Here is a review for your upcoming test. The test covers all of Chapter 1 (sections 1.1-1.9) and A.1, A.2, and A.3 in the Appendix. I will not collect this. I have provided the answers, but you should take the time to work through the problems. The test that I give you will be very similar to this review; however, I will not limit myself to questions identical to these. This review will give you a good indication of what you will be expected to know for the test. Obviously, this review is longer than the exam will be. In a couple of days, I will provide you with a list of answers for each of the following problems.
Reminders: During the exam, SHOW ALL YOUR WORK and JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWERS when necessary. Also, be organized and neat!
