1.4 Evaluation of Your Progress

1.4.1 Your final grade
Your grade in this course will be a letter grade, based on a percentage grade computed
from three components:
• Six5 or more WeBWorK homework assignments (cf. §1.4.2) — counting together
for 15%.
• Quizzes given at the tutorials — counting together for either 15% or 0%.6
• The final examination — counting for either 70% or 85%.

Where a student’s performance on the final examination is superior to her performance
on the tutorial quizzes, the final examination grade will replace the quiz grade in the
calculations. It is not planned to permit the examination grade to replace the grade on
WeBWorK assignments.
1.4.2 WeBWorK Assignments.

As in MATH 140 and 139 last semester, we will be using the WeBWorK system,
developed at the University of Rochester — which is designed to expose you to a large
number of drill problems, and where plagiarism is discouraged. WeBWorK is accessible
only over the Web. Details on how to sign on to WeBWorK are contained in Appendix
E to these notes, page 4001.
In addition to the expected six WeBWorK assignments which will “count” in the
computation of your WeBWorK grade, there may be other practice assignments.
It is expected that the due date for assignments in this course will be on specified
Fridays7 , at midnight. As mentioned in the WeBWorK FAQ cf. §E) if you leave your
WeBWorK assignment until the hours close to the due time on the due date, you
should not be surprised if the systems are slow to respond. This is not a malfunction,
but is simply a reflection of the fact that other students have also been procrastinating!
To benefit from the speed that the servers can deliver under normal conditions, do not
delay your WeBWorK until the last possible day! If a systems failure interferes with
the due date of an assignment, arrangements will be made to change that date, and an
e-mail message will be broadcast to all users (to the e-mail addresses on record); but a
5
Note that there are expected to be at least 6 assignments — not 5, which was the case in Math 140
last semester.
6
Note that, unlike MATH 140 last semester, the five quizzes count equally.
7
Students with course, social, religious, or other obligations on Fridays must budget their time so
that their assignments are submitted prior to the deadline, as requests for extensions will normally not
be entertained.
degradation of speed in a system just before the due time will not normally be considered
a systems failure.
1.4.3 Quizzes at the Tutorials

1. There will be about 5 short quizzes, administered at the tutorials, each lasting
about 30 minutes including time for distribution and collection. These quizzes will
be graded, and returned. No provision is being made for students who miss a quiz.
The grading formula permits the quiz component of the final grade to be replaced
by the final examination grade, if this is to the student’s advantage.
2. The quizzes will be based on topics in the syllabus of the course, most8 of which
topics will have been discussed in the lectures or in the tutorials, but not necessarily
in both. While it may happen that a quiz problem may resemble a WeBWorK
problem, the tutors, in grading your quizzes, will look at more than the answers
you obtain: you will be expected to show your work in a reasonably correct way:
this is the same emphasis that dominates the grading of your final examination.
The solutions to textbook problems in the Student Solutions Manual can be used
as a guide to what should be included in an ideal “full” solution.
3. You are registered in just one tutorial section, and you should write each quiz in
the tutorial section in which you are registered. Should the classroom become filled
while some registered students still cannot be seated, the tutor may insist that any
students who are not registered in that tutorial leave the room.9 10
4. Your tutor will normally return graded quizzes at the tutorial following the session
when they were written. University regulations do not permit the leaving of un-
claimed materials bearing names and student numbers in unsupervised locations;
you may be able to recover an unclaimed quiz from the tutor who graded it, during
her/his regular office hours. It is hoped that the grades obtained on a quiz will
be mounted on WebCT during the week when the next quiz is being written. You
are responsible for checking to see that the grade shown agrees with that on your
graded paper; if you do not retrieve your graded paper, you will not only lack any
evidence to support a claim of erroneous recording, but you will not have a docu-
ment that could be useful to you in reviewing for the final examination. You are
8
but possibly not all
9
Anyone who is not registered, and who does not leave a tutorial room when so requested may forfeit
the right to write quizzes at any tutorial. We ask you to respect the prior right of students who have
registered for each tutorial.
10
A quiz may be administered at any time during the 2-hour tutorial. Students who arrive late for a
quiz should expect to be asked to submit their papers with everyone else.
invited to report errors in the recording of quiz grades, provided you do so within
3 weeks of the time the grades have been posted on WebCT. In the case of the last
quiz, any errors in the recording of grades must be reported before the day of the
final examination.11
5. Unlike the practice in MATH 140 last semester, the grade you obtain on the
first quiz, given during the week of January 20th, 2003, counts equally
with the other quizzes in your term mark.
6. How significant is the term mark? Students tend to exaggerate the significance
of the term mark in computing their final mark. Consider the following example.
Suppose a student obtains the unlikely grade of 100% on each of 5 quizzes, and a
grade of only 50% on the final examination. What will be the effect of the term
mark on the 85% of the final mark that is not based on WeBWorK? The difference
between the two grades (out of 85) will be 100−50
100
× 15 = 7.5; each of the unlikely
1
100% quiz grades will have contributed only 5 × 7.5 = 1.5 marks to this difference!
The best reason for doing the quizzes is to help you evaluate your progress in the
course; the resulting benefits of allocating your time where it is needed could result
in considerably more than 1.5 marks per quiz.12
7. Missed quizzes There will be no “make-up” quizzes. Please do not ask your
tutor to administer a special quiz if you had to miss one. If you have a medical
certificate, you should submit a copy to Professor Brown, and request that your
term mark be computed from the other quizzes.
Late registration in the course Students who register in the course up to the
end of the Course Change Period are expected to write the first quiz in their tutorial
at the normal time, and to submit the first WeBWorK assignment by its normal
due date.
1.4.4 Final Examination

A 3-hour-long final examination will be scheduled during the regular examination period
for the winter term (Monday, April 14th, 2003 through Wednesday, April 30th, 2003).
You are advised not to make any travel arrangements that would prevent you from
being present on campus at any time during this period. Students who have religious or
other constraints that could affect their ability to write examinations at particular times
11
These deadlines refer to errors in the recording of grades. Questions concerning the grading itself
must be discussed with the tutor at the time that the graded quizzes are returned to the tutorial section,
normally at the session immediately following the one when the quiz was administered.
12
This “worst case scenario” is unlikely in another respect: typically students could be expected to
perform in a similar fashion on quizzes and examinations; a difference of 100% − 50% should be unusual.
should watch for the Preliminary Examination Timetable, as their rights to apply for
special consideration at their faculty may have expired by the time the final examination
timetable is published.
1.4.5 Supplemental Assessments

Supplemental Examination. There will be a supplemental examination in this course.
(For information about Supplemental Examinations, see the McGill Calendar, [12, §8.1,
p. 364; or §8.1, p. 49].)
There is No Additional Work Option. “Will students with marks of D, F, or J

have the option of doing additional work to upgrade their mark?” No. (“Additional
Work” refers to an option available in certain Arts and Science courses, but not available
in this course.)
1.4.6 Machine Scoring

“Will the final examination be machine scored?” While there could be Multiple Choice
questions on quizzes, and/or the Final Examination, such questions will not be machine
scored.
1.4.7 Plagiarism
While students are not discouraged from discussing WeBWorK assignment problems
with their colleagues, the work that you submit — whether through WeBWorK or on
tutorial quizzes or the final examination must be your own. The Handbook on Student
Rights and Responsibilities states in ¶15(a)13 that
“No student shall, with intent to deceive, represent the work of another person
as his or her own in any academic writing, essay, thesis, research report,
project or assignment submitted in a course or program of study or represent
as his or her own an entire essay or work of another, whether the material so
represented constitutes a part or the entirety of the work submitted.”

The textbook for the course this semester is J. Stewart, SINGLE VARIABLE CAL-
CULUS: Early Transcendentals, Fourth Edition, Brooks/Cole (1999), ISBN
0-534-35563-3, [1]. This book is the first half of J. Stewart, CALCULUS: Early
Transcendentals, Fourth Edition, Brooks/Cole (1999), ISBN 0-534-36298-2, [2];
this edition covers the material for Calculus III as well, but may not be the text-book
for that course in the future.
1.5.2 Optional Reference Books

It is recommended that students make use of the student solution manual: D. Ander-
son, J. A. Cole, D. Drucker, STUDENT SOLUTIONS MANUAL FOR STEW-
ART’S SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS: Early Transcendentals, Fourth

1.6 Other information

1.6.1 Prerequisites
It is your responsibility as a student to verify that you have the necessary prerequisite.
It would be foolish to attempt to take the course without it.
Students who obtained only a grade of C in MATH 140 would be advised to make a
special effort to reinforce their foundations in differential calculus; if weakness in MATH
140 or MATH 139 was a consequence of poor preparation for that course, it is not too
late to strengthen those foundations as well.
In the past students with a grade of D in MATH 140 or MATH 139 have been
permitted to take MATH 141 at their own risk, provided they have also registered for
MATH 140 or have applied to write the supplemental examination in the course in which
they obtained the D. Students with only a D who contemplate registering for MATH
141 should recognize that it places a large number of credits at risk, and could have
a substantial negative effect on their GPA if they have overestimated their ability; it
is safer to obtain “standing” (grade C or better) in MATH 139 or MATH 140 before
registering for MATH 141.
1.6.2 Calculators
The use of calculators is not permitted in either quizzes or the examination in this course.
Students whose previous mathematics courses have been calculator-oriented would be
advised to make particular efforts to avoid the use of a calculator in solving problems
15
These old examinations are being made available to indicate the types of questions that have been
asked on past examinations; they are not intended for study purposes, and no solutions will be published;
nor is there any commitment to model the examinations in this course on past examinations. Students
are advised to base their study on the textbook, particularly worked examples and odd-numbered
exercises.
16
cf. Appendix E to these notes , p. 4001
in this course, in order to develop a minimal facility in manual calculation. This means
that you are urged to do all arithmetic by hand.
1.6.3 Self-Supervision
This is not a high-school course, and McGill is not a high school. The monitoring of
your progress before the final examination is largely your own responsibility. While the
tutors and instructors are available to help you, they cannot do so unless and until you
identify the need for help. WeBWorK and quizzes are designed to assist you in doing
this.
Time Demands of your Other Courses. Be sure to budget enough time to attend
lectures and tutorials, for private study, and for the solution of many problems. Don’t be
tempted to divert calculus study time to courses which offer instant gratification. While
the significance of the tutorial quizzes in the computation of your grade is minimal, these
are important learning experiences, and can assist you in gauging your progress in the
course. This is not a course that can be crammed for: you must work steadily through
the term if you wish to develop the facilities needed for a strong performance on the final
examination.
Working Problems on Your Own. In addition to working the problems on the

WeBWorK assignments on your own, you are advised to work large numbers of prob-
lems from your textbook. Mathematicians know from experience that this is the only
effective way to master the calculus. Your textbook was selected partly because of the
availability of an excellent Student Solution Manual [3]; this manual has brief but com-
plete solutions to most of the odd-numbered exercises in the textbook. The skills you
acquire in solving textbook problems may have more influence on your final grade than
either WeBWorK or the quizzes.
1.6.4 Escape Routes

At any time, even after the last date for dropping the course, students who are experi-
encing medical or personal difficulties should not hesitate to consult their advisors or the
Student Affairs office of their faculty. Don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by such
problems; the University has resource persons who may be able to help you.
1.6.5 Which is the more important — WeBWorK or the quizzes?

Both WeBWorK and the quizzes are directed to the same purpose — to help you learn
calculus. They are both useful for that purpose, but in different ways, since each has
restrictions to its usefulness; as WeBWorK emphasizes getting the right answer to a

problem, we are trying to use the quizzes to monitor another side of your development in
the calculus — using correct reasoning, and being able to express your solutions in a style
that others can read. To concentrate your efforts on one or other of these activities or on
both of them to the exclusion of working problems on your own would be shortsighted.
1.6.6 Showing your work; good mathematical form; simplifying answers

When, in a quiz or examination problem, you are explicitly instructed to show all your
work, failure to do so could result in a substantial loss of marks — possibly even all
of the marks; this is the default on quizzes and examinations. Sometime you will be
explicitly instructed not to show your work, but only to show certain answers; this is
usually the case in WeBWorK.
While your instructors and tutors will always be attempting to communicate to you
the rudiments of good form in written mathematics, that is not the emphasis in this
course (because of constraints of time, class size, etc.) If you are in doubt about what
constitutes “good form”, try to model your solutions on those you see in the textbook
and in the Student Solutions Manual. The guiding principle should be that you want to
be able to communicate your precise reasoning to others and to yourself.
Some students arrive at McGill from high school contexts where they were always
required to “simplify” solutions, according to very precise regulations. Occasionally you
will be instructed, in a quiz or examination problem, to simplify “as much as possible”,
or something to that effect. In such a situation you should follow that instruction: here
again, failure to do so could result in a substantial loss of marks — possibly even all of
the marks. In other cases, you should use good judgment. The purpose of simplification
should be to render your solution more transparent to yourself (as well as reducing the
possibility that a grader might not be able to read a messy, complicated formula).
To summarize: Aside from explicit requirements to show work (the default on quizzes
and examination and to simplify, you should be motivated to perfect your skills in both
of these areas by the need to be able to communicate mathematical ideas in writing,
both to others, and to yourself when you reread your work; and to assist you in verifying
your computations.

A.2 Applying the Fundamental Theorem of the (Integral) Cal-

culus
Distribution Date: Wednesday, January 15th, 2003
This discussion is taken from notes given to students in Section 1 in January,

2000 [13, pp. 1003-1004].
A.2.1 When the integrand has removable discontinuities

Suppose that a function f is continuous at all points in a closed interval [a, b] except for
a point c such that a < c < b; and that this discontinuity is removable; i.e., that lim f (x)
x→c
exists, but that either f is not defined at c, or f is defined there, but the function value
differs from the limit. Then it can be shown that if we “remove” the discontinuity by
replacing f by a new function f1 defined by
(
f (x) when x 6= c
f1 (x) = lim f (x) when x = c ,
x→c
Z b Z b
then f (x) dx = f1 (x) dx. The same statement can be made even if there are
a a
finitely many such removable discontinuities in the interval; also if the there is a re-
movable singularity at either of the end-points x = a or x = b (where we look only at,
respectively lim+ f (x) and lim− f (x).)
x→a x→b
Rb
A.2.2 Evaluation of f (x) dx where f is “piecewise continuous” on [a, b].
a
To apply the Fundamental Theorem we require that the integrand be continuous on

the interval. If the interval can be expressed as a union of a finite number of adjacent,
non-overlapping, closed subintervals, over each of which f is continuous (except possibly
for a removable discontinuity at the end-points), then the integral will be the the sum
of the integrals over the subintervals. For example, suppose that
½
1 when 1 ≤ x ≤ 2
f2 (x) =
2 when 2 < x ≤ 3
We may first break the interval of integration into two parts:

Z 3 Z 2 Z 3
f2 (x) dx = f2 (x) dx + f2 (x) dx ;
1 1 2
then “remove” the discontinuity in the integrand of the second integral (changing the
function value at x = 2 from 1 to 2):
Z 3 Z 2 Z 3
f2 (x) dx = 1 dx + 2 dx .
1 1 2
Only now can we apply the Fundamental Theorem, to evaluate the original integral:
Z 3 Z 2 Z 3
f2 (x) dx = 1 dx + 2 dx = [1x]21 + [2x]32 = 3 .
1 1 2
A.2.3 Splitting an interval of integration even where the integrand is con-

tinuous
It is always permitted to split an interval of integration into a finite number of adjacent,
non-overlapping, closed subintervals. Sometimes this is convenient even when the inte-
grand is continuous. One such situation is where it is inconvenient to use the same kind
of description for a function over the full interval — the most common applications are
those where the integrand involves |x|. Consider, for example, [7, Exercise 5.6.20] the
R2
problem of evaluating |x| dx. Here the integrand is continuous; one antiderivative is
−1
( )
− 12 x2 when x ≤ 0 1
f3 (x) = = x|x|
1 2
2
x when x > 0 2
(The proof that f30 (0) = 0 requires looking at two one-sided limits.) The Fundamental
£ ¤2
Theorem may be applied, yielding a value of 12 x|x| −1 = |2| − 12 (−1)| − 1| = 52 . However,
this computation is confusing to some students, and can be simplified by splitting the
integral into subintervals so that the absolute value function need not be used. Then the
Fundamental Theorem may still be applied, but the computations are easier:
Z 2 Z 0 Z 2
|x| dx = |x| dx + |x| dx

A.3 A problem on a self-intersecting curve

Distribution Date: Discussed at the lecture of Wednesday, March 5th, 2003
Mounted on the Web on Wednesday, March 5th, 2003
[1, Exercise 10.2.28, p. 654] At what point(s) does the curve
x = 1 − 2 cos2 t (1)
y = (tan t)(1 − 2 cos2 t) (2)
cross itself? Find the equations of all tangents at those points.
A.3.1
We observe that there are points on the curve corresponding to all real numbers t except
odd integer multiples of π2 , since the tangent is undefined for such values. Since the
tangent and cosine functions are both periodic with period 2π, we will generate the
entire curve by allowing t to range over an interval of length 2π (excluding any odd
multiples of π2 in the interval). However, the square of the cosine is periodic with period
π, as is the tangent function; thus it suffices to confine t to an interval of length π;
since we must exclude odd multiples of π2 , it is convenient to take this interval to range
between 2 such numbers; we choose to take
π π
− <t<+ . (3)
2 2
A.3.2
We are seeking distinct values of t where the values of x and y are equal; in the simplest
case we look for t1 and t2 such that
t1 6= t2 (4)
π π
− < t1 < + (5)
2 2
π π
− < t2 < + (6)
2 2
Equation (1) may be rewritten as
cos 2t1 = cos 2t2 . (7)
In the intervals (5), (6) — equivalently, for
−π < 2t1 < +π (8)

−π < 2t2 < +π (9)
the evenness of the cosine function, and the fact that it is increasing for t < 0 and
decreasing for t > 0, ensure that the only distinct values 2t1 and 2t2 where the cosine
will have the same values are points such that t1 = −t2 .19 Equation (2) reduces to
2(tan t1 )(cos 2t1 ) = 0 (10)
which is satisfied when t1 is an integer multiple of 0 (for the factor tan t1 ) or when
cos 2t1 = 0. But, subject to (8), the only place where the tangent can vanish is t1 = 0,
and that is excluded, as then t2 = t1 . The only other possibility is that 2t1 = ± π2 , i.e.
t1 = ± π4 . Thus we see that the curve will cross itself at the points with parameter values
t = ± π4 . Both of these values yield the same point in the plane — the origin.
A.3.3
Since the equations of the curve may be rewritten in the form
x = − cos 2t (11)
y = tan t − sin 2t , (12)
the slope of the tangent at the point with parameter value t is

dy
dy dt
= dx
dx dt
sec2 t − 2 cos 2t
=
2 sin 2t
dy
When t = ± π4 , dx
= ±1. The equations of the lines through the origin with these slopes
are y = ±x.
A.3.4
This curve has other interesting properties. As t → ± π2 , x → 1 from the left, while
y → ±∞: the curve is asymptotic to the line x = 1. A sketch of the curve can be found
in [1, p. 225], although the curve shown there has been rotated from its location in the
present example. The curve is called the folium of Descartes.
19
This
¡ can¢ be proved
¡ u−v ¢ in another way by using the trigonometric identity cos u − cos v =
−2 sin u+v
2 sin 2 . The product sin(t1 + t2 ) sin(t1 − t2 ) is zero only where t1 − t2 = 0 — which is
forbidden — or t1 = −t2 .
A.4 Finding the intersections of curves in polar coordinates

Distribution Date: Mounted on the Web on Wednesday, March 12th, 2003
The purpose of this note is to correct a false impression in another textbook [7, Example
8, p. 579]. In that example the objective was to find the points where the curves
r = 1 + sin θ (13)
r2 = 4 sin θ (14)
intersect. It was stated in the textbook solution that only one of the points of intersection
can be found algebraically, and that the others can be found only “when the equations
are graphed”. We show here all intersection points can be found algebraically! We never
resort to calculations on a sketch: all procedures can be justified theoretically — the
sketch serves only to help visualize a situation that can be adequately described verbally
and/or with mathematical formulæ.
–1 –0.5 0 0.5 1
–1
–2
Had the curves been given in cartesian coordinates, we could have found all intersections
by solving the equations simultaneously. Why can’t we solve the polar equations in
the same way? The difficulty derives from the fact that any point has infinitely many
different polar representations. More precisely, a point that can be represented by polar
coordinates (r, θ) also has coordinates ((−1)n r, θ +nπ), where n is any integer — positive
or negative; moreover, the pole can be represented by (0, θ), where θ is any real number.
To determine the points of intersection, one must consider the possibility that the same
point appears with different coordinates.
Solve the given equations algebraically: By eliminating sin θ between the two equa-
tions, we obtain r2 = 4(r − 1), which implies that (r − 2)2 = 0, so r = 2, and
π
sin θ = 2 − 1 = 1. Hence θ = + 2mπ, where m is any integer, and the points of
³ π ´2
intersection are 2, + 2mπ : but, by the convention described above, these are
2 ³ π´
representations of the same point, whose “simplest” representation is 2, .
2
Transform the equations in all possible ways and solve again: Apply to one of
the equations the transformation
(r, θ) 7→ (−r, θ + π) (15)
and solve it with the original form of the other equation. Repeat this process until
the equations transform to a pair already solved. Equation (13) transforms to
−r = 1 + sin(θ + π) (16)
which is equivalent to
r = −1 + sin θ (17)
√
which equation√ we solve with (14). Eliminating sin θ yields r = 2 ± 2 2, so
sin θ = 3 ± 2 2. The upper √ sign is inadmissible, as a sine cannot exceed 1 in
magnitude. Hence r = 2 − 2 2 and
√
sin θ = 3 − 2 2 . (18)
−1
√ −1
The
√ solutions to (18) are θ = sin (3 − 2 2) + 2mπ and θ = π − sin (3 −
2 2) +¡2mπ; √ we may take m√ =¢ 0, as¡ all other
√ values−1of m give√ the¢ same two
−1
points: 2 − 2 2, sin (3 − 2 2) and 2 − 2 2, π − sin (3 − 2 2) . As the first
coordinate
¡ √ in these cases
√ is negative,
¢ ¡ we
√ could equally well represent
√ ¢ the points as
−1 −1
2 2 − 2, sin (3 − 2 2) + π and 2 2 − 2, − sin (3 − 2 2) .
A second application of (15), to (16), restores the original equation; hence there
are no other intersection points, except possibly the pole.
µ ¶
3π
Check whether the pole is on both curves: On (13) the pole appears as 0, ,
2
etc.; on (14) it appears as (0, 0), etc. Thus the pole is also a point of intersection.
The reason we did not find it when we solved pairs of equations is that it appears
on the two curves only with different sets of coordinates, no two related by (15).

C.2 1999/2000
(Students had access to brief solutions that were mounted on the web.)
C.2.1 Assignment 1
Before attempting problems on this assignment you are advised to try some “easy”
problems in the textbook. In most of the following problems there is a reference to a
“similar” problem in the textbook. You should always endeavour to show as much of

E.1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
E.1.1 Where is WeBWorK?
WeBWorK is located on Web servers of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
and is accessible at the following URL’s:
http://msr01.math.mcgill.ca/webwork/m141w03
or
http://msr02.math.mcgill.ca/webwork/m141w03
If your student number ends with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, you should use the URL
http://msr01.math.mcgill.ca/webwork/m141w03;
if your student number ends with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, you should use
http://msr02.math.mcgill.ca/webwork/m141w03.
E.1.2 Do I need a password to use WeBWorK?

You will need a user code and a password.
Your user code. Your user code will be your 9-digit student number.
Your password. Your initial password will be your 9-digit student ID number. You
will be able to change this password after you sign on to WeBWorK.
Your e-mail address. The WeBWorK system requires each user to have an e-mail
address. After signing on to WeBWorK, you should verify that the e-mail address
shown is the one that you prefer. You should endeavour to keep your e-mail address up
to date, since the instructors may send messages to the entire class through this route.
If you regularly use an e-mail address other than the firstname.lastname@mail.mcgill.ca
address provided to you by McGill, you should forward all mail to your normal address,
by accessing REGGIE AT https://search.mcgill.ca/nrb/.
E.1.3 Do I have to pay to use WeBWorK?

WeBWorK is available to all students registered in the course at no additional charge.

E.1.4 When will assignments be available on WeBWorK?

Each assignment will have a begin date and a due date. The assignment is available to
you after the begin date; solutions will be made available soon after the due date.
E.1.5 Do WeBWorK assignments cover the full range of problems that I

should be able to solve in this course?
The questions on the WeBWorK assignments are a sampling of some types of problem
you should be able to solve after successfully completing this course. However, not every
conceivable kind of problem will appear. To properly prepare yourself you should work
a large number of problems from the textbook; you may correct your own work using
the Student Solution Manual [3], which contains brief solutions to most odd-numbered
problems. Students are cautioned not to draw conclusions from the presence, absence,
or relative frequencies of problems of particular types, or from particular sections of the
textbook. Certain sections of the textbook remain examination material even though
no problems are included in the WeBWorK assignments. Nor is there any reason to
expect the distribution of problems on quizzes or in assignments and examinations from
previous years be related to the frequencies of any types of problems on the examination
that you will be writing at the end of the term.
WeBWorK problems are typically short, and only very brief answers are expected.
Some types of calculus problems do not lend themselves to this kind of treatment, and may
not appear on the WeBWorK assignments. Use of WeBWorK does not replace
studying the textbook — including the worked examples, attending lectures
and tutorials, and working exercises from the textbook — using the Student
Solution Manual to check your work.
E.1.6 May I assume that the distribution of topics on quizzes and final
examinations will parallel the distribution of topics in the WeBWorK
assignments?
No! If you perceive that some types of problems are appearing with high frequency on
the assignments, you should not infer that such types of problems are more important
than others. Problems on quizzes and the examination may be based on any topic in
the syllabus. WeBWorK may not cover all types of problems, so you should still read
your textbook, attempt its problems, and use the Student Solution Manual [3] to help
check your work.
E.1.7 WeBWorK provides for different kinds of “Display Mode”. Which

should I use?
“Display mode” is the mode that you enter when you first view a problem; and, later,
when you submit your answer. You may wish to experiment with the different formats.
The “best” is usually typeset mode, which should look similar to the version that you
print out (cf. next question); of intermediate quality is formatted text; the lowest quality
is text mode, which is essentially the way the author of the problem entered his data into
the system. If your computer has difficulty displaying in typeset mode, you may have
to use one of the other modes. Typeset mode is related to the TEX and systems that
mathematicians use in typesetting their documents; the notes that you are reading here
were prepared using .
E.1.8 WeBWorK provides for printing assignments in “Portable Document

Format” (.pdf ) or “PostScript” (.ps) form. Which should I use?
Most newer home computers have already been loaded with the Acrobat Reader for .pdf
files; if the Reader has not been installed on your computer, you will find instructions for
downloading this (free) software in §1.5.3 of these notes. If you are not happy with .pdf
files, and wish to print and view PostScript files, you may require such (free) software as
Ghostscript and Ghostview, available at
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/∼ghost/gsview/index.html
Most computers available to you on campus should be capable of printing in either

of .pdf and PostScript formats.
E.1.9 What is the relation between WeBWorK and WebCT?

WebCT is the proprietary system of Web Course Tools that has been implemented
by McGill University. You may access the web page for this course, and WeBWorK
through your WebCT account21 , and WebCT will link you to the appropriate server
for WeBWorK. If you follow this route to WeBWorK, you will still have to log in
when you reach the WeBWorK site. At present there are no plans to use the potential
WebCT sites that exist for the tutorial sections: use only the site for the lecture section
in which you are registered.
Your WebCT E-Mail Address If you do not plan to check for mail at the mail.mcgill.ca
address provided by the University, you should forward the mail to the address that you
plan to maintain. To do this go to
21
http://webct.mcgill.ca
https://search.mcgill.ca/nrb/
E.1.10 Which browser should I use for WeBWorK?

We recommend that you use Internet Explorer or Netscape. While other browsers may
give satisfactory results, your instructors and tutors do not have time to correct errors in
your WeBWorK records that could be attributed to idiosyncracies in another browser.
Information about browsers supported by WebCT may be obtained at
http://ww2.mcgill.ca/icc/webct/browserCheck/browser.html#recommend
E.1.11 What do I have to do on WeBWorK?

After you sign on to WeBWorK, and click on “Begin Problem Sets”, you will see a
list of Assignments, each with a due date. Assignment 0 is there to help you with your
review of prerequisites, and your performance on this assignment will not affect your
grade. It is planned to have 6 assignments, ##1–6, for which you will be expected to
submit solutions; it is possible that there will be other optional assignments as well.
It is suggested that you first arrange to print out a copy of Assignment 0 by clicking
on “Get hard copy”. This is your version of the assignment, and it will differ from the
assignments of other students in the course. You should spend some time working on the
assignment away from the computer. When you are ready to submit your solutions, sign
on again, and again select Assignment 0. This time click on “Do problem set”. You can
expect to become more comfortable with the system as you attempt several problems;
but, in the beginning, there are likely to be situations where you cannot understand what
the system finds wrong with some of your answers. It is useful to click on the “Preview
Answers” button to see how the system interprets an answer that you have typed in. As
the problems become more difficult, you may have to refer to the “Help” page, and also
to the “List of functions” which appears on the page listing the problems. Don’t submit
an answer until you are happy with the interpretation that the “Preview” button shows
that the system will be taking of your answer. In Assignment 022 you have unlimited
“free” tries at each of the problems.
E.1.12 Where should I go if I have difficulties with WeBWorK?

If you have difficulties signing on to WeBWorK, or with the viewing or printing func-
tions on WeBWorK, or with the specific problems on your version of an assignment,
you may send an e-mail distress message directly from WeBWorK by clicking on the
FEEDBACK button. You may also report the problem to your instructor and/or your
22
which does not count, anyhow
tutor, but the fastest way of resolving your difficulty is the FEEDBACK . Please give as
much information as you can. (All of the instructors and tutors are able to view from
within WeBWorK the answers that you have submitted to questions.)
If your problem is mathematical, and you need help in solving a problem, you should
consult one of the tutors at their office hours; you may go to any tutor’s office hours, not
only to the hours of the tutor of the section in which you are registered.
E.1.13 Can the WeBWorK system ever break down or degrade?

Like all computer systems, WeBWorK can experience technical problems. The systems
manager is continually monitoring its performance. If you experience a difficulty when
online, please click on the FEEDBACK button and report it. If that option is not
available to you, please communicate with either instructor by e-mail.
If you leave your WeBWorK assignment until the hours close to the due time on
the due date, you should not be surprised if the system is slow to respond. This is
not a malfunction, but is simply a reflection of the fact that other students have also
been procrastinating! To benefit from the speed that the system can deliver under normal
conditions, do not delay your WeBWorK until the last possible day! If a systems failure
interferes with the due date of an assignment, arrangements will be made to change that
date, and an e-mail message will be broadcast to all users (to the e-mail addresses on
record).23
E.1.14 How many attempts may I make to solve a particular problem on

WeBWorK?
For the first assignment the number of attempts will not be limited. However, for
Assignments ##2–6 there could be a maximum number of attempts. This information
will be given at the top of the assignments, as will any changes in due dates or other
conditions.
E.1.15 Will all WeBWorK assignments have the same length? ...same value?
The numbers of problems on the various assignments may not be the same, and the
individual problems may vary in difficulty. But the assignments will count equally in the
15% of the final grade allocated to WeBWorK.
23
But slowness in the system just before the due time will not normally be considered a systems
failure.
E.1.16 Is WeBWorK“driving” this course?

(cf. §1.6.5 of these notes) While some of the questions on WeBWorK are particularly
useful in diagnosing problems in your understanding of the calculus, many of the ques-
tions on WeBWorK assignments are designed primarily to test your ability to obtain
the correct answer, without controlling the way in which you arrive at that answer. To
that extent WeBWorK does not attempt to monitor all aspects of this course. Your
use of this valuable tool should be supplemented by careful reading of the textbook, and
by the working of (odd-numbered) exercises in the textbook.

A.2 Applying the Fundamental Theorem of the (Integral) Cal-

This discussion is taken from notes given to students in Section 1 in January,

A.2.1 When the integrand has removable discontinuities

To apply the Fundamental Theorem we require that the integrand be continuous on

We may first break the interval of integration into two parts:

A.3 A problem on a self-intersecting curve

[1, Exercise 10.2.28, p. 654] At what point(s) does the curve

cross itself? Find the equations of all tangents at those points.

cos 2t1 = cos 2t2 . (7)

In the intervals (5), (6) — equivalently, for

−π < 2t1 < +π (8)

2(tan t1 )(cos 2t1 ) = 0 (10)

the slope of the tangent at the point with parameter value t is
