Problems will very be similar to those on the HW and discussion worksheets.

Taken collectively, both the WebAssign and other HW should be viewed as constituting a study guide for this exam.

Practice Exam:

Here is last year's exam and the complete solutions. Important Note: You should expect your exam to be somewhat harder and a little longer than this practice exam.

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. Here are the questions that are relevant to what we covered.

- Concept check: 13 - 19.
- True/false quiz: 8 - 12.
- Exercises: 43 - 66.
Section 13
- Concept check: 2, 3, 5.

- Exercises: 1 - 6, 8 - 10.

- Concept check: 1 - 6.
- True/false quiz: 4 - 6.
