    The following questions should not be expected to show up on the actual exam, rather they are
    indicative the types of questions you should, at a minimum, feel comfortable answering prior to
    taking the exam. Anything that we covered in class and referred to in the topic sheet is still fair
    game. Finishing these problems alone is not a good strategy for studying for the exam, but can be
    helpful in indicating your level of preparation.
