The Purpose of this Booklet

This booklet is a collection of important points in this course. This is also not meant to be heavy reading.
We have tried to condense it into as few pages as possible so that you can jump to chapters or topics, see the
important terms, important formulae, and a quick explanation, and finally important points to keep in mind.
Most of the concepts/equations are from the textbook, the rest is from resources on the MacEng 15
page and web assign assignments.
Good luck on your exams! Here is a link to the MacEng page for further resources! :

Therefore:

What about asymptotes?

))

This wont work because 1/(x-1) is not continuous and does not

obey FTC. Finding the integral of a function with a discontinuity requires finding the integral before and after the
discontinuity.

Approximation

McMaster Scholars Math 1ZB3 Summary Booklet

Section 11 to 11.10: Sequences/Series
Definitions:

Convergent/Divergent: is similar to integration basically as n approaches infinity the nth term must approach a
limit to be convergent, etc..
Monotonic Sequence is a bounded sequence and is convergent.

Squeeze Theorem:

Series Summary
We will go over each of these types in the review. Here is a summary of that session.
The credit for the summary goes to MacEng page and those who worked on the flowchart.

Representing functions as power series

15

Recall:

Try and make your function look like the one you know by using algebraic manipulation!

You can
also take the integral and differentiate these sums by the following method:

When taking the derivative the sum index n = 0 goes to n =1 etc

When taking integral the radius of convergence stays the same.

Section 9 to 10.5: Differential Equations

Population Growth
People per time. If M < P the the population is
decreasing. If M>P its increasing. This is known as the
differential equation.

Orthogonal Trajectories
For example:

Take derivative with respect to y. take negative reciprocal and separate.

Polar Coordinates

22

Converting between polar and Cartesian:

x = r cos , y = r sin if you ever forget, think of SOHCAHTOA.
Also, the equation of a circle: x 2 + y 2 = r 2
Distance between two points:
1. Draw lines from each point to the origin and from one point to the other point.
2. Find angle between lines from origin to each point
3. Cosine law: a = b2 +c 2 2(bc )cosA
Drawing Cartesianpolar form:
1. Assume the vertical axis is r and the horizontal axis is theta.
2. Start at theta = 0 and identify inflection points.
Use these points to identify where the radius is increasing/decreasing as you spin (theta
increases).

Conic Sections

Ellipses

Verticies/major axis

Minor Axis

To find ellipse that is rotated 90 degrees in the shape of a standing egg just interchange x and y and foci switches
to (c, 0 ) and vertices switch to (a,0)
