Multivariable Calculus, MATH 241

Exam #3

Wednesday, April 22, In Class


The second exam covers Sections 9.7, 11.7, 11.8, 12.1 - 12.4, 12.7 and 12.8. It is recommended that you go over homework problems (HW #7 - 9) and your class notes. Many of the problems and questions we discuss in class are excellent examples of test questions. The solutions to your WebAssign problems on HW #7 - 9 can be seen by clicking "View Key" near the top of each assignment.

In addition, some review problems from the Chapter 9, 11, and 12 Review Exercises are listed below. The odd answers are in the back of the book while the evens are listed here. The Concept Check problems at the end of each chapter (before the Exercises) are also a good source of questions. The exam will be designed to take the full class period (45-50 minutes).

Note: You will be allowed a scientific calculator for the exam which does NOT have graphing capabilities. Please bring your own calculator.
