  • Topics to study - This is a review sheet from a previous quarter of Math 112. By the end of this quarter you should know everything on it except for the last three topics under Optimization (line fitting, best-fit exponential functions, and linear programming).
    You may also want to go over the review sheets from Exam I and Exam II posted above.
