Each chapter of the textbook is divided into a number of sections. At the end of each section are a set of exercises. You should try doing in your workbook or journal the odd problems in each section since the answers to these problems are found in the appendix . The more of these problems you do, the better you will do on the final examination. It has been the experience of this instructor that students who do not keep a journal do poorly on the chapter tests and final exam.
Few individuals can master new mathematical concepts without practice and problem solving .
At the end of each chapter is a Review Exercise which contains problems from all the sections in the chapter. Try doing all the problems in the Review Exercise for additional practice. Finally, each chapter concludes with a Chapter Test . All the answers for each end of chapter practice test may be found in the appendix of the textbook. The study method outlined above is the best way to prepare for the actual test you will take over each chapter in the course.
