Information about Exams for Math 441, Autumn 2014

Final Exam

The final exam is on Thursday 12/11, 8:30-10:20, in our usual classroom. The general rules below apply: one sheet of notes as described below, bring your own paper, turn off electronics, etc. I'll probably make the seating chart without having to pass a sign-in sheet. Again, don't sit near your "study buddies," so any unusually similar work won't look suspicious.

Office hours during exam week:
Tues. 12/9, 10:30-11:30 & by appt. (11:30-2 not available)
Wed. 12/10, 11:30-12:30 & by appt. (10:30-11:30 not available)

The final will emphasize the material since the midterm, but of course problems on that material may use information from earlier, e.g. continuity metric spaces, results about bases, etc. Some study materials will be posted at the "Tests" page of the Math 441 A14 Workspace as soon as possible.

If you are taking (or thinking of taking) 442:

General rules:


Study Suggestions

Topics covered. The midterm will focus on the Metric Spaces handout and §§12-13 and 15-21 in Chapter 2 of Munkres. Chapter 1 will not be tested directly. If there are facts from Chapter 1 (including the exercises) that we've needed in proofs and you don't know by heart, they are candidates for your sheet of notes. (For instance, do you remember whether the image of the intersection is always the same as the intersection of the images?)

Here are some more study ideas.
