Mathematics 2443-005 - Calculus IV - Spring 2003

Information about Exam III

Exam III will be in the usual classroom on Thursday, April 10, 2003. Please take your usual seat.

Only a basic, non-graphing calculator may be used. Actually, there is no need to use a calculator. Scratch paper will be provided, so all you will need is something to write with.

The exam will be worth 57 points, and will cover sections 17.1-17.6. The approximate point breakdown is as follows:

17.2 15
17.3 18
17.4 8
17.5 9
17.6 7
 Total 57

The following topics will definitely be covered (of course, the exam is not limited to these topics):
  1. line integrals, calculation and geometric meaning
  2. the Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals
  3. Green's Theorem, statement and use in calculation
  4. div, grad, and curl
  5. parameterization of surfaces, calculating r_u and r_v, meaning of r_u \times r_v and || r_u \times r_v ||

There will be emphasis on the Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals. You need to know how to calculate div and curl of a vector field. You do not need to memorize the definition of a simply-connected region in the plane, but you should know its geometric meaning and be able to determine whether a given region is simply-connected. You do not (yet) need to know the formulas for parameterizing the sphere.

Exams that I wrote for this course in previous semesters can be found (both with and without solutions) on their course pages (links are on the course pages page). Our exam may be a bit longer than those from courses which had 50-minute classes.
