Recommended Review Problems:
Working additional problems from the text is the
recommended way to prepare for the exam, as is doing the
problems from the worksheets that you didn't get to in
section. A key resource is the excellent list of review
problems at the end of each chapter, including quick concept
checks and a true/false quiz. For Chapter 12, all of them
relevant. For Chapter 14, what we've covered is reviewed in:
- Concept check: 1 - 12.
- True/false quiz: 1 - 7.
- Exercises: 1 - 42.
Here are the
solutions to the even-numbered review problems for
Chapter 14.
