- Complete
the Homework on
Exponential Functions.
- Test #1
will be given next Thursday,
9/24/2026 and will cover the material
from Assignments #3-#7, plus some definitions
and conceptual questions, as delineated on this Study Guide for Test
#1.
- 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.

- Note: this
homework has a lot more questions on it than usual,
because the material on linear function is review, but
I want to make sure everyone can negotiate the many
different ways questions can be asked regarding them.

[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.
