Tests

The daily `quiz' problems

test1--16 Sep test2--21 Oct Future locations: test3--20 Nov

The good doctor has taught a number of Calculus 3 classes in the last few years. All of these classes have a number of web accessible assignments, tests, quizzes, projects and assorted handouts for your use. These classes used HH 3rd Edition: Spring 03 and Fall 02. These classes used HH 2nd Edition: Spring 02, Fall 00 and Spring 00. These classes used Steward 3rd Edition: Fall 98, Fall 96 and Spring 96. There are no answer sheets to any of these tests. This is good thing™, as one of our goals is to check our answers while taking tests.

This section REQUIRES a TI-89 Calculator. Pawn shops and Ebay have been the most inexpensive locations to obtain a TI-89 (Under $100). Here are two locations on the web where the price of a TI-89 is about $131 (Note shipping costs negate some of the cost advantage, and also the range in shipping costs.) Local stores seem to price this calculator at about $150 and up.
