Date to turn in: Wednesday , February 10, 1999

  1. Section 7.2 - 40, 41,42
  2. Section 7.3 -  Every other odd problem from 3 to 39
  3. Section 7.4 - Every other odd problem from 3 to 35
  4. Read Sections 7.5 and 7.6
 

General Goals for the class:

Section 7.3  covers the integration by parts method for finding antiderivatives.  Basically, integration by parts is just the product rule in reverse.  It will seem like fun for a little while but quickly get tedious.

Section 7.4  covers how you use a table of integrals to find antiderivatives.  It is an exercise in finding the right formula and making good substituions.  It also covers something called partial fractions.  If you are good at algebra and clever you will like these.  If not you probably won't.  They involve lots of algebra and lots of calculations.

Both of these sections require good algebra skills.  You will get the chance to practice.
