173 study session and exam topics

We will have a study session on Wednesday, May 6, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in room AA 362-B, which is a conference room located halfway between the Science and Business division offices, next to the photocopiers.

Following are the official objectives for this course, from the official outline, which you can always find on my website. I crossed out a few topics that we either didn't do or didn't do enough to put on the final. Everything else is something you should be ready to tackle.

A. solve problems involving volume, arc length, work and centroids of plane areas,
B. differentiates and integrates expressions involving transcendental functions,
C. define conics, vectors, sequence, limit of a sequence, infinite series, convergence and divergence of a series,
D. solve problems involving conics, rotation and translation of coordinate axes and polar coordinates,
E. find areas bounded by curves in polar form,
F. solve problems involving parametric equations, vectors,
G. solve problems involving improper integrals and infinite limits of integration,
H. find series representations of functions and use Taylor's Theorem with Remainder,
I. differentiate and integrate power series, solve problems in indeterminate form, and obtain competency in the use of a graphing utility
