Answer Keys to Previous Exam I

The first exam will be Tuesday, September 25, during lecture. It will cover Chapters 1-4. Here are some exams from previous times that I have taught this course that you can use in your preparation for the first exam. Do be aware that the material covered was not always exactly the same. Hopefully this will be of use to you, but DO NOT use them as your ONLY source for studying the material.
