MATH 32A Midterm: Math 32A Exam 2
Document Summary
The midterm will consist of ve questions and will test on material from the rst seven lectures (the ma- terial given below). No calculus (either single vari- able or multi-variable) will be needed to answer the questions. You will be expected to know the ba- sic rules of algebra for simplifying expressions and trigonometric identities. Also, a good geometric in- tuition can be helpful on some problems. You might need to draw a picture to answer some questions, but such pictures will be simple to draw. Before we get into multi-variable calculus we need to rst need to develop the tools and terminology to handle multiple variables (i. e. , we need to shed off our two dimensional limitations and embrace higher dimensions). In two dimensions we represent points by (a, b) where a indicates our x-coordinate (i. e. , how far we move in the x-direction) and b indicates our y- coordinate (i. e. , how far we move in the y-direction).
