Topics Covered

  • What will be on the exam? Anything we have covered in lecture, homeworks, and/or reading assignments up to and including 11/11 is fair game for the exam. It is reasonable to assume that topics we have dealt with more extensively are likely to feature more prominently than topics we have only touched on, although anything is possible.

You can also use past exam 1 questions as practice as not all topics on those exams were covered on exam 1 but will be covered in exam 2.

  • Will X be on the exam? Please refer to the previous section. To ensure all students receive identical information about what will and will not be on the exam, course staff have been instructed to refer students to this page without commenting further.

Practice Exam

We recommend that you set (at least) one exam aside to do as a “practice exam,” where you mimic real test conditions — e.g. print it out, time yourself, and don’t reference class materials. The best exam to use for this purpose is Fall 2023. Questions are here and answers are here.

Current and Previous Exams

  • Please remember that the selection and order of topics varies somewhat from semester to semester, so previous exams may include questions that are not relevant to this semester, and they may not cover all topics that may be examined this semester.
