The exam will involve questions similar to the ones given in the homework assignments from §4.1–4.6, §5.1–5.6, and §6.1–6.7, which basically means that the study topics are
If you study the above subjects well, there is 99% chance you will succeed in the exam, and of course, 100% chance you will succeed in life.
Practice these problems. I will not post answers to these problems.
Please do not hesitate to drop by my office (Burnside 1123) during the exam period.
