Updated Apr 14 with
additional homework and Final Exam notes
- The three hour final exam is comprehensive covering all material
since the first day of the course. To prepare I recommend that you
review all previously assigned homework and suggested test
preparation material. In addition please take note of the following:
- My exam period office hours
- Student ID: Bring your student ID with you to the exam
as I must check it after you begin writing.
- Calculator Policy: a basic
scientific non-graphing and non-programmable
calculator is permitted for the exam. Calculators
may not be shared.
- Formulas supplied on the final exam:
You will be given a formula page similar to
this one
for the final. All other formulas should be committed to memory.
In particular, you should memorize the quadratic formula as well as
the midpoint, distance and slope formulas.
