Math 2210 - Intensive Calculus III

• August 3rd - The final grades have now been posted to the University system. It is done. If you haven't picked up your final yet, but would like to do so, they will be available from the secretary in the math department office.


• August 1st - The final exam is now graded, and the grades are posted on canvas. The final, along with its solutions, are posted below. The average on the final was 217 out of 250. The standard deviation was 23, and the maximum score was 253. The final letter grades for the class are now calculated, and are available on Canvas. Every person in the class did better on the final than on their worst midterm, and for every person except one the worst midterm was the third. So, for almost everybody, the third midterm was dropped, and the final counted as 40% of the final grade. The grade breakdown was as follows 92-100 - A, 89-91 A-, 87-88 B+, 81-86 B, 79-80 B-, 77-78 C+, 72-76 C, 69-71 C-, 67-68 D+, 61-66 D, 59-61 D-, 0-58 F. Also, I added a bonus for some people. If your percentage on the final was greater than your class percentage, I used your percentage on the final when calculating your final grade. So, for example, if your overall class percentage was 79%, but your percentage on the final was 83%, I gave you a B instead of a B-, as an 83% is a B. I'll be having office hours tomorrow and on Friday from 8:30 AM until 10:30 AM for those of you who want to come by and pick up your final and/or talk about your final grade. I'll be posting final grades to the University system on Friday afternoon. Thank you all for a great, albeit brief, class. Good luck in all you do. -Dylan

There was also a brief overview of sections 14.6 and 14.7. For the final exam tomorrow, you'll be expected to know the material from the sections we've covered in class up to section 14.5. You won't be responsible for sections 14.6 and 14.7. Speaking of the final, it's tomorrow from 10:30 AM until 1:30 PM, in our usual classroom. See you there!

This is MUCH lower than the class average for the first two midterms. We'll talk about this tomorrow in class. I might curve this midterm, or I might not. I won't decide until after the final, so if you're worried about your final grade, I'd suggest you study as much as you can for the final. The midterm and the solutions are posted below. The quiz tomorrow will be on sections 13.8 and 14.1 from the textbook. Also, please remember that tomorrow we'll have class until 1:30 PM, and the quiz will be from 11:45 AM until 12:15 PM, not from 11:30 AM until noon. See you all tomorrow.


• July 26th - Today in class we covered sections 13.8 and 14.1. The midterm tomorrow will be on sections 13.1 - 13.4, 13.6 - 13.8, and 14.1. It will not cover section 14.2 as previously stated. The midterm review problems have been updated and modified to reflect this change. Quiz 10 has been graded, and the grades are posted on Canvas. The (correct) solutions are posted below. The midterm will start at 10:30 AM tomorrow, and you will have 2 hours to complete it. You can use three sheets of notes, front and back. Finally, we've fallen a bit behind our schedule, so next week we'll have class until 1:30 PM on both Monday and Tuesday. The quiz will be at 11:45 instead of 11:30, so each section will last an hour and 15 minutes. See you for the midterm tomorrow!

The review problems for the midterm on Friday are now posted. We're really moving fast through the lecture notes, we're way ahead on schedule, and the hour and a half of lecture from 10:30 AM until noon is a killer. So, today we decided to have only an hour of lecture, from 10:30 AM until 11:30 AM, then a quiz/break, and then another hour of lecture from noon until 1:00 PM. We'll be getting out a half-hour earlier. I reserve the right to switch back to our original schedule if we find we're moving through the material too slowly, but for now, we'll see how this change works. First day of the change will be tomorrow. See you then!


• July 10th - Today in class we covered sections 11.3, 11.4, and part of 11.5. The quiz tomorrow will be on only sections 11.2 and 11.3. Our first real quiz was today in class, and the quiz is now graded and the grades are posted on Canvas. Speaking of Canvas, it should now be published and up and running, so you should go there and try to check your grades. Email me or call me if there is a problem. I'll hand back the quizzes tomorrow. See you then!


• July 9th - Today was our first day of class. We covered sections 10.4, 11.1, and 11.2, although the quiz tomorrow will only be on sections 10.4 and 11.1. Also, we won't be using WebCT for posting grades, as it is dead. A new system, Canvas, will be used. I'll have more details about it, and grades posted, as soon as possible.


• July 8th - The website for the class is (obviously) up and running. Class begins tomorrow, Monday, July 9th. You can find the syllabus and other related administrative information here, along with the class notes. As the class goes on, I'll be posting announcements, exams, exam solutions, and other class material on this page. I'll see you tomorrow!
