Test 1 Review — Math 401-501/502 (Spring 2013)

General Information

Test 1 (Thursday, 3/7/13) will have 4 to 6 questions, some with multiple parts. The problems will be similar to homework problems, examples done in class and examples worked out in the text. My office hours for this week will be Monday (3/4/13), 11-3, Tuesday (3/5/13), 2:30-3:30, and Wednesday (3/6/13), 11-3.

Calculators: You may use scientific calculators to do numerical calculations — logs, exponentials, and so on. You may not use any calculator that has the capability of doing algebra or calculus, or of storing course material.

Other devices: You may not use cell phones, computers, or any other device capable of storing, sending, or receiving information.

Formulas: The test will have several formulas that will be useful in solving the problems, both for differential equations (e.g. undetermined coefficients), trig identities (e.g., $\sin^3(x) =(3\sin(x) - \sin(3x))/4$), and a few integrals.

Coverage: The test will be over material covered from the start of the semester on through Thursday, 2/28/13.
