Math 147 - Common Exam I Topics
The best way to study for the exam is to work through the examples presented in class,
suggested homework problems, and as many problems from this review as possible. The
multiple choice part of the exam will take place October 1st during recitation. The short
answer part of the exam will take place October 2nd during lecture in Richardson 114.
Students should bring a scantron (#815-E), a No. 2 pencil, and TAMU ID. The use of
calculators is not allowed.
