 \textbf{Tips for Studying for Math 126 Exam II}
\end{center}

The exam is Thursday, November 9, 8:00-9:15 a.m.  It is designed 
to be done in an hour.  Make sure you know what room your exam is in.

    The exam will cover Sections 7.2-7.4, 7.6 and 8.1-8.7.

Calculators will be allowed.  However, you must show all your work
and all important steps on each problem.  You will get no credit 
for just writing down an answer you find on your calculator.
We have chosen the exam problems carefully to test your knowledge
and understanding of the topics we have studied, not to test your
ability to press buttons on a calculator.  


  The \lq\lq Questions to Guide Your Review" at the end of each chapter
of Thomas and Finney do an excellent job of giving you a review
of what the basic concepts are.  The one for chapter 7 is on page 606
and 
the one for chapter 8 is on page 699.
If you don't have time to look at all the questions, try to 
look at p.\ 606 \#2,3,4,6,7,8,12,13 and p.\ 699 \#1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,
15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22.

A good strategy for practicing computation is to go back through
the homework problems and work problems similar to those assigned.
At the end of each chapter in Thomas and Finney, there are 
\lq\lq Practice Exercises" and \lq\lq Additional Exercises--Theory, Examples." 
  Begin by studying the
material, to make sure you have everything at your finger tips.  Then
work an assortment of the odd-numbered problems.  You might 
at least try to look at p.\ 608 \#111,113,115,117,119,137,141,147.
and p.\ 700 \#1,3,5,17,19,23,25-39 odd.

We have covered lots of topics.   On an exam designed to take 
an hour, we cannot possibly ask you a question about each topic.
