Reminders and Important Dates

• Homework from the previous week is due the following Tuesday (specifically Monday homework is not due the next day)
• There is a quiz every Tuesday (unless otherwise mentioned) covering the material on the homework due that day.
• The week of the final (12/10-12/12) I will have office hours from 1:30-2:30 on Monday and Wednesday. Also there will be a review session on Thursday (See Below)

Midterm 1

• Midterm Exam is on Monday, September 24th (study, study, study) so there will be no quiz on Tuesday, September 25th (or Thursday). There is still homework due Thursday the 27th. Additionally I advise you all to arrive EARLY to the test on Monday so as to assure yourself a comfortable seat for the exam.
• No Calculators are allowed on the exam
• You are allowed one cheat sheet (one side of the page). Hold on to this because this because you will be allowed to use it on the final. Here are some ideas of what you may want to put on your cheat sheet:
  • Trig identities
  • Sample solutions to δ - ε problems.
  • Statements of big theorems like Intermediate Value Theorem, Squeeze theorem
  • Statements of big definitions such as the definition of limits or of even functions.
  • Properties of limits and derivatives.
  • Popular limits like sin(x)/x as x → 0
  • Polular derivatives such as the derivative of tan(x)
  • Solutions to other homework/worksheet (both his and mine) problems that you found interesting or difficult.
• DO NOT under any circumstances use l'Hôpital's rule or the chain rule on the test since, contrary to popular belief, you don't know this yet.
• We (Michaeel Kazi and I) will hold a review session (see below)

Other Handouts

• Sample delta epsilon solution.
• Another sample delta epsilon solution (this is how your solution should look)
• Problem 1.6.35c from homework. I did it quite quickly so that you would have solutions to look at. This problem would never be on the test so don't stress too much if it doesn't make sense.
