    Course Objective

    From the preface to the text:  "In addition to developing the students' intuition about the beautiful concepts of calculus, ... to persuade them that precision and rigor are neither deterrents to intuition, nor ends in themselves, but the natural medium in which to formulate and think about mathematical questions."

    A course summary and links to earlier study guides can be found at http://www.math.uga.edu/~azoff/courses/2400fnlguide.html

    A few practice problems from Chapters 8 and 12 were put in bold font.

    A brief trig review, (courtesy of Dr. Shifrin, with pictures and color!) can be found at http://www.math.uga.edu/~azoff/courses/TrigRev.pdf  

    There were three hour exams during the term.

    The third hour test was held Thursday November 18.  It concentrated on Chapters 7 and 11. The median score (before corrections) was 78.
    You could have gotten up to 5 points added to your score by doing test corrections: correct any problem on which you missed more than one point, work the bonus problem, and work whichever part of Problem 4 (A or B) you omitted on the test.

    A practice test was posted at at http://www.math.uga.edu/~azoff/courses/practest.pdf.  This test was given several years ago; median percentages on each problem are indicated.
    Several practice problems from Assignments 1 through 3 were put in boldface font.  These were especially recommended to help prepare for the test.
