Getting Help:

If you can't get your questions answered during the "activity" part of class time, try these resources:

Calc.II Gateway Test Generator

During the first week or so of class, you will be required to take a gateway test. Your score on this test will be 15% of you "Test #1" score.

These tests are designed to test for mastery of the rules for symbolic differentiation and basic integration taught in Calculus I. They are meant to be printed and taken by hand, without the aid of computer or calculator.

To generate a test, you'll need to do the following:

  1. Download the Mathematica notebook to your account, gatewayII.nb
    (right-click on the link and "Save Link As...")
  2. Start Mathematica, and open the notebook.
  3. If there are suggestions or compatibility errors, click on "apply all suggestions"
    (then contact me if there are still problems)
  4. Run the first cell (click the cursor anywhere in the cell and "Shift-Return")
  5. If there are "Spell" errors, delete them (or run the first cell again to generate a new test without spell-check errors).
  6. To print out a test, highlight the cells to be printed and then choose "Print Selection" from the "File" menu in the upper left corner of the Mathematica window.

An in-class gateway test will be given in class sometime during the first two weeks (see schedule). This test will count at 15% of you Test #1 score. You may retake it as many times as you wish.
