Mathematics 2443-006H - Honors Calculus IV - Spring 2008
Information about Final Exam
The Final Exam will be in the usual classroom on Wednesday, May 7 at
1:30 p. m. You may work until 3:45 p. m if you need
the extra time.
When the final exams are handed out, you will also receive a copy of some
formulas, exactly as they appear on the
formulas
page.
Grades will be posted on our website as soon as they are ready, probably
some time on Thursday. You may pick up your final exam any time during the
next year; after one year they will be discarded.
The Final Exam will be worth 78 points. Here is an approximate breakdown of
the sections of the book that will be directly covered:
15.4 | 6
|
15.5 | 3
|
15.6 | 6
|
16.3 | 3
|
16.7 | 3
|
17.3 | 6
|
17.4 | 12
|
17.5 | 6
|
17.6 | 6
|
17.7 | 9
|
17.8 | 6
|
17.9 | 12
|
Total | 78
|
The following topics will definitely be covered:
1.
| Differentials of functions of more than one variable,
linear approximation.
|
2.
| The Chain Rule.
|
3.
| The gradient.
|
4.
| Changing the order of integration for double integrals.
|
5.
| Changing the order of integration for triple integrals.
|
6.
| Conservative vector fields and path independence.
|
7.
| Green's Theorem.
|
8.
| Parameterization of surfaces, the
vectors ru, rv, and
ru \times rv.
|
9.
| Surface integration of functions and vector fields.
|
10.
| Stokes' Theorem and the Divergence Theorem: their statements
and applications.
|
It will be important to know Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem and the
Divergence Theorem and be able to apply them. One must be able to calculate
the gradient, divergence, and curl.
The following topics will not appear, at least, not
explicitly: limits, continuity, equation of the tangent plane,
finding extreme values using critical points,
Lagrange multipliers, Riemann sums, calculation of moments and
center of mass, the Jacobian, simple-connectedness.
Final exams that I wrote for this course in previous semesters can
be found on their course pages (links are
on the course
pages page).
