Exam 1: Friday October 4, in our classroom WEB L104. We start the exam 5 minutes before regular class time, and end it 5 minutes after regular class time, so that you have one hour to work on the exam, 8:30-9:30 a.m.
    We'll review the content from Chapters 1-3 Wednesday in class, using these notes: exam1review.pdf 
    I'll go over last fall's exam with those who are interested, on Wednesday from 4:30-6:00 p.m., in WEB L103. (I believe that room is correct, but we have not yet had official confirmation from U. Scheduling.) That exam is linked below, along with its solutions. Even though the warning below applies, my old exams give you an idea of how I structure exams, and how I try to address a selection of the course concepts.
Warning: exam topics and concepts are not restricted to the particular ones which appear on this practice test!

    You'll review the content from Chapters 4.1-4.4, 5, 10.1-10.3 Thursday in lab.
exam2reviewfilledin.pdf  review notes, with the questions answered...high probability exam question areas are starred. These notes will be the basis for your Thursday lab review sessions. For that review you should be able to find representative problems by looking at previous quizzes, superquizzes, and exams. For more in depth study please consult the text, class lecture note examples, homework, lab work.
    I'll go over last spring's exam on Wednesday from 4:30-6:00 p.m., in WEB L103. That exam is linked below, along with its solutions. Even though the warning below applies, my old exams give you an idea of how I structure exams, and how I try to address a selection of the course concepts.

Final exam: Tuesday December 17, 8:00 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. You will be able to work until 10:15, if you wish. We will use our regular classroom WEB L104.
Review sessions: We review the course material on the last day of classes, using these Math_2250_review.pdf (or Math_2250_review.docx ) notes. I'd also recommend going through the course learning objectives carefully, on our syllabus Math2250Syllabus.pdf
    I will review last spring's final exam material on Friday December 13 from 3:30 p.m - 5:30 p.m. in our regular classroom WEB L104. That exam and its solutions are posted below. Remember the usual caveats: Review concepts/topics first, to check and integrate your understanding of the course material. Class notes and the text are useful at this stage. Then look for representative problems to test your understanding of concepts, techniques, and applications. At this point old quizzes/super quizzes and homework problems as well as old exams are good source material. Remember that no exam can cover all topics, so do not expect topic coverage on previous exams to necessarily coincide with this fall's version of the final exam.
