Old Exam 1 Sp2023 and its Solution
Remember that, to be prepared for our upcoming exam, you must 'understand' the principles. It won't be enough if you skim through the old exam and memorize its solution.
Also, some topics in Study Guide 1: Summary of the topics were not asked in the old exam but may be on the upcoming exam.
Scheduled on 4/23 Wed.
The exam will be based on the materials covered in Ch 4 , Ch5, Sections 6.1, 7.2, 7.3 (or 7.4, depending on the course pace, will be finalized after the 4/9 class) , corresponding to HW 6-- HW 10.
No homework due the exam date.
Midterm 2 will be on Ch 4 , Ch5, Sections 6.1, 7.2, 7.3, corresponding to HW 6-- HW 10.
My old Exam 2 Sp2023 on the similar topics would NOT be a good example for the upcoming exam, mainly because sections numbers don't exactly match.
However, the style of the exam will be the same, as seen in this old exam and also in the Exam 1 this semester; Part 1 - Computations, Part 2 - Prove/Disprove of simpler assertions, Part 3 - Proofs.
The following two sets from homework questions will be good examples for the upcoming exam. For a practice test, solve each set within 75 minutes.
Set 1: 4.2 #10, 4.4 #18, 7.3 #10, 5.3 #10a, 6.1 #8, 6.1 #22
Set 2: 4.2 #12(a), 4.4 #6, 4.2 #15, 5.3 #18, 7.2 #13, 6.1 #20
Homework questions usually require deeper thoughts. Most actual questions on the upcoming exam will be simpler versions of these practice homework questions, except one or two that may be as complex as the homework questions.

No make-up for the final exam
My old Exam 2 Sp2023 will help for you to be better prepared for the upcoming final exam. Here's its Solution of Exam 2 Sp2023
Be sure to study the two midterm exams.
I am not sharing my old final exam from Sp23 because the sections covered that semester were more and don't exactly match with this semester's final.
Further updates may appear as the date gets closer
