SUMMARY

This discussion centers on finding math problems for finals preparation, specifically in areas such as Vectors, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, and Vector Fields. Joe seeks practical problems to enhance his understanding, as his current textbook lacks applicable exercises. NeutronStar advises Joe to prioritize his study topics and focus on specific areas of need, suggesting a targeted approach to studying rather than a broad one.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Vectors, including Dot Product and Cross Product
  • Knowledge of Differential Calculus for several variables
  • Familiarity with Integral Calculus concepts, including multiple integrals
  • Basic comprehension of Vector Fields and their properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Research practical problems related to Vectors, focusing on projections and orthogonality
  • Explore Differential Calculus applications, particularly in finding and classifying critical points
  • Study Integral Calculus techniques, including changing the order of integration
  • Investigate Vector Fields, emphasizing the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and Green’s Theorem
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for math finals, educators seeking to provide additional resources, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of advanced calculus topics.

I am in the process of studying for my math finals, and I was wondering if anyone could help me find some math problems that I could work on to prepare.

Thanks!
Joe

Well if you go over the problems in your textbook and from your class notes instead of typing posts onto Internet boards you'll probably do well on your final. :-p
 


NeutronStar, The problem is that we don't have a normal textbook (if we did, I wouldn't have posted here). The book that we use(which cost only $10, so I'm not complaining) contains primarily theoretical problems that don't help much for tests (and I've spent a lot of time on those also).
 
Joe,

Your list is rather comprehensive and I don't think a shotgun approach will be very constructive or effective. Why don't you prioritize your needs and narrow the list down to a few items according to your greatest needs? Focus!
 
try this

find integration of (square root of sin x)and let me know the arrived answer
