- **IMPORTANT**: If you want to improve your grade for Exam 2, then you must do the five questions on THIS version of the Exam 2 and turn them in at the beginning of class on Thursday, July 22. This must be your individual work. Do not work with someone else! I will use this as part of the grade for Exam 2. It is also available on the Tests & Quizzes page.
Note: The points indicated on the questions are not necessarily the points that will be awarded (I have to work that out).
- I have posted Exam 3 from 2005. I do not guarantee that the upcoming test will have the same type of questions (although I expect to put some similar questions). I plan to post some additional practice questions for Exam 3 on Thursday.
- If you need tutoring help, you can get one-on-one tutoring from Heather Roth. She is a teacher who has years of experience teaching this and other Math subjects at college and universities. Her contact number is: 954-242-7567. There is a cost for this tutoring. I do not receive any financial benefit from it. However, it may be helpful to you. This is separate from the tutoring I provide during office hours and that is provided in the Math lab.

- Tutoring is available at the Math Lab (Bldg. 52, Room 203) and Learning Resource Center in the Library (Bldg. 62, Room 135).  The Math Lab hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. The LRC is open on Friday (8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.) and Saturday (10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.). Tutoring Labs are closed on school holidays.
- Extra-credit: I have now worked out an arrangement for extra-credit for the course. This will be based on time spent studying in the tutoring lab. The details are as follows:
Students may earn extra credit based on time spent in the Math Lab as follows:

    - For each full half hour spent in the Math Lab working on this course you will receive 1 extra-credit point (up to a maximum of 10 points per week). A fraction of a half hour will not be counted as a half hour. You must be there for at least 30 minutes.
- You must sign in on the computers at the front of the Math Lab. Select this course, so that the system records how long you were in. If you do not sign out (when you are leaving), then that time will not count in your favor.

I STRONGLY recommend that you use these facilities, as they will increase your chances of success in this course.
- Be sure to make use of the exercises on www.interactmath.com. Choose any appropriate Brief Calculus book and practice from the appropriate sections.

- This course is a very fast-paced course. Be sure to review course materials ahead of time for class. Check this page daily for updated course information, announcements, notes, etc. Also, check out the solutions pages for my Methods of Calculus course taught at FAU (listed above).
- If you are having difficulty with the course materials, be sure to come to my office hours or make an appointment to meet with me so that I can help you. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE!!!
- For a copy of the Virtual TI-83+ Calculator, CLICK HERE. Follow the instructions carefully. Note that this is virtual calculator is designed to work with Windows (2000 and above I think).
