Exam 1 Prep. The first exam covers the material of Lectures 1 through 8 of the course lecture notes (inclusive). If you have been reading throughout then the best study method is to read Lecture 8, and then solve problems from the lectures notes, go over the assigned work from Weeks 1-3, and solve more problems from other sources that you can find in Ash's book and/or can dig up in your library and/or internet research. The exam will be open notes, open book, etc. You can bring in a hand calculator, etc. However, the work that you present in your exam must be completely yours. You should remember that "open book/notes exams" are not "easy" exams. Rather, they have higher standards of depth and scholarship than closed notes, closed book exams. So please come well prepared, knowing the definitions and methods before the exam time.
