Problems to study for Math 105 Exam 1 BETA

Here is a breakdown of Math 105 Exam 1 by topic. Each problem reference is a link, so you can click on it to see the problem. Your browser should take you to the right page of the exam, but keep in mind that the problem you're looking for might be toward the bottom of the page. Next to each problem you'll see a # character. If you click on that, it should take you to the solution.

Old exam problems should not be the only thing you study. They are designed to test knowledge, not teach it. And there's a danger that you might start thinking you know exactly what will be on the test. While there are some predictable topics, there will undoubtedly be questions on this year's exam which are different from any that have appeared before. So keep in mind that you're training yourself to approach hard problems, not memorizing how to do particular types.

Here's my suggestion for how to use this page:

  1. Try a sampling of problems to identify an area that you need help with.
  2. Go to your book to read about the topic.
  3. Come back here and find more problems on the same topic, to see if you got it.

Don't omit step 2.

I'm not entirely happy with the topics shown below. Please make suggestions on how to better categorize problems.

Let me know any errors you find, and any other feedback you have on how well it works and how to make it more useful. Links to all the exams are at the bottom of the page.
