      Weekly Quizzes


       Date  Topic Hint
      Quiz 1 : Fri Sep 2
      (SOLUTION)
      Functions If a mathematical statement is to be proved true, it must be true in all cases. If it is false, it just has to be shown false for one case.
      Quiz 2: Fri Sep 9
      (SOLUTION)
      Population Model What kind of function is very closely related to its own derivative?
      BONUS Quiz 1 : Fri Sep 9
      (SOLUTION)
      Models and Euler Factor carefully!
      BONUS Quiz 2 : Fri Sep 16
      (SOLUTION)
      Euler's Method and Slope Fields To find the equations of the lines in (c) you already have all the numbers you need from your answers in part (a).
      Quiz 3: Mon Sep 19/ Tue Sep 20
      (SOLUTION)
      Euler's Method and a System of IVPs
      BONUS Quiz 3 : Fri Sep 23
      (SOLUTION)
      Explaining S-I-R Think carefully about the number of people being infected per day. This is NOT the same thing as the rate of change of the infected population with respect to time, i.e. I'.
      Quiz 4: Mon Oct 3/ Tue Oct 4
      (SOLUTION)
      Limits and Continuity
      Quiz 5: Fri Oct 7
      (SOLUTION)
      Derivatives HINT: Recall the limit definition for the derivative f'(x) of a function f(x). Does the definition depend on how scary the function f(x) is?
      Quiz 6: Fri Oct 14
      (SOLUTION)
      Rules of Differentiation HINT: Carefully consider what is the inner and outer function for f(x) and g(x), specifically thinking about how the input variable is acted on to produce an output.
      BONUS Quiz 4: Fri Oct 14
      (SOLUTION)
      Relative Rates HINT: This related rates problem is really just an implicit differentiation problem.
      BONUS Quiz 5: Wed Oct 19
      (SOLUTION)
      Inverse Functions HINT: If you don't use the HINT in part (e) then you'll have to use the chain rule.
      Quiz 7: Mon Oct 31/ Tue Nov 1
      (SOLUTION)
      Indeterminate Forms
      Quiz 8:
      Fri Nov 4

      (SOLUTION)
      Equilibrium Values and IVPs HINT:  Think about the special values we consider when we have graphed population behavior.
      BONUS Quiz 6:
      Fri Nov 4
      (SOLUTION)
      More IVP Solutions HINT: If you have a solution in implicit form, its derivative can be implicitly found as well.
      Quiz 9:
      Fri Nov 11

      (SOLUTION)
      Qualitative Analysis of Rate Equations HINT:  Recall what information the SIGN of y' and the SIGN  of y'' give you about the shape and direction of y(t).
      Quiz 10:
      Mon Nov 14

      (SOLUTION)
      Higher Order Taylor Polynomials .
      Quiz 11:
      Fri Nov 18

      (SOLUTION)
      Optimization HINT: Recall, that for a statement to be true it must be true in EVERY case described. A statement is false, if it is false just once.
      Quiz 12:
      Wed Nov 30

      (SOLUTION)
      Due Mon Dec 5.
      Partial Derivatives and Multivariable Optimization HINT: Recall, for a product AB=0 either A=0 or B=0 or both. Also, a global extreme value of a function means that either there is a largest(smallest) possible output value regardless of input value.

      There will be weekly quizzes. These will often be take-home quizzes, distributed on Fridays and due at the beginning of class the next day. Sometimes quizzes will occur during lab time. Quiz questions will resemble homework problems which connect or advance important concepts and skills. Work on Quizzes are subject to the same rules as on exams.


      Quizzes are 15 per cent of your final grade.
