Hour Exam Preparation
February 28, 2015
For the hour exam (7:00 PM Wednesday, March 11) you should:
be able to define the following terms and concepts. It is sufficient to be able to write logically
correct definitions. Its not necessary to know definitions word for word.
be able to use the following terms and concepts.
be familiar with a collection of examples that illustrate the different terms and concepts.
Many examples can be used to illustrate multiple terms and concepts.
be able to prove simple properties of or relationships between terms and concepts.
