Review Problems for Final Exam:
These problems are excellent practice for the final exam. (Maybe one of them will reappear on the final exam, who knows?) Solutions will not be posted. However, you are welcome to discuss the problems with others, or to discuss them in office hours.
Helpful things to know for the exam: Stokes' Theorem; The Divergence Theorem in R^3; The conversion formula for spherical coordinates; Exact values of sine and cosine of common angles (0, pi/6, pi/4, pi/3, pi/2, etc.); How to compute the mass of an object given its density.
Don't worry about Section 15.9 (Change of Variables): it won't be covered. Don't worry about moments of inertia or centroids. Material in the lectures marked "optional lecture" also won't be covered.

Review Problems for Midterm 2. Here are 24 practice problems from the textbook. Answers are in the back of the book.
Don't worry about Section 15.9 (Change of Variables). Don't worry about surface area. Don't worry about moments of inertia or centroids.
Make sure you're comfortable with: Spherical Coordinates; Line Integrals; Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals; Conservative Vector Fields; Green's Theorem; Curl and Divergence.

Review Problems for Midterm 1. Here are 21 practice problems from the textbook. Answers are in the back of the book.
Make sure you know: Density / mass / moments for lamina. You should be very comfortable with: Double integrals in polar coordinates. Triple integrals (Cartesian coordinates only). Don't worry about surface area.
