The mid-term exam is scheduled in the Testing Center (see the course schedule). You will have a 3 hour time limit. The exam is closed book, and you may have one page of notes handwritten or typed by you – both sides of the page can be used. Your notes may not include any material pasted in from other resources. No calculators or digital assistants (you won't need one). I think a well-prepared student will be able to complete the exam in two hours. You’re going to do well!
The format is short answers, worked mathematical solutions, and possibly some T/F or multiple choice.
You will be expected to show your work. You will be graded not only on the correctness of your answer, but also on the clarity with which you express your rationale for your answer; plan to be neat. It is your job to make your understanding clear to us; non-neat work is likely to earn a lower grade. If using a pencil (rather than a pen) helps you be neat, please plan accordingly.
I recommend the following activities to study the topics covered by the exam:
The exam will cover a subset of the following topics:
