Welcome to
Math 202: Calculus 2
Section FG, Spring 2016

Course information

The main course page contains the course-wide syllabus and additional resources, including video lessons, old final exams, etc.. Information specific to this particular section is as follows.

Professor: Zajj Daugherty
Time and place: MoWe 4:00PM—5:40PM in Marshak 117
Office hours: Monday 2:30PM—3:30PM, Wednesday 11AM—12PM, N/AC 6-301
Textbook: Mostly we will be using Stewart, with some additional resources towards the end of the course.

    Essential Calculus by James Stewart, 2nd edition. (publisher: Cengage)
    Review of Conic Sections by James Stewart
    Rotation of Axes Notes by Professor J. Douglas Faires, Youngstown State University
Grades:
You grades will be based on homework and occasional quizzes (15%), two midterms (45% total), and a course-wide final (40%). The midterm exams will be in class, and are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday 3/16 and Wednesday 4/20. The final exam is on Thursday, May 26 from 3:30pm—5:45pm, in MR2.

Homework:
Homework will be done online. You will need to set up an account with WebAssign. I will give the course key in class. The first homework assignment is due February 10th before class. The course-wide syllabus contains a list of homework problems that the final exam will be based upon, and most of those questions (but not all) will appear on your homework assignments.
CAUTION: Though all your homework assignments will be turned in online, your exams (worth way more of your grade) will be written in class. One thing you will be graded on is your ability to communicate your reasoning. Get practice with writing before you walk into the exam!

Extra practice

If you're hoping to review, there are several extra practice problems from calc 1 available on my Extra Calculus Practice Problems page. For those problems that don't have answers, please refer to WolframAlpha. For example, you can ask it to solve things like "d/dx ln(x)", or "int 1/(x^2 + 1) dx", or "lim x to 0, e^x/x". Extra problems specifically for this course are below.

Integration worksheet 2: integrals that may require integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, and partial fractions decomposition (hints)
