Final & Grades

Final grades are posted. The registrar should have "rolled" them last night. To pick up your final either (1) email me over break and we can meet at my office; or (2) stop by next semester.

Good job on the final and overall. You guys were a fun class!

* Extra Credit *

I have uploaded six extra credit problems to the "Quiz and Exam Keys" link to the right. Each question is worth up to 5 pts. You should attempt all six, but hand in only your best four.

They are due no later than Thursday, December 11.

You are welcome to work with other students, ask me questions, or go to the MLC. But you must hand in your own copy.

Have fun!

Chapter 4, Section 8

Newton's method. Some websites with good resources:

Newton's Method @ Wiki
Newtons Method @ utah (includes a nifty applet)

Chapter 4, Section 7

Optimization problems... do the worksheet as well as the homework problems. In all of them, write down the domain. Don't forget to test the endpoints (if applicable) or the use a derivative test to prove that the critical value you found is truly a max/min.
