MIDTERM #1 INFO:
HI GUYS! Sorry I did not show up on Wednesday, I got a new born
girl (Annie) and I was helping my wife in the hospital. Even
though I missed the wednesday class, I can not move the test
(sorry!) since we are on a very tight schedule. Let me give you
some information about the test:
Midterm #1 covers sections 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6
There will be 6 problems. One problem covers one topic from the material that we had on lecture.
Exam has in total 100 points broken between problems as 15 20 15 20 15
15. You need to hit between 60 to 90. 60 is C (not C-) and 90 is A.
Topics that will be covered for sure:
1) Equation of the plane.
2) Cross product.
3) Curves in 3-space, tangent vector, tangent line.
PLUS three other problems that I will not tell you untill Friday
afternoon!
I wish you best luck with studuing. Please stop by my office if
you have questions. I am completely open Friday morning 9-12
or Thursday (today) if you can catch me in my office.
