You will not be allowed to use a calculator on the exam. The arithmetic in all the questions can be done easily without a calculator.

Bring your YorkCard or other photo ID to the exam.

You will be asked to give the precise statement of a theorem in three of the exam questions. To prepare for these questions you should know the statements of the following results from the text.

Name Result Number Page
Intermediate Value Theorem 1.6.2 71
Maximum Value Theorem 1.6.4 75
Rolle's Theorem 2.6.2 166
Mean Value Theorem 2.6.3 168
L'Hopital's Rule 2.8.3 199
Existence Theorem for Definite Integrals 3.2.8 274
Additivity of Definite Integrals 3.2.10 277
First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus 3.3.1 287
Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus 3.3.2 289


There will be no proofs on the exam. However, you are expected to be able to state the above theorems and apply them.

There will be 25 short questions on the exam and 4 long questions. The three in-class exams of Section A are of this style. They can be found on the Section A course webpage. The long questions are similar in style to the questions on the December 1999, December 2000, December 2001 and April 2002 final exams. These exams, with solutions, are also posted on the Section A course webpage.

It is also useful to review the quizzes on the Section A course webpage as well as other types of assigned homework exercises which did not appear on those quizzes and exams.

Math 1300 exams from before December 1999 are of limited use. In particular, they are based on a different text which covered more topics on integration. On the other hand, they did not cover inverse trigonometric functions and L'Hopital's Rule which we did cover. Atkinson exams are also of little relevance for these reasons.
