Office Hours Held in RH 410V (RH stands for Rowland Hall).

MW: 2-3pm.
F: 9-10am.

The TA for the other Math 3D section is Jared Hilliard. His office hours are MWF 1-2pm (after class). At RH 249/250.

Exam Date Reminders and Materials

Midterm Date: Wednesday July 6th in class. It is only one hour long.
. Reminder: There is HW due this day! It is on 1.5 and 2.2 both of which are relevant for the midterm. Also, your cheat sheet can only be ONE sided.
. If you want more problems: Since a lot of people have the Stewart Calculus book, see Chapters 9.3&5 and 17.1. These chapters only cover 1.3, 1.4, and 2.2 in the Lebl Notes. For substitution problems (1.5), go through all the Lebl exercises.
. Practice Quiz Solutions.
. Practice Midterm Solutions.
Please let me know if you see any possible errors! . Because the professor shifted office hours, I will hold office hours on Tuesday July 5th from 10am-12pm instead. Also, because the exam is on Wednesday, I will not have office hours that day.
. Midterm Solutions. There's some grading guidelines (not exact by any means).

Final Exam Date: Monday July 25th in the same time and place as lecture.
. Don't forget you get a double sided cheat sheet this time!
. My solutions to the Professor's Practice Final. Thanks for any and all corrections!
. Extra Office Hours: (Today from 1-3pm passed already), Monday 10-11am in my office (instead of discussion).
. Professor's Extra Hours: Monday 9-11am.

Notes and Resources
*1. Things not to do as a student. The author calls it a list of "badvice."

2. Integral Table reference for basic integrals. ** Please see a calculus book for review on integral techniques (For example, the Stewart book). ** Most if not all of these integrals can be done using those techniques, and you should be able to do integrals that way in case of emergency (i.e. exams).

3. Determinants: Cofactor Expansion: Notes and a video on this. There's also a Diagonal method for 3x3s: Notes and video. Computing determinants is necessary to get a matrix's characteristic polynomial.

4. Trignometric Identities cheat sheet if we ever need it. I really like this one because it gives brief derivations of them, too.

5. Inverting larger matrices with row reduction (recall from Linear Algebra). This is because there could be 3x3 matrices to invert apparently. We don't need this method for 2x2 matrices though, since we have a formula for that already.
Note: They slightly messed up the last example for 3 x 3. The last matrix is supposed to look like [ I | A ] (they didn't write identity on the left, but the last row operation R1 = R1 - 2R2 does give identity on the left).

6.
Academic Honesty. Know that you are really cheating yourself if you do so.

Homework Solutions. Please let me know if you see any mistakes!
Homework 1 Solutions. Solutions may not be as detailed in the future...
Homework 2 Solutions. Problem 1.3.10 is actually 1.3.9, I did the wrong one. (But it is very similar).
Homework 3 Solutions.
Homework 4 Solutions. Corrected 2.5.3 with undetermined coefficients, off by sign.
Homework 5 Solutions.
Homework 6 Solutions. Fixed sign in 7.2.3,
