The first exam covers Chapter 1 (excluding Section 1.4), Chapter 2, and Sections 3.1 and 3.2. It is recommended that you go over the homework problems (HW#1 - 3) 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 1 and 2 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 the full class period (45-50 minutes).

Exam Review: We will review for the exam on Monday, Sept. 25th, during class. Please come prepared with specific questions.

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.
