The second exam covers all of Chapter 3 (excluding Section 3.8) and
Sections 4.2 and 4.3.
It is recommended that you go over homework problems (HW#7 - 9) as well as your class notes.
Many of the problems and questions we discuss in class are excellent examples of
test questions. I have also listed some sample problems from the
Chapter 3 and 4 Review Exercises below. The odd answers are in the back of the book while the evens are
listed here. The Concept-Check at the end of each chapter (before the exercises) is also a
source for good questions. The exam will be designed to take roughly one hour although you will
have the full class period (plus a little extra) if necessary.
Exam Review Session: Monday, Nov. 26, 7:00 - 8:30 pm in O'Neil 112.
Note: You will be given a scientific calculator for the exam which does NOT have graphing
capabilities so be prepared to answer questions without your personal calculator.
