Dear class:

Here are some guideluines for the midterm: 

Chap 4: Only 4.2-4.5

Chap 6:The materials on Chap 6 contains 3 parts:
(a)The elementary and algrbraic properties of Transcendental functions.
(b)Dereivatives of Transcendental functions.
(c)Integration of Transcendental functions.

Basicly (a) is high school material except perhaps the hyperbolic functions.
We will only exam on (b) and those of (a) needed in the derivation of 
derivatice of Transcendental functions
(like cosh^2 x - sinh^2 x = 1)

A good practice for Chap 6 is try to write down by yourself the
the derivatives of Inverse trigonoetric functions and 
hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions.

Also the best overall practice is to mix all the functions you have learned
and try to get derivatives.
In other words, if you know how to take derivatives of these functions,
you are fine.

The following HW's will be reviwed on Friday's extra recitation course,
so work hard and ask qustions on Thursdays and Fridays. Good luck.

6.1: 46,48,60,66
6.2: 28(c)
6.3: 78, 85-90.
6.4: Integration, skip.
6.5: Elementary application for exponential functions, will not exam.
6.6: 28, 33, 37-46, 48, 52, 54
6.7: 7, 8, 12, 17(a) (Only need to study on little o and big O and Example 7-9.)
6.9: 14,16,22,70,72
6.10: 10,12,28,29.
