  Problems will very be similar to those on the HW and discussion worksheets. Some will be straight computations, others will be conceptual short answer questions, and others multiple choice or true/false questions. Taken collectively, the HW should be viewed as constituting a study guide for this exam.

  Review Problems:

  Working additional problems from the text is the recommended way to prepare for the exam, as is doing the problems from the worksheets that you didn't get to in section. A key resource is the excellent list of review problems at the end of each chapter, including quick concept checks and a true/false quiz. Here are the questions that are relevant to what we covered.

  • Chapter 15
    • All except concept check problem 6.
  • Chapter 16
    • Concept check: 7, 8, 11, 12.
    • True/false quiz: 6.
    • Exercises: 15-17, 21, 25-28.
  Here are the solutions to the even-numbered review problems for Chapters 15 and Chapter 16. In addition, the "chapter practice" assignments in WebAssign have many, but not all, of the problems from the text. Solutions to any problem in WebAssign are available there for any assignment whose due date has past.
