{\it General Information}
\bigskip
\item{$\bullet$}  The second exam of the semester will be given on 
Wednesday, October 24, 6:00 - 7:30pm {\it in Haberlin 103}.  If you have a 
conflict at that time, we will run the ``second seating'' at 8:00pm again.
\item{$\bullet$}  {\bf Bring a photo ID to the exam.}
\item{$\bullet$}  The exam will be designed to take an hour but you will have an extra 
30 minutes to work and check your solutions.
\item{$\bullet$}  You will be given a TI-30 scientific calculator for the exam which 
does NOT have graphing capabilities so be prepared to answer questions without 
your personal calculator.  (Note: Some of you may have one of these calculators
purchased for use in Chemistry courses here.  That is also OK.)
\item{$\bullet$} Use of cell phones, I-pods, and all other electronic devices
{\it is not allowed} during the exam.  Please leave such devices in your room 
or put them away in your backpack (make sure cell phones are {\it turned off}).
\bigskip
\noindent
{\it What will be covered}
\bigskip
The first exam covers section 1.7, all of Chapter 2, and sections 3.1, 3.2.
This includes specifically:
\medskip
\item{1.}  Parametric curves (section 1.7)
\item{2.}  Limits (including one-sided and two-sided versions); calculating limits via algebraic manipulations
and the limit laws for sums, products, quotients, the ``squeeze theorem'' etc.  
\item{3.}  Continuity and properties of continuous functions
\item{4.}  How to tell $\lim_{x\to a} f(x) = \pm \infty$, what
$\lim_{x\to \pm \infty} f(x) = L$ means
\item{5.}  Derivatives via the limit definition, 
derivative functions, interpretations of $f'(a)$
as the slope of the tangent to $y = f(x)$ at $x = a$, and as the rate
of change of $f(x)$ with respect to $x$.
\item{6.}  What $f'$ and $f''$ say about $f$ (relation of sign of $f'$ 
to increasing or decreasing property of $f(x)$, relation of sign of $f''$ and 
concavity)
\item{7.}  Derivative rules for powers, exponentials, sums, constant multiples,
products, quotients.

{\it How to prepare}
\bigskip
You should go over the homework problems as well as your class notes. Many of the problems and questions we discuss in class are excellent examples of test questions. I have also listed some sample problems from the text below.  Answers can
be found in the text.

We will review for the exam in class on Tuesday, October 23. 
Come prepared with specific questions if there are things you want
to discuss.
