Checklist for Midterm Exam 3
Update
There will be one extra credit problem on the material related to the
2nd midterm.
General Instructions:
- 3rd midterm will consist of 6-8 questions. To obtain the full credit,
not only the correct answer but the calculations leading to the answer
must be shown. For multiple choice questions, the detailed answer is not required unless
stated otherwise.
- As usual, studying and practicing homework and other related problems is important
for the exam, but also some examples that I or your TAs have covered in lectures
and discussions may appear on the exam.
- No books, notes, calculators or other computer aid is permitted on the exam.
MidTerm Exam 3 Content:
Midterm Exam 3 will cover sections 8.7-8.8, 9.1-9.2, more specifically
- Taylor series and its applications. Construction. Remainder term. Estimating the error. Limits. Binomial Series. Excercises 8.7: 1-8,9-14 and Excercises 8.8: 7-12, 33-36

I have provided above some excercises which could be used to prepare for the exam.
Solving all these problems, however, is neither necessary nor
sufficient to succeed on the exam.
If you believe there has been a grading error on the exam, discuss it
first with your TA. If that doesn't settle the matter, then explain
the situation in writing and give it to me in class or put it in
my mailbox in 250 Altgeld. The deadline for all such requests is one week
after the exam has been returned. Note: this means one week after
your TA returned the exam, regardless of whether or not you were
in class to receive it on that day.
