, 5.4, 5.6 and Matrices 1.3, 2.1–2.6.

Format: Multiple choice. Very similar in style to old final exams, especially Spring 06 and Spring 05.

Review:

• Old final exam problems: If you have already done them before, do them over without looking at your old work. Try to do them in a test-taking situation: 2 hours with no book and no calculator. Here is a list of problems which cover material we did not get to, so you can ignore.
• Midterm problems: Make sure you understand the mistakes you made on them.
• New practice problems: current midterms from the other section of 115 and old midterms from last semester. Don't peek at the solutions before you've tried them yourself.

Help:  Su 4/27 7–9PM: Sunday night review in DRL A4

M 4/28 5–7PM: office hours with Sarah in DRL4N9

Su 5/4 7–9PM: Sunday night review in DRL A4

Sa 5/3–Tu 5/6: You may email me math questions over the weekend and on Monday and Tuesday. I will respond to all emails by early evening on Tuesday. After that, please come to DRL for office hours.

Th 5/8 10AM–6PM: office hours with Dr. Storm in DRL4N63

Cheat sheet: Double-sided now allowed.

The final exam will be a cumulative, multiple-choice, common exam held with the other section of 115.

Homework will not be collected. However, quiz problems will be taken directly from (or be very similar to) the homework, so you are expected to keep up with these assignments. As additional preparation for exams, you should also work problems from previous years' final exams. Check Sarah's webpage for a schedule of when to do which old exam problems.

Do the core problems on the syllabus, along with the additional problems listed.

The dates listed refer to class lectures. (Check after class on Friday for the most up-to-date information on the next week's quiz.)
