Coverage: All we have studied, inlcuding Chapters 1-6 and 8, omitting topics marked with a dagger, e.g., Cantor's Theorem on pp. 32-33, and in Section 8-3 covering only pages 227-230, Corollary 8-13, Theorem 8-14, and Examples 8-16 and 8-17.
Rules: it will be a closed-book, closed-notes exam. The only things you will be allowed to use is paper, a pen, a pencil, a calculator, and a one-sided 8x11 in note card. A calculator will not be needed and may in fact distract your attention. In fact, the note card may also distract your attention - use it with great discretion, only when you need to look up something that you know there is, but do not remember what it is in every detail.
The exam will consist of a few problems similar in the spirit to those of Problem Sets, except that they should generally not be that time-consuming. However, remember we are all different people: a problem whose solution you see immediately and may write down in 5 minutes may not crack to someone else even after two hours of hard thinking. If no idea comes to your mind after you have thought about a problem on the test for about 5, just skip it. Returning to it later after you have solved other problems may bring some new insight.
The best way to get ready for the test is NOT reading your class notes or the textbook. What will be tested first of all is your ability to solve problems, so you should dedicate most of the preparation time to practicing problem solving. The more problems you solve (on your own or within your study group) before the test, the more sure regarding your test performance you can be. I think the best way to use the text or your notes is looking up into them, whenever in the process of solving a problem you feel you need to recall some material which may be useful to solving the problem. Reviewing (or better, solving again) homework and hour test problems may be another way to get ready to the test.
