• You may want to make changes in your habits and study approaches after
reading the recommendations. Our advice is to take small steps. Small changes
are easier to make, and chances are those changes will stick with you and
become part of your habits.
– reads the documents (such as course outline) that are passed on by the
instructor and acts on them.
– takes an active role in their education.
– does not cheat and encourages academic integrity in others.
– is active in a course and asks questions that aid their learning and build
their knowledge base.
– seeks out their instructor after a lecture and during office hours to clarify
concepts and content and to find out more about the subject area.
– shows an interest in their program of studies that drives them to do well.
– articulates questions.
– can speak about the subject matter of their courses, for example by ex-
plaining concepts to their friends.
– takes good notes that pay attention to detail but still give a holistic
picture.
– pays attention to how mathematics is written and attempts to use a
similar style in their written work.
– pays attention to new terminology and uses it in their written and oral
work.
– uses the resources made available by the course and instructor such as
the Math Workshop, the course container on WebCT, course websites,
etc..
– researches how to get help in certain areas by visiting the instructor, or
academic advisor, or other support structures offered through the univer-
sity.
– uses the library and internet thoughtfully and purposefully to find addi-
tional resources for a certain area of study.
– adopts a particular method for organizing class notes and extra material
that aids their way of thinking and learning.
– is informed about their program of study and their courses and takes an
active role in them.
– researches how to get help in certain areas by visiting the instructor, or
academic advisor, or other support structures offered through the univer-
sity.
– joins a study group or uses the support that is being offered such as
a Math Workshop (that accompanies many first and second year math
courses in the Department of Mathematics) or the general SFU Student
Learning Commons Workshops.
– sees the bigger picture and finds ways to be involved in more than just
studies. This student looks for volunteer opportunities, for example as
a Teaching Assistant in one of the Mathematics Workshops or with the
MSU (Math Student Union).
• Read through or even work through the paper assignments, online assignments,
and quizzes (if any) a second time.
• Study the examples in your lecture notes in detail. Ask yourself, why they
were offered by the instructor.
• Work through some of the examples in your textbook, and compare your
solution to the detailed solution offered by the textbook.
• Does your textbook come with a review section for each chapter or grouping
of chapters? Make use of it. This may be a good starting point for a cheat
sheet. There may also be additional practice questions.
• Practice writing exams by doing old midterm and final exams under the same
constraints as a real midterm or final exam: strict time limit, no interruptions,
no notes and other aides unless specifically allowed.
• Study how old exams are set up! How many questions are there on average?
What would be a topic header for each question? Rate the level of difficulty
of each question. Now come up with an exam of your own making and have
a study partner do the same. Exchange your created exams, write them, and
then discuss the solutions.
– Both the person being explained to and the person doing the explaining
benefit from this learning exchange.
– Study partners are great resources! They can provide you with notes and
important information if you miss a class. They may have found a great
book, website, or other resource for your studies.
• Go to your faculty or department and find out what student groups there are:
– The Math Student Union (MSU) seeks and promotes student interests
within the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University and
the Simon Fraser Student Society. In addition to open meetings, MSU
holds several social events throughout the term. This is a great place to
find like-minded people and to get connected within mathematics.
– Student groups or unions may also provide you with connections after
you complete your program and are seeking either employment or further
areas of study.
Staying Healthy:
• A healthy mind, body, and soul promote success. Create a healthy lifestyle by
taking an active role in this lifelong process.
• Mentally:
• Physically:
• Socially:
– Make friends! Friends are good for listening, help you to study, and make
you feel connected.
– Get involved! Join a university club or student union.
Resources:
• Old exams for courses serviced through a workshop that are maintained by
the Department of Mathematics: http:www.math.sfu.caugradworkshops

pump all the oil out of the outlet. As shown in the figure the outlet is flush
with the highest point of the tank. Express your answer as a multiple of the
density of the oil, ρ pounds/[ft3 ].
2. The tank in the figure is full of water. Find the work required to pump all the
water out of the spout located 2 meters above the top of the tank. You may
assume the triangles in the figure are isosceles. (Use the facts that the density
of water is ρ = 1000 kg/m3 , and the constant of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 , but
you don’t have to plug in the actual number.)
3. A heavy rope, 15 metres long, weighs 5 Newtons/metre and hangs over the
edge of a building 40 metres high. How much work is done in pulling the rope
to the top of the building?
5. The tank in the figure is full of water. Find the work required to pump all the
water out of the spout located 2 metres above the top of the tank. You may
assume the triangles in Figure 3.3 are right triangles. (Use the fact that the
density of water is 1000kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2 .)
6. A 2-kg bucket and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a
well that is 21m deep. The bucket is filled with 10kg of water and is pulled up
at the rate 0.1 m/sec, but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at the rate
of 0.05 kg/sec.
(a) How much time is needed for the bucket to reach the top of the well?
How much water is in the bucket at the moment when the bucket reaches
the top of the well?
(b) Find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well.
Note: You may assume for the sake of simplicity that acceleration due
to gravity is 10m/s2 .
7. In a 10m deep water well, we have a 15L bucket attached to a rope that weighs
0.10kg per meter. How much work does it take to get a full bucket of water out
of the well? You may assume that the water weighs 1kg/L and that gravity
exerts a 10N downwards force per kilogram. You can neglect the weight of
the empty bucket.
8. A cylindrical gas tank 1 metre in diameter and 1.5 metres in length is used

12. A space module weighs around 5000 N on the surface of Earth. How much
work is done in propelling the module to a height of 1300 kilometers above
the earth? Use 6400 kilometers as the radius of Earth. Do not consider the
effect of air resistance or the weight of the propellant. Recall that Newton’s
Law of Universal Gravitation states that the force of gravitational attraction
between the Earth and other objects is inversely proportional to the distance
separating the earth’s center from the object’s center.
13. A student whose mass is 50 kg lifts a leaky bucket of sand to the top of a
building 100 m high. Suppose she is standing on a scale while she is lifting the
bucket and another student records her mass for every meter of rope she has
pulled in. He records these measurements (in kg) as Mi for i = 0 · · · 100 where
i = 0 is the initial measurement ( the bucket is at the ground) and i = 100 is
the final measurement ( the bucket is at the top of the building). Carefully
explain, using ideas from Riemann sums, how the students can come up with
an approximation for how much work is done in lifting the bucket. (You may
assume for the sake of simplicity that acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2 ).
14. A tank has the shape of a paraboloid of revolution; that is, its shape is obtained
by rotating a parabola about a vertical axis. The depth of the tank is 4 m,
the radius at the top of the tank is 2 m and it is initially filled with water 3
m deep. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity
is 10 m/s2 . Calculate the work required to pump the water out of the tank,
through an outlet 1/2m above the top of the tank, until the tank is empty.

kg/m3 . How much work is done against gravity to pump all the liquid to the
top of the small sphere? Leave the answer in integral form.
