Q SCI 291: Analysis for Biologists

Practice Final Examination

To gage your comprehension of the material covered, I suggest that you work as many Chapter Review Exercises as possible. These exercises are found at the end of each chapter of your text and should be worked prior to taking the practice exam.

The following examination problems are taken from the Chapter Review Exercises in the text and the answers may be found in the back of the book.

The actual final examination will have fewer problems (usually about 15-20 problems to be worked over 110 minutes) than this practice exam. Nevertheless, to insure that you fully understand the material, you should place a time constraint on yourself when working the practice exam. The Final Exam will usually have some True-False questions as well.
