Thoughts about the course and exams.

• The cuts offs for A's, B's, ... will be based on the difficulity of the exam, not on the grade distribution.
• I will not give make-ups for the exams. If you have an actual emergency that keeps you from taking the exam at the scheduled time, I will need convincing evidence before I work with you to meet your needs. Otherwise I will record a 0
• You may use your textbook; but not your notes nor the student solution manual. However, if you have not kept up with the homework, you may not be able to find what you need in the book, nor be able to turn the pages fast enough.
• If I had the course to do over again, I would have you but a good reference book, such as Alan Jeffrey's Handbook of Mathematical Formulas and Integrals.
• You may use your calculator during the exam; however you are to say exactly how you use it.
• Again, if I had my way I would have your purchase or borrow a calculator with a CAS (Computer Algebra System). A calculator with a CAS can carry out all of the differentiation and integration problems. If you want to learn more, see the article in Wikipedia on CAS.

First exam with steps toward answers.
