General instructions
The cover sheet for your exam will state:
No texts, notes, or calculators may be used on this exam.
The course coordinator (who will be the principal author of the final
exam) has prepared some review
problems for the second exam. You will work on these during part of
your class meeting on Wednesday, November 14. There will also be time
for questions during that meeting. Prepared students may find this
very useful.
Here are answers to
those review problems.
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 any formula sheets extensively tend to be students who are not
adequately prepared. They generally don't do well.
I will write your second exam. I gave Math 151 last year. Here is a link to the
second 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.
Although the textbook has changed, I think that what was covered on
the second exam last year is substantially the same subject matter as
will be tested on the second exam given to these sections. Our exam
will concentrate on material covered since the first exam, ending with
L'Hôpital's Rule in section 4.7. That's up to lecture 19.5 --
yes, the first half of lecture 20; see the
diary for further information.
I'll have a review session on Thursday evening, November 15, at 7 PM in
SEC 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.
I've thought about the review session, and for my own use prepared this summary of the
topics which I will use to prepare for the review session.
