Subject:
- Covers Chapter 12 and Sections 14.1 - 14.5 of Chapter
14.
Note: Section 14.6 will only appear on the next exam.
Problems will be 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, the HW
should be viewed as constituting a study guide for this exam.
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 - 11.
- True/false quiz: 1 - 6, 8.
- Exercises: 1 - 42.
You can also find these in WebAssign as "Chapter 12 review"
and similar. After you try the problem once, it will show you
the complete solution.
Practice Exams:
Here are some old exams from regular Math 241 that I had a
hand in writing, with solutions. Our exam will be similar, but
perhaps a touch harder as this is the honors section.
