Calculus I (Winter 2019)

Suggested problems for the 7th edition of the textbook
Caveat! The 7th edition problems were listed back when we used the 7th edition - I've not attempted to bring them "up to date". So from time to time, you should check them against the 8th edition ones (borrow a friend's book), in order to see what's been added. For the most part, there'll be no worries, but it's up to you to be sure you're properly "covered".

Review and Practice Tests

How to Lose Marks (and maybe even not do so) [(Web version)]

If you need a "refresher" for your high-school algebra, you might want to look at this review of what you need to know to do calculus. A French version is also available. (Other advice is available on the host webpage.)
You need only look at section 3.

(You will find helpful worked-out examples on this webpage, linked to the topics in the text.)
BTW: Solutions to exercises in Stewart are available on the Portal (in Léa).

Assignments and Practice Tests

Rhoda's Review Assignment [Version with Answers]
This assignment was very poorly done - in many cases that would have been avoided if the How to Lose (or Gain) Marks guidelines were followed. Take that as advice for future work, at home and in class.

Practice Quiz 1
Practice for your first Quiz (to be held on Friday 8 Feb 2019 !)
[Hint for #4,6]
Answers are now included as well.
(Don't forget the hand-in part of WeBWorK assignment B-Derivs1 (Q18 "Assignment 1") is due on the 8th as well!)
Quiz 1A (with answers)
Assignment 1 (WeBWorK) (with answers)
Practice for Test 1 (15 Feb 2019)
Long Practice Test 1
[This is very long, but the questions come from old tests so they are good for practice. Answers are not, and will not, be posted for the long practice test. Ask me or see me in office hours if you need help or if you want to check your work.]
Also, here's a practice test with (very roughly!) the right length and formatting for a "real" class test, even with marks assigned.
Practice Test 1 [Answers]
Practice for Quiz 2 (1 Mar 2019)
Workshop on Related Rates (Answers)
New! The alternate answer to Q2 has been added on the last page of the answers.
N.B. Some of the = signs in the answers may look like hyphens - this seems only to affect printed copies (so it's probably just printer-dependant; there is no such confusion in the on-line copy). But if your copy looks "bad", just check Léa for the Stewart solutions I've posted.
Quiz 2A [Answers]
Practice for Quiz 3 (23 Mar 2019):
Workshop on Limits
(Answers may be found in appropriate exams on my webpage - this is a good chance to start looking at some old exams!)
Practice Quiz 3 (ignore the header saying "Quiz 4"!)
Note: Page 1: These are all from the exercises in sections 2.5, 2.6; the solutions may be found among the text exercises or here
Page 2: Some of these have been done in class. The (brief!) answers are here.
Quiz 3 [Answers] Quiz 3M [Answers]
Worksheet on Extrema
(Again, answers may be found in the corresponding exams)
Explanation of the answer for (the second) Q13
WeBWorK Assignment 2 (to have been handed in by 1 April 2019)
[Brief Answers]
Practice for Test 2 (5 Apr 2019)
Practice Test 2 [Again very long, but questions from old tests are good for practice. As with the previous "long practice test", answers will not be posted - ask me if you have questions or need help.]
Another Practice Test 2 (about the right length for a real test!)
(For this practice test, you may use a calculator for questions 7-9. The real test will not require - nor permit! - a calculator.)
Answers
Practice for Quiz 4 (17 Apr 2019): Try the Dobson files: e.g. Curve Sketching: # 11, 20, 24; and Optimization: # 1, 5, 12, and others.
Also the "suggested problems" from the textbook!
Here is the workshop on Curve Sketching and Optimization: Page 1 Page 2
Quiz 4 (with answers)
The solution to the WeBWorK graph problem (#4, G-MaxMin), with comments(!) - including the graph.
Practice Quiz 5 (for Quiz 5 on 3 May 2019) (with answers)
Quiz 5 (with answers)
The Practice Tests for Test 3 (10 May 2019)
Practice Test 3 (Long form, mostly without answers - but ... )
[The graphs] [The "answer" to the Tortoise and the Hare question …]
A "shorter" practice test with answers: Practice Test 3 [with Answers]
And: another short Practice Test 3 [with Answers]
[These are old class tests, a bit longer than yours will be.]
Exam review:
As the semester draws to a close, you should look at some old exams and the Dobson Files.
(The "official" JAC website for these files will have corrected any errors found in the answers): [Exams]; [Dobson]
(Let me know of any errors you find, in any of these files.)
Here are some questions from old exams - we'll do one each day this week:
Monday: Set 1 Tuesday: Set 2 Thursday: Set 3
Don't regard these as definitive! The exam may (will) include other types of problems along similar lines!
Look at some exams themselves, and be prepared for any questions on any topics we've done this semester!!
Here's a suggestion:
Do one complete old exam in exactly 3 hours (or less!)
Treat it as a trial run - no notes, no breaks, no amusement, no cell or other "stuff" - just like an exam!
That'll help you focus on what you most need to revise.
And what you can "relax" about.

Notes and the long practice tests

Don't sweat the small stuff (Notes on limits as x → ∞)
