Studying for the second midterm

• Which topics and theorems do you think are the most important out of those we have studied?
• Well I would have to say that the most important thing is proofs about functions. I say this because I learned a ton when I was learning about them about what functions really are, which changed my entire perspective on math. I also had the hardest time understanding it, so it's most likely the most important thing.
• What kinds of questions do you expect to see on the exam?
• I would say problems that look like the homework. The homework for the most part is very appropriate. The difficulty is exactly as it should be, and it covers the expanse of the material. Historically, the homework I've done for math classes is far harder than anything we ever need to understand at that level, and so it's frustrating and we don't profit from doing the homework at all. But this homework prepared me very well for the last exam, and I would expect the same for this exam.
• What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam? Come up with a mathematical question you would like to see answered or a problem you would like to see worked out.
• Currently I am focusing on SPMI proofs, but I also need some perfecting in the f-circle-g proofs. It's better than it was when I came to office hours, but I haven't reworked any problems from that section yet. That's my plan for when I finish this blog post. On that note...over and out.
