Another great way to study is to make sure you can work all problems on all your quizzes. My keys to those are on the website. Finally, you could go back and re-work any of the assigned homework problems from the text. Here is a pdf file with the keys from the quizzes we have taken so far. You know you are ready for the Mid-Term when you can take any of the problems given above and work them using only your study sheets. You may use all of your old study sheets for the first three quizzes on the Mid-Term, plus a new one. So you may have up to four pages of study notes. Also remember to bring a calculator. If you don't bring one to the test, you will just have to miss any problems that require one. In class on Monday (Oct. 17th), I will be happy to answer questions on any of these review problems. We will take our Mid-Term exam on Wednesday, the 19th.
