The final exam for section 1 will be given on Tuesday, May 10,
2011,
12PM-3PM in SEC 210 on the Busch campus.
The final exam for section 5 will be given on
Friday, May 6, 2011, 4PM-7PM in SEC 209 on the Busch campus.
I will have office hours on Thursday, May 5, from 2 PM to 5 PM,
and on Monday, May 9, from 2 PM to 5 PM.
These exams will be cumulative, covering the whole syllabus, but there will be a bit more emphasis on the material covered since the second exam.
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 and exams 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.
I strongly suggest that you review your responses to questions on previous exams and quizzes in this course: if I thought it was important once, I'm likely to think it is important again! Answers are available online to all previous exams and quizzes.
More specifically, the cover sheet for your exam will state:
No texts, notes, or calculators may be used on this exam. "Simplification" of answers is not necessary. |
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.
