Mth 251 Documents

Last updated March 07, 2008

This page lists assignments, old tests, notes, Maple worksheets, sample problems, etc., for Mth 251. You may find this material useful for studying. Expect some overlaps in the various files. Eventually very old files will dribble off the bottom.

Many of the documents are in Portable Document Format (PDF) or are Maple worksheets (MWS). PDF files are "Portable Document Files." You can use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, available at http://www.adobe.com, to view or print PDF files. The Acrobat Reader plug-in is installed in the browser(s) on many campus computers. There are many other software packages for reading PDF files. Maple Worksheets require Maple to be useful.

Problems viewing or printing PDF files. Please report any problems you have reading or printing my PDF files.

For some of the tests and sample problems below I have listed the answers. When creating a list of problems I often edit the problems several times but forget to edit the answers! I make a careful list of answers for grading purposes, but that list is often lost. Other errors occur too. So take my suggested answers with a very large grain of salt and check your answers, especially if we disagree.

2008 Winter Mth 251 Differential Calculus Test 2
PDF 34 KB, 3 pages, 8 problems

Answers: / CAD / ACBE / C /.
Note: There was a misprint on the class test (corrected here). The exponents in answers C and D should be negative. The absence of the minus sign was probably barely visible during the pressure of working on the test. Thus I gave full credit for the answer E (since it was actually correct) as well. Several other small errors on the test were corrected in class and on the attached version of the test.
