Math 147 - Final Exam Topics
The best way to study for the exam is to work through the examples presented in class,
problems from the suggested homework, and as many problems from this review as possible.
The final exam will consist of 25 multiple choice questions worth 4 points each. The final
exam is scheduled for
• Sections 501–503: December 14th from 8:00-10:00 AM in Richardson 114
• Sections 504–506: December 15th from 8:00-10:00 AM in Richardson 114
• Sections 507–509: December 16th from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM in Richardson 114
Students should bring a scantron (#882-E), a No. 2 pencil, and TAMU ID. The use of
calculators is not allowed.
