The Final Exam will be in the usual classroom on Thursday, May 11, 2006, at
1:30 p. m. You may work as late as 3:45 p. m.
if you wish.
Calculators or other mechanical assistance are not needed and are not to be
used. Blank paper will be provided, so all you will need is something to
write with.
Also, along with your final exam, you will receive a copy of the
formulas
page.
The main emphasis of the exam is Chapter 17, especially surface integrals,
Stokes' Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem. There will be material from
earlier in the course, but most of it will be problems identical or similar
to problems that appeared on the in-class exams. Assuming that you
understand all of those well, it is probably best to use your studying
time on Chapter 17.
The following will definitely be covered:
1. | vector fields: examples, div, grad, curl, and all that |
2. | parameterized surfaces: examples, r_u, r_v, and r_u \times r_v |
3. | surface integrals: 1) definition and geometric interpretation, 2) case of surfaces that are the graph of a function, and 3) case of parameterized surfaces |
4. | Stokes' Theorem |
5. | The Divergence Theorem |
6. | spherical coordinates--- triple integrals in spherical coordinates, parameterization of the sphere |
7. | implicit differentiation, differential of a function, the Chain Rule for partial derivatives |
8. | the gradient: geometric meaning, relation with directional derivatives |
9. | change of coordinates in integration, the Jacobian |
