Math 53, Final Exam

The final exam will be held Thursday Dec. 13, 811am, in Wheeler
Auditorium (100 Wheeler).
The exam will cover Chapters 13 (pp. 840-854 and 862-865 only), 14
(omitting 14.8), 15, and 16. Thus sections omitted for the midterms will
continue to be omitted for the final. The material in Chapter 12 on vectors
gets used everywhere in the later chapters, of course. But except perhaps
for some true-false questions, there wont be questions directly focussed on
Chap. 12. The exam will be somewhat weighted toward Chapter 16, and in
particular the material we covered after the second midterm.
It is possible you will have to reproduce the statement of a theorem or
proof on the exam. If so, it will come from the following list;
The Fundamental theorem on line integrals (box 2, p. 1075), together
with its proof.
The statements of the theorems in boxes 3 and 4 on p. 1077, and the
converse of the theorem in box 4, which is stated at the top of page
1077, but not boxed. (Roughly, these theorems say that a vector field
is conservative if and only if all its line integrals are independent of
path, and this is true if and only if the line integral of the field around
any closed path is 0.) You are not responsible for the proofs of these
theorems.
The statements of the theorems in boxes 3 and 4 on p. 1092-1093.
(These theorems give a test for conservativity for vector fields in R3 ,
based on the curl.
Greens theorem. (Box on p. 1084. Just the statement, not the proof.)
Stokes theorem. (Box on page 1122. Just the statement.)
The Divergence Theorem. (Box on p. 1129. Just the statement.)
There will be true/false questions again. I will put up a sample list today.
I will post an answer key next week, after youve had a chance to struggle
with them for a while. The rest of the exam will be like the homework, and
like the midterms.
