Calculus for Phys./Life Sciences 2

Exam #2

Wednesday, March 19, 5:30 - 7:00 pm


The second exam covers Chapter 7 and Sections 8.1 and 8.2. Even though u-substitution and integration by parts were covered on the last exam, they are still important techniques of integration you need to know to do problems in the later sections. You should go over the homework problems as well as your class notes. Many of the problems and questions we discussed in class are excellent examples of test questions. I have also listed some sample problems from the Chapter 7 and 8 Reviews below. The exam will be designed to take an hour although you will have the full 90 minutes.

Note: You will be given a scientific calculator for the exam which does NOT have graphing capabilities so be prepared to answer questions without your personal calculator.

Warning: You will be given an abbreviated table of integrals for the exam. This will be useful for some problems and useless for others. Do not study expecting to have the table at the back of the book with you for the exam!

Exam Review: We will review for the exam in Tuesday's class, March 18th. Please come prepared with specific questions. We will NOT have the regularly scheduled class on the day of the exam although I will be available in my office for any urgent, last minute questions.
