5.2 4
5.3 6
7.2 2
7.4 4
7.5 6
7.6 7
7.7 6
8.1 6
8.2 2
8.4 8
8.7 6
8.8 7
9.1 7
9.2 8
Total 79


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. As on any exam, it is wise to start with the problems that you feel confident that you know how to do, before moving on to others.

One must know the derivative and integral formulas involving the six trig functions, including formulas 1-18 in the table on page 542. One must know the identities involving squares of trig functions, including the expressions for sin2(x) and cos2(x) in terms of cos(2x).

It is not necessary to know the identities used to integrate the expressions sin(mx)sin(nx), sin(mx)cos(nx), or cos(mx)cos(nx). It is not necessary to memorize identities involving the hyperbolic trig functions, other than the fundamental one cosh2(x) - sinh2(x) = 1. Of course, one should be familiar with their graphs, and the more basic derivative and integral formulas for them.

There is a problem involving Simpson's Rule. The formula for Simpson's Rule in terms of h and y0, ... , yn will be given, as well as the formula for the bound for the error in terms of h and the fourth derivative of the function.

In evaluating improper integrals, be sure to use the definition as a limit. Evaluations that use direct arithmetic calculation with infinity are unsound, and will not receive full credit.

One must know the formula for the differential of arclength ds, and be able to use it to calculate length. Also, one must be able to write integrals to find surface area of various kinds of surfaces of revolution.

Exams from previous Honors Calculus classes can be found on their course pages (links to them appear on the course pages page). Of course, these were different courses, so the exams may be quite a bit different.
