Final exam date and time
The final exam will be held on Dec. 11 from 3:30-6 pm.
What will the exam look like?
Content
- The material covered by Midterm 1 includes material from Chapters 1-5 of LK notes and the corresponding chapters of PD notes. See the Course calendar for detailed readings (up to Sept 30). You should also look over the learning goals for the first four weeks of the course.
- The best way to study is to do lots of problems. Questions similar to both the WeBWorK assignments and the OSH will appear on the midterm. For example, last year, the Midterm 1 questions were most similar to the following WeBWorK and OSH problems:
- WeBWorK 2: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18.
- WeBWorK 3: 20, 21, 23.
- WeBWorK 4: 6, 19, 21, 22, 23.
- OSH 2 (Problem #2).
- OSH 3 (both problems).
- Keep in mind that not all topics are covered on any single midterm so a WeBWorK or OSH problem not on this list may very well appear this year even if it didn't appear last year.
Format
The midterm will consist of a number of multiple choice questions, some short answer problems (show work, enter answer in a box) and three longer questions more like OSH. Here is a skeleton midterm with no content, just format. The actual midterm might differ in the details but will look roughly like this.

Exam formulae list
The following tables contain formulae that will be provided on the final exam should they be required.
| Trig identity |
|---|
| $a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cos(\theta)$ |
| $\sin^2\theta +\cos^2\theta=1$ |
| $\sin(A+B) = \sin(A)\cos(B) + \cos(A)\sin(B)$ |
| $\cos(A+B) = \cos(A)\cos(B) - \sin(A)\sin(B)$ |
| $\tan(\theta) = \dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$ |
| Special triangles | ||

| $\dfrac{\pi}{6}$ | $\dfrac{1}{2}$ | $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ |
| $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ | $\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ | $\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ |
| $\dfrac{\pi}{3}$ | $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ | $\dfrac{1}{2}$ |
| $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ | 1 | 0 |
| Geometric formulae (volume, area) | ||
