Covers Chapter 15 and Sections 16.4, 16.6, and 16.7 through page 1085.

Problems will be very similar to those on the HW and discussion worksheets. Some will be straight computations, others will be conceptual short answer questions, and others multiple choice or true/false questions. Taken collectively, both the WebAssign and other HW should be viewed as constituting a study guide for this 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.

Chapter 15
- Everything.
Chapter 16
- Concept check: 7, 8, 11, 12.
- True/false quiz: 6.
- Exercises: 15-17, 21, 25-28.
