MAT 127: Calculus C, Fall 2010Midterm I InformationWednesday, 10/06, 8:30-10:00pmL01,L02: Earth&Space (ESS) Bldg 001 L03: (Old) Engineering Bldg 145General Information(1) It is essential that you show up to the location for the section you are registered in. Bothlocations have limited seating, the proctors will have a limited number of exams at eachlocation, and if your exam gets mixed in with a different section, your exam grade may notbe recorded. You must bring your Stony Brook ID card to the exam.(2) Please show up no later than 8:25pm. The exam will begin at 8:30pm and you will not receiveextra time if you show up after 8:25pm.(3) Please take every other seat starting with the front row. Once a row fills up, please take aseat directly behind another person (not diagonally from another person). You can put yourbag and/or jacket on one of the seats next to you in the same row.(4) You will receive an exam booklet (7 pages stapled together), with questions and plenty ofspace for solutions. Scrap paper will be available upon request. You can staple additionalsheets to your exam booklet, but if you do so, please write your name and ID number oneach additional sheet and indicate in the exam booklet where to find your solution. Anyscrap paper that you not want to be graded should not be handed in (except separately fromthe exams, for recycling). The exact front cover of the exam (except for the grade box) isat the end of this handout; if you have any questions about the instructions, please ask yourinstructor before the exam.(5) No notes, books, calculators, or cell phones may be used during the exam. Please bringpencils/pens and an eraser. The only items that may be on your desk are pencils/pens, aneraser, exam booklet, and the scrap paper provided by the proctors.(6) When you receive the exam, please do not open it until the proctors say it is time to start.However, please do fill in your name and Stony Brook ID number and circle your sectionnumber on the front cover of the exam.(7) All problems on the exam should be stated unambiguously. If you feel there is an issue witha statement of a particular problem, please let a proctor know; however, the proctor will notconfirm whether your interpretation of the problem is correct.(8) When you are finished with the exam or when the time is called (whichever comes first),please take your exam booklet to the front along with your Stony Brook ID card. Put thebooklet in the pile for your section and sign the photo roster under your picture immediatelyafter. You can leave before the time is over, but please do so as quietly as possible and closethe door very gently.(9) Out of fairness to others, please do not open your exam booklet ahead of time and stopworking when the time is over. Your exam score will be reduced by 5 points per minute ofeither violation.(10) Copying answers from someone else or allowing someone else to copy your answers wouldconstitute a major breach of the University Student Conduct Code and lead to very sadconsequences. In particular, you would receive a 0 for the exam and be reported to theAcademic Judiciary (which would likely lead to significantly more unpleasant consequences).Before Midterm INote that PS4 is due earlier than usual. This will make it possible to post solutions to PS4 in theevening of Tuesday, 10/05.The midterm will cover Sections 7.1-7.5 from the textbook and the Notes on Second-Order LinearDifferential Equations. You should re-read these sections thoroughly, review Course Summary I,and study the solutions to PS1-4 (even if you did all/most problems correctly). Make sure youcan do all problem set exercises from the above six sections and some other related problems fromthe textbook and the notes, especially from pp547-548 (these do not cover second-order differentialequations though).The first midterms from Fall 05, Spring 06, and Fall 09 are available on the course website, alongwith solutions. Please try doing these midterms in 90 minutes (each) before looking at the solu-tions; at the very least, please do the Fall 09 exam under full test conditions (no calculators, nosolutions, no distractions). If you do not do well on these midterms, you should take this as a majorwarning. The first midterm in this class will be similar in many aspects to these midterms (espe-cially the one from Fall 09), though there will be some differences. In particular, your midterm willhave 6 problems, with two shorter problems roughly replacing the longest problem on the Fall 09midterm. While the Fall 05 midterm contains a mixing problem (which will not appear on yourexam), instead of an Euler’s method problem (which will appear on your exam), you should stillbe able to do the Fall 05 midterm.A lot of you have at least a rough idea as to what has been happening in the course, but someof you have difficulty implementing this in practice. As it is the latter which is important (andevaluated on the exams), it is essential to be able to do the textbook problems correctly. The onlyway to do this is to try to do as many of them as possible and at the very least make every effortto do the assigned exercises.While this midterm will not be easy, do not be surprised if your score on the second midterm endsup being around 15 points lower (a few of you may manage to raise your score by a few points ormay drop it by 30-40 points, but 15-point drops are likely to be typical). If you do not do wellon the first midterm, you’ll have essentially no chance of passing this course; see Table 3 on p7in the Additional Course Information handout. So you need to prepare as much as possible forthis midterm and to avoid making grievous errors on it, including those at the top of p7 of theAdditional Course Information handout; such errors will result in severe penalties and may lead tonegative scores on individual problems.If you have any questions, please come to office hours (lots of them Monday-Wednesday!), MLC,and/or a Residential Tutoring Center. There will also be a review session on Tuesday, October 5,7-9pm in Math P-131; this will be question-and-answer (so if you do not have any questions, therewill be no answers and no review session).After Midterm IDetailed solutions to the midterm will be available on the course website on Thursday morning;please print these out before the following lecture. If the solutions do not satisfactorily explain howyour solution to a particular problem was graded, please check with the primary grader for
