The table below lists the assigned reading and some problems from the text that might be helpful as you study for Test 1. Do not be intimidated by the number of sample problems listed in the table. Many of these problems are similar to each other or they are quite trivial. You will be given the full class period to take the test.
Much of what we have studied so far covers definitions. I will not be asking you to define any terms, but I will expect you to know the term when I use it in a question. For example, I may ask, "Given the set A={a, b, c}, write the power set of A." In this case, you must remember what a power set is.
You will not be allowed to use a calculator during the test nor will you have access to your notes or a cheat sheet. The cover sheet from the previous semester's Test 1 will be the same for your test.
