Math 40 Final Exam Review
Notice that topics here are arranged a little bit differently than the order in which you learned them. This is to help you to see the similarities and contrasts between all the different topics you have learned over the semester. Example problems are listed with each topic; all chosen problems are those that have solutions in the back of the textbook.
Suggested study plan: Plan on studying for seven days. Each day, practice the problems in one category and work through a couple of problems in the “Applications” category. In this manner, you can prepare for your final exam over one week. Certainly, if you are having trouble with a topic, you will want to do more than the suggested problems to gain a mastery of the topic.
