Notes:

(1) The test will be available to download here or in Avenue to Learn. You may print the test and complete the test questions directly on the test paper, or, if you do not have access to a printer, you may complete the questions on your own paper. If you choose the second option, please clearly indicate the question that you are answering on your page.

(2) The test should be written individually and in your own handwriting, but you may use your notes and textbook, as needed.

(3) When you have completed the test, please sign each page and either scan, or take good quality pictures of the pages. Combine all pages (in the correct order) into a single pdf file and label with your last name (for example, my file would have the file name test3_clements.pdf).

(4) Upload your test into the Test 3 folder in Avenue. That's it!

Material covered on Test 3: sections 6.4, 7.1 - 7.5.

To prepare:

(1) Study your lecture notes; in particular go over all examples that were done in class. You will need to know how to take derivatives and fully simplify your answers without making errors. Also, you should be able to do this relatively quickly... it shouldn't take longer than 1-2 minutes for the majority of functions. In chapter 7, there are a lot of new definitions and notation to get used to so plan to spend a lot of time reviewing notes, reading through the textbook and working on assignments and textbook questions. Again, you need to do many examples in order to gain confidence with different integration techniques and interpretations.

(2) From your coursepack: study assignment 18, assignment 19, assignment 20, assignment 21, assignment 22, assignment 23, assignment 24 (questions 1-5 only), assignment 25, assignment 26 (all questions except 3c), assignment 27 (questions 1, 2, 3 only).

** To practice multiple choice and true/false questions, work on assignment 42 (questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 only), and assignment 43 (all questions). To practice math in context, study assignment 53 (questions 1, 2 only) and assignment 55 (all questions) **

(3) Study all questions (except 1de, 5, 6c) on the Math 1LS3 Test 3 from fall 2018 posted here. Study all questions (except 1a, 2b, 4) from the Math 1LS3 Test 3 from fall 2019 posted here; the solutions will be posted under the SOLUTIONS link.

(4) Which formulas do I need to know? Formula for Taylor polynomials of degree n; differentiation and corresponding antidifferentiation formulas, as they appear in lectures and homework assignments; also, you need to know the formula for Euler's method. Formulas related to applications will be given on the test, as needed.

(5) If you feel that, after finishing (1), (2) and (3) above, you need extra practice - identify things you are not sure about, find which textbook sections they belong to and then work on some suggested practice questions from those sections. You will not have time to do all questions, so you need to focus on the material you have most problems with.

(6) You are expected to know how to explain, in words, concepts covered in the above listed sections, and be able to quote definitions that were mentioned in lectures (for instance left/right/midpoint sum, definition of the definite integral, statement of the FTC).

TEST 2 * 3 March 2020

Where do I write the test? Look at time and locations below (campus map). You must write your test in the room designated to you. See the instructions below the table for schedule conflicts.

Material covered on Test 2: sections 4.4, 4.5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, and 6.1.
[Note: Other sections may be covered in lectures before Test 2, but those sections will not be on Test 2]

To prepare:

(1) Study your lecture notes; in particular, go over all examples that were done in class. Try to redo these exercises without looking at your notes. To make sure you understand something, check - if you are able to explain to yourself (or someone else) what the exercise you just did is about, or if you can state in your words the definition you just read from your notes or the textbook, that's good!

(2) From your coursepack: study assignment 10 (questions 3-6), assignments 11 and 12 (all questions); assignment 13 (all, except #6,7); assignments 14-16 (all questions). To practice multiple choice and true/false questions, work on assignment 41 (questions 1-6, 9, 10). To practice math in context, study assignment 53 (questions 1a, 1b, 2 and 4 only) and assignment 54 (questions 1, 2, 4 only).

(3) Study all questions from the Math 1LS3 Test 2 from fall 2019 posted here. From your coursepack: study questions 1d and 6b on Math 1LS3 Test 1 from fall 2018 posted here; study all questions except 3 on Math 1LS3 Test 2 from fall 2018 posted here.

All relevant solutions are posted under SOLUTIONS link. Do not read solutions right away - that's why blank assignments and blank tests are provided. Try doing it all by yourself first; then, look at solutions. When you look at solutions, pay attention to how solutions are written. It will help you to figure out how much you need to write when you will be answering test questions. As well, you will see that there is very little in terms of formulas that you need to memorize.

(4) Which formulas do I need to know? All differentiation formulas. Formula for nth degree Taylor polynomial. Formulas related to applications will be given on the test, as needed.

(5) If you feel that, after finishing (1), (2) and (3) above, you need extra practice - identify things you are not sure about, find which textbook sections they belong to and then work on some suggested practice questions from those sections. You will not have time to do all questions, so you need to focus on the material you have most problems with.

(6) Come to tutorials (suggest questions, over email or otherwise, that you wish your TA to discuss); use the Math Help Centre for additional help; and attend the review session. Details for the review session are posted below:

(7) You are expected to know how to explain, in words, concepts covered in the above listed sections, and be able to quote definitions that were mentioned in lectures (for instance, the definition of the derivative, the definition of continuity, the definition of a critical number, etc.).

(8) The most important thing for this test - as for test 1 - is routine.

TEST 1 * 4 February 2020

Where do I write the test? Look at time and locations below (campus map). You must write your test in the room designated to you. See the instructions below the table for schedule conflicts.

Material covered on Test 1: sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.
[Note: Other sections may be covered in lectures before Test 1, but those sections will not be on Test 1]

To prepare:

(1) Study your lecture notes; in particular, go over all examples that were done in class. Try to redo these exercises without looking at your notes. To make sure you understand something, check - if you are able to explain to yourself (or someone else) what the exercise you just did is about, or if you can state in your words the definition you just read from your notes or the textbook, that's good!

(2) From your coursepack: study all questions on assignments 0-9 (all questions), assignment 10 (questions 1, 2 only), 50 (questions 1, 2, 4), 51 (questions 1, 2, 5, 6), and 52 (questions 1, 2, 3). As well, study assignment 40 (all questions) and 41 (questions 4, 5, 8 only) to practice multiple choice and true/ false questions.

(3) Study all questions on the Math 1LS3 Test 1 from fall 2019 posted here and all questions, except #6b, on the Math 1LS3 Test 1 from fall 2018 posted here (and also available in your coursepack); the solutions will be posted under SOLUTIONS link. Do not read test solutions right away - that's why blank tests are provided! Try doing it all by yourself first; then, look at solutions. When you look at solutions, pay attention to how solutions are written. It will help you to figure out how much you need to write when you will be answering test questions. As well, you will see that there is very little in terms of formulas that you need to memorize.

(4) Which formulas do I need to know? Rule of thumb: math formulas that were discussed in class, or appear in assignments, or sample tests you need to know. Formulas related to applications, and/or units conversion factors will be given on the test, if needed.

(5) If you feel that, after finishing (1), (2) and (3) above, you need extra practice - identify things you are not sure about, find which textbook sections they belong to and then work on some suggested practice questions from those sections. You will not have time to do all questions, so you need to focus on the material you have most problems with.

(6) Come to tutorials (suggest questions, over email or otherwise, that you wish your TA to discuss); use the Math Help Centre for additional help; and attend the review session. Details for the review session are posted below:

(7) You are expected to know how to explain, in words, concepts covered in the above listed sections, and be able to quote definitions that were mentioned in lectures (for instance, vertical line test, definition of composition of two functions, difference between linear and non-linear function, etc.).

(8) The most important thing for this test is routine (things like solving basic inequalities, canceling fractions, knowing how to draw basic graphs such as x^3 or square root of x, etc.). Test questions will be familiar to you, and quite possibly you will know right away what you need to do - the issue will be to do required calculations and to answer questions correctly, within given time limit (60 minutes). If you know the material, and have practiced enough, you will find that the test is doable in less than 60 minutes. However, if it takes you 5 minutes or more to solve 3+4x>9, or to graph y=x^0.45, or to cancel the fraction (x^2-1)/(x-1), then you will not be able to complete the test on time.
