Classroom: where the future lectures will be held still has not been resolved. I won't be in tomorrow, so let us say tentatively that on Thursday we shall meet in Charles Perry 431 at 930. As soon as I get a better room I will email the class with the new location, and also I will write the new location in 431. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have to modify my office hours. On Thursday, the new hour is 200-300PM. On Monday, the time is 1100-1200AM. And with apologies, the office hour this coming Monday must be moved to 1000-1100.

The new Wileyplus assignment has been posted, and is due Monday November 22. The title is Give Thanks. You should be able to start on it now, though the later questions are on material we have not yet covered. Some of the questions at the end are not easy, but will help you prepare for the next tests.

11/30 5.2# 1-33 odd, 5.3# 1-45 odd, 49, 53.
Test on Tuesday, Nov. 30 will cover 4.1-4.5 and 4.8. Be sure you are really good at sketching graphs of functions! Make sure you are familiar with the graphs of such elementary functions as e^x, ln (x), sin (x), cos (x), tan (x), arctan(x), arcsin (x).
About the final. The final will be comprehensive, and start at 945 on Tuesday in the regular classroom. It will be two hours long. At least 25% of the points will be on computations of limits, so be sure to review that well. Also, at least 20% of the questions will be directly on computations of derivatives; you should be able to do these questions almost perfectly if you are well prepared. There will be 3 integration questions, and of course an applied min-max problem, a related rated problem, and a graphing problem. I have tried to cover everything.
