First exam formula sheet
One of my old exams
Even more review problems (with answers)
Differences, this year/last year
Review Session
I've thought about the review session, and prepared this summary for myself of
the topics which I will use to prepare for the review session.

General instructions
The cover sheet for your exam will state:
No texts,
notes, or calculators may be used on this exam.
Find exact values
of standard functions such as e0 and sin(pi/2).
Otherwise do NOT "simplify" your numerical answers!
The course coordinator (who will be the principal author of the final
exam) has prepared some review
problems for the first exam. You will work on these during part of
your class meeting on Thursday, February 21. There will also be time
for questions during that meeting. Prepared students should find this
very useful.
The course coordinator has prepared a formula sheet which
will be handed out with your exam. I suggest that you get familiar
with what is on the sheet. Students who need to consult formula sheets
extensively tend to be students who are not adequately prepared. They
generally don't do well.
I will write your first exam. I gave Math 152 last year. Here is a link to the
first exam in that course, and here is a link to some
answers. I strongly suggest that students try to answer the
questions before looking at these answers. Please note that problem 7a
on that exam referred to average value which wasn't covered in
our lectures. So please replace problem 7a by: Suppose
mA is the definite integral of (sin(Ax))3 from 0
to 2. Compute mA.
Here are some further
review problems (mostly from old exams of mine) together with some answers.
The textbook has changed, but with the exception already noted
(average value) the topics covered and the way we covered them are
both remarkably similar to what was done last year.
I'll have a review session on Tuesday evening, February 26, at 6:40
PM in ARC 206. This is not intended to be a substitute for
your own work. You must prepare by doing homework problems,
workshop problems, and the supplied review problems by yourself or
with others. If I could do things by watching others, I would easily
hit 50 major league home runs each year. Attendance at this session
will not be adequate preparation for students who have done little
work on their own.
This room is supposed to be the only room available with
capacity 40 or more on Busch Campus at 6:40 PM on that Tuesday
evening! Do you believe this?
