| To review: first of all, look
over the previous exams and quizzes. There will be a couple of questions from material done after exam 2, so pay attention to the suggested homework for these last sections too. Then you should know well definitions and statements of important theorems. Eventual theoretical questions (proofs) will be simple applications of definitions or main theorems. Format of the final will be similar to that of the midterms. |
