Mid Term I Review

To prepare for this midterm I can only remind you of the topics that we have covered and suggest ways in which you should prepare.

Methods:

  1. Make sure you know how to do all the homework problems given to date.
  2. Make sure you know the solution to the quiz.
  3. Read the relevant chapters in the reader.
  4. Discuss the material with your peers. I highly recommend this as a method of studying.

Material:

  1. You should totally grok the calculus review part of the course. While there will not be a question specifically asking about this part, you can bet that many problems will have this material as required skill.
  2. Taylor Series, with/without remainder term, go over all our derivations of error for various expressions. Example for question: Calculate the error in the approximation f'(x) \approx \frac{f(x+h)-f(x-h)}{2h} + a h^p .
