Final Exam Information (emailed to all)
Final exam is Thursday AFTERNOON, December 15, 3:30-5:30 p.m.
1. 1. Exam 4 (Final Exam) is on Thursday AFTERNOON,
December 15, 3:30-5:30 p.m. As always,
be sure to look up the room for your exam. It is possible that your room assignment is
different from the assignments for Exam 1-3.
Use http://www.math.wustl.edu/seatlookup/
on the day of the exam. As usual, see http://www.math.wustl.edu/%7Efreiwald/131examsf16.html for general for general information about exams.
2. 2. As always, you can have ONE 3 x 5 notecard with
any formulas or notes you want to have available. No other notes, books, calculators,
electronic devices, …
3. 3. As mentioned on the exams page, the final exam
does not have a hand graded section because the College wants final grades
rather quickly (and there’s a lot of spreadsheet work to do after the final
exam scores are completed). The final
will consist of 18 multiple choice questions (5 points each) and 10 true/false
questions (1 point each).
4. 4. Al the material we covered (lectures, handouts,
textbook reading) could appear on the exam, but there is more emphasis on
materials from Chapters 4-5. Of course,
many questions involve tools from several different parts of the course, so
it’s not always easy to pinpoint “what section of the course a question is
from.” However, I think a fair estimate
is that about 75% of the points on the exam are for Chapter 4-5 material.
5. 5.The TAs and I will offer four 1-hour Q&A
sessions. To provide some focus, each
session will deal with questions related to only one Chapter:
Chapter 2 Saturday 12/10 Wei Wang
Louderman Hall, room 458, 3-4 p.m.
Chapter 3 Sunday 12/11 Cody Stockdale
Hillman Hall, room 60, 1-2 p.m.
Chapter 4 Monday 12/12 Gong
Cheng
Hillman Hall, room 60, 1-2
p.m.
Chapter 5 Tuesday 12/13 Ron
Freiwald
Hillman Hall, room 60, 1-2
p.m.
Of course, these sessions are
optional and you can attend just some of them, as needed. Sessions like these may be helpful
for some students. The more prepared you are with specific questions the
better.
Thank your TAs: these sessions are
offered by the TA’s above and beyond their assigned duties at a time when some
of them are also preparing for exams.
6,
The final exam in the Old Exam Archive for Math 131, Fall 2010 is
an appropriate review exam. All questions are suitable for our
final exam EXCEPT Question 7 on the FL 2010 final exam. Although that exam did allow scientific calculators, ours does not. 7. Students withaccommodations from the DRC should work out the exam scheduling/location directly with the DRc.

Here are links to Exams 1-3 (without solutions). Solutions were
posted in the Daily Assignments Page for the week of each
exam.
