Topic for final exam

The final exam will be given at two times.

May 22: 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

May 29: 10 a.m. to noon.

The final is comprehensive. You will need your yellow sheets, a calculator, scratch paper and a pencil.

The test will be four or five pages long. The amount from each part of the class will be

25%-30% from first exam
25%-30% from second exam
40-50% from after the second exam

On the list of topics below, any topic with an asterisk (*) means that though it might have been introduced before the first or second exam, it gets used throughout the class, so I don't necessarily count it as in the percentage of problem promised for each section.

Any topic in bold means you are expected to know how to get the answer without a formula or instructions being provided. In many cases, this means knowing how to use your calculator properly.
