  • Note: the date for Test #1 is different than we discussed in class.  The homework on exponential functions is quite extensive, and I would like you to have a bit more time to digest it, especially since you are studying for a quiz this Thursday.  I will take questions on the exponentials homework next Tuesday.

[Quiz #3]
[Solutions]

  • Preliminary Tasks:
    • Quiz #1:  Complete the Student Profile Survey before Thursday 8/27/2026.  This will count as Quiz #1 (0% if you don't complete it, 100% otherwise).  But, read the next bullet before completing the survey.
    • Quiz #2:  Carefully read through your syllabus.  In it you will find embedded words that very clearly do not belong; for example, the word "giraffe" may appear in the middle of a sentence, or some such word.  In the appropriate box on the Student Profile Survey, list all of the words that don't belong in the syllabus.  This will count as Quiz #2.
    • Quiz #3:  Read "A Prayer for Archimedes" and "Jesuits May Have Helped Newton to 'Discover' Calculus."  Then, complete Quiz #3, which will be due on Tuesday, 9/01/2026.  Please print out Quiz #3, answer the questions on that paper, and turn that paper in during class on Tuesday.
  • Textbook:  I don't typically make use of the textbook, but if you want a reference that contains most of the ideas we cover in this course, you can download Applied Calculus by Calaway, Hoffman, and Lipman.
