Final exam

Dear all,

The Final exam for 18.02 will be on Tuesday, December 17 from 9 am to 12 in Johnson Track. The exam will cover all the lecture material, so that the list of topics follows the plan of the lectures (which you can find in Materials)

We uploaded two practice exams to help you prepare - solutions to those will appear on Sunday.

Also there will be a Questions&Answers review session on Monday from 6 to 8pm in E25-111.

Finally, please, submit your evaluations for this course. Your feedback is extremely important for us, as it will help us to improve the course in the future.

Good luck on the Finals and see you all in future MIT math courses!

Vadim.

Dear all,
The passing grade for Midterm 4 is 60 and the average score is 89.7.
If your score is below 60, or if you were unable to take the Midterm, then, please, follow the link below to register for one of the make up exams, which will happen on Thursday and Friday this (!) week

If you had an approved excuse to miss a Midterm (e.g. you were sick), then on the make up exam you can get up to 100. Otherwise, make up will boost your score only up to 60.

Midterm 4

Dear all,

Next Tuesday, during the usual lecture time we will have the last 18.02 Midterm exam of the semester.

The rooms are the same as before:
Students whose Last Names begin with A-K go to 26-100.
Students whose Last Names begin with L-Z go to Walker 3rd floor (50-340)

The Midterm will cover all the lecture material through 11/21.

Here are the main topics:

Triple integrals - setting up, evaluating, changing order and applications to finding mass, center of mass, moments of inertia.

Integration in cylindrical and spherical coordinates.

Applications to gravitation.

Flux of a vector field through a surface and computing surface integrals (including being able to parametrize a surface and compute n dS).

Divergence theorem.

We will have a "Questions and Answers" review on Monday from 6 to 8pm in E25-111.

On Friday I will also upload practice Midterm exams; the solutions to those will appear on Sunday.

Have a good holiday and good luck!

Vadim.

If your score is below 60, or if you were unable to take the Midterm, then, please, follow the link below to register for one of the make up exams next week
