Math 2210-5: Final Exam Review Sheet, Exams of Advanced Calculus

A list of problem types that may appear on the final exam for math 2210-5. The exam will cover material from the entire course and students are allowed to bring two hand-written pages of notes. The problem types include sketching curves, finding parametric equations, computing velocity and acceleration, finding unit tangent, normal, and binormal vectors, computing curvature and torsion, using properties of dot and cross products, computing tangent lines and components, parameterizing surfaces, sketching vector fields, and various integrals and theorems related to vector calculus.

Math 2210-5 Review for Final Exam
Below is a list of problem types. These, together with the problem types from the other two review
sheets, are the types of problems you might see on the exam. Certainly, not all of these problems will appear
on the exam (there isn’t enough time for that); and it is entirely possible that a problem will appear on the
exam which does not fit into any of these types. I will allow two page of notes for the Final Exam. These
pages must be hand-written (NO XEROX!!!). This exam will cover material from the entire course.
1. Given the parametric equations for a curve, sketch the curve.
2. Given a curve, find the parametric equations.
3. Compute the velocity and acceleration vectors for a given parametric curve in 2D or 3D.
4. Compute the unit tangent vector to a curve.
5. Compute the unit normal to a curve.
6. Compute the curvature of a curve.
7. Compute the unit binormal to a curve.
8. Compute the torsion of a curve (any problem involving torsion will be very easy).
9. Use the properties of dot product and cross product to prove various things about
b
T,
b
N, and
b
B.
10. Compute the tangent line to a curve.
11. Compute the tangential and normal components to the acceleration vector.
12. Parameterize simple surfaces such as: plane, sphere, ellipsoid, graph of f, etc.
13. Sketch a given vector field.
14. Given the graph of a vector field, sketch its flow.
15. Given the contour diagram for a function f, sketch the vector field āˆ‡f.
16. Show that a given parameterized curve is the flow for a given vector field (i.e., it satisfies the system
of DEs).
17. Compute a line integral geometrically.
18. Compute a line integral by parameterizing the curve.
19. Decide whether a given vector field is
(a) gradient?
(b) conservative?
20. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for Line Integrals to compute a line integral.
21. Compute the Work done by a force on a particle as it moves along a given curve.
22. Find the potential of a vector field. That is, given a field ~
F, find a function fso that āˆ‡f=~
F.
23. Use Green’s Theorem to compute a line integral.
24. Understand what the flux of ~
Fthrough a surface S, written, FluxS(~
F), means.
25. Compute a flux integral by parameterizing the surface.
26. Compute a flux integral geometrically.
