The Final Exam will be on Wednesday, December 7, 7-10PM, in Sewall Hall (SEW) 309.  Here are some facts:

1. It will cover all material from the two midterms AS WELL AS  sections 5.1-5.5, 6.1-6.3, and 6.5.
2. An old final exam from 2009 (and solutions) have been posted in the "Resources" section of OWL-Space.  Please use it!!
3. No calculators will be allowed!
4. I will have a "question-and-answer" session on Tuesday, December 6, 4-6PM (HBH 427).  This is essentially an office hour in a larger room, so please be ready to ask questions and/or suggest topics for discussion.
5. I will additionally have my usual office hour on Monday, December 5, 2-3PM (in HBH 444).
6.  There are several optional WebAssigns posted which consist of extra questions (not appearing on homework assignments) from most of the sections we covered.  Remember, WebAssign isn't good for curve-sketching questions (section 4.5), so please get some extra practice with the list of problems I gave you during Week 10 (they're on the homework list below).
Midterm 2 will be help on Tuesday, November 8, 8-9:15AM, in Herzstein Amphitheater (HRZ AMP).  Here are some facts:

1. It will cover all lecture material from section 3.3 through section 4.8 EXCEPT section 3.11 (hyperbolic functions) and section 4.6 (calculator graphing)
2. An old exam from 2009 (and solutions) is posted in the "Resources" section of OWL-Space.  Please use it!!
3. No calculators will be allowed!
4. I will have an extra office hour on Monday, November 7, 5:05-6:05PM (in HB 444).  Please take advantage of this!
5. The lecture on Monday, November 7 will be dedicated to reviewing for the midterm.
6. The focus is non-cumulative, but the methods and tools may be cumulative.  For instance, you won't have to compute a derivative using the limit definition.  However, you will likely have to use the product and quotient rules, and you may even have to apply the intermediate value theorem. You should use the 2009 midterm as a study guide!
