MATH 233 (SPRING 2016)

MIDTERM EXAM 3 REVIEW SUGGESTIONS

This two-hour exam will consist of 14 multiple-choice questions, covering material through
Lecture 32. Make sure to bring a number 2 pencil. Calculators and 3 × 5-cards will not be
permitted. Exam scores will be available the following day.
The exam questions are drawn from the following list of skills and topics from ŸŸ14.8, 15.1,
15.2, 15.3 15.4, 15.9, and 16.1 in Stewart. Topics not listed will not be covered.

14.8 Lagrange multipliers. Be able to use them to solve max/min problems with 1 or
2 constraints, or on a region with boundary (using Lagrange on boundary).
15.1 Know what a Riemann sum is and how they compare with double integrals.
Know midpoint rule.
Perform double integrals over rectangles, either by iterated integration or by
splitting the integral into a product (if f (x, y) = F (x)G(y)).
15.2 Be able to do double integrals over x-simple and y -simple regions D (or to switch
order of integration if necessary), and know how to use this in computing areas
of regions, volumes of solids, and average value of a function.
15.3 Integrating in polar coordinates, with applications similar to 15.2.
15.4 Use double integrals (in x, y or r, θ) to compute center of mass of a lamina, and
to solve basic probability problems (like the one on meeting for coee we did in
class).
15.9 Know how to change variables in double integrals, including how to compute
∂(x,y)
the Jacobian , and how to choose u and v advantageously (so that the
∂(u,v)
transformed region of integration is nice).
16.1 Be able to recognize/match vector eld and picture. Know what a conservative
eld is, and what ow lines are.
