Calculus 1, MATH 135-01

FINAL EXAM

Monday, May 16, 11:30 - 2:00 pm, Smith Labs 154


The final exam is CUMULATIVE, that is, it covers all the material from the first day of class onwards. Specifically, this is Chapters 1 through 4, excluding sections 1.7, 2.9, and 4.8. Approximately 25% will cover material from Sections 4.3 through 4.7.

You should go over homework problems, in-class worksheets, the midterm exams, and your class notes. Many of the problems and questions we discuss in class are excellent examples of test questions. The solutions to your WebAssign problems on any homework can be seen by clicking "View Key" near the top of each assignment. You can also click on "Practice Another Version" to redo some homework problems.

I have also listed some sample problems from the Chapter 4 Review below (intended to cover Sections 4.3 - 4.7). The odd answers are in the back of the book while the evens are listed here. For other questions, see the previous exam review sheets: Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3. Note that some sections are poorly covered by the problems in the Chapter Review Exercises.

The exam will be designed to take two hours (twice the length of a midterm) although you will have the full 2.5 hours to complete the exam.

Final Exam Review Session: Friday, May 13, 5:30 - 7:00 pm, Smith Labs 154, led by myself.
Please come prepared with specific questions.

Note: You will be allowed a scientific calculator for the exam which does NOT have graphing or symbolic capabilities. Please bring your own "certified" calculator to the exam.
