HW due Fri. 5/1

Five AP problems about parametric, vector, and polar were distributed: 2007 BC-3, 2005 BC-2, 2007(Form B) BC 2, 2008(Form B) BC 1, and 2004(Form B) BC 1. (If you were absent, all of these can be found on the AP web site linked in the right column.) Do as many of these problems as needed, but feel free to spend your time differently if there are other topics where you are more in need of reviewing.

There will be one more review quiz on Friday. It may be on any topic from the AP curriculum.

Handout problem set "Hyperbolic functions."
Monday, April 27, 2009

HW due Tue. 4/28

Homework:

  • Mostly done in Monday's class, finish the last one for homework: Past AP problems related to power series and Taylor series: 2004(Form B) BC 2(d), 2007 BC 6, and 2007(Form B) BC 6.
  • Begin Monday night, OK to finish Tuesday night: Set of multiple-choice questions.

If you were absent Monday, you can find the AP problems on the official AP site (linked in the right column), but you'll need to get the multiple choice questions when you see me.

There will be more one-question review quizzes this week. If we have one on Tuesday, it will be from the general area of power series and/or Taylor series.

HW due Fri. 4/17, Test Fri. 4/17

In class Thursday, we will work on textbook 8.4 exercises 49-53.

On Friday, we will have a short test on the newly-introduced material of the past few weeks: differential equations and their applications (handout packets 11.6/11.8/11.10), and integration using trigonometric substitutions (part of textbook 8.4).
Tuesday, April 14, 2009

HW due Thu. 4/16

Do these problems about symbolic integration using trigonometric substitutions: textbook 8.4 exercises 35-46.

HW due Tue. 4/14

Finish this set of AP problems begun in class: 2007 AB 3, 2006 AB 3, 2005 AB 4, 2005 (Form B) BC 4. These are non-applied problems involving integration and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Tuesday we'll have another one-question quiz in the general area of integration and its applications.
Friday, April 10, 2009

HW due Mon. 4/13

Finish this batch of past AP problems begun in class, all involving applications of integration:
  • 2005 AB 2, BC 2006 2
  • 2006 (Form B) BC 4, 2006 BC 4
  • 2004 BC 2, 2006 (Form B) BC 1

The problems in each pair are similar, so if your time is limited due to holidays, do one problem from each pair.

We will have more one-problem quizzes on Mon. 4/13 and Tue. 4/14, each related to recently-reviewed topics.
