Math 121 Fall 2015 Final Exam Notes

What to Bring:

Bring lots of pencils, pens, erasers, a watch, a ruler, and your student ID. Do not bring scrap paper as it will be provided. Note that cell phones, music players and other electronic devices must be put away during the exam and cannot be used as clocks. Also, packs and bags must be placed at the front of the room during the exam, so avoid bringing valuables with you to the exam.

Extra Practice:

The final exam is comprehensive, and so may include any material covered since the first day of the course.

You must of course know your derivative rules as well as the laws of exponents and logarithms. In addition to reviewing your class notes and tests, you should prepare by solving lots and lots of problems. Here are some:
