Checklist for Midterm Exam 2
General Instructions:
- 2nd midterm will consist of 8-10 questions. To obtain the full credit,
not only the correct answer but the calculations leading to the answer
must be shown. For multiple choice questions, the detailed answer is not required unless
stated otherwise.
- Studying and practicing homework problems and other related problems is important
for the exam, but not all questions on the exam are drawn from the homework.
Questions can also be based upon examples that I or your TAs have covered in lectures
and discussions.
- In this test the theory is especially important. You may be asked simple questions about
definitions and basic concepts.
- No books, notes, calculators or other computer aid is permitted on the exam.

- Sequences: convergence, divergence, all the section 8.1 except for the proof of theorem 1.4.
- Series: definition of convergence, geometric series, k-th term test, harmonic series, all the section 8.2

If you believe there has been a grading error on the exam, discuss it
first with your TA. If that doesn't settle the matter, then explain
the situation in writing and give it to me in class or put it in
my mailbox in 250 Altgeld. The deadline for all such requests is one week
after the exam has been returned. Note: this means one week after
your TA returned the exam, regardless of whether or not you were
in class to receive it on that day.
