The exam to be given at the usual class times and places on Wednesday, April 13, will cover primarily the material in lectures 12 through 20 of the syllabus. This what we discussed from chapters 3, 4, and 5 of the textbook. The word "primarily" is inserted here to recognize that much of the course material is cumulative, and some dependence on the earlier part of the course must be understood.

I will have a review session in Hill 525 from 7 to 9 PM on Tuesday, April 12.

I will construct the exam with the following "resources" in mind: my lectures and the examples in the lectures, the homework problems (both those which were graded and those on the list of suggested homework problems), the quizzes which were given, and the material linked below written by Professor Zeilberger. You should expect to be asked for definitions and simple examples. You should expect True/False questions, and complete answers to such questions will include examples illustrating why the statement is false and some general explanation if the assertion is called true. More about this is here.

More specifically, the cover sheet for your exam will state:

Here again are links to material created by Professor Zeilberger last semester for the two sections of Math 250 he taught. I thank him again for permission to use his work. My exams will not be identical to his, but I expect that many of the questions will be quite similar (with the exceptions noted!) so this should be useful for you.
