• The exam for each of the three calculus lab courses (MA1160, MA2160, MA3160) will be similar. They will differ in content as a result of the different material being covered in each course.

• The exam material will be based on the notebooks assigned for weeks 1 through 6 only.

• The exam is short (less than 10 short answer type questions) and you will have one hour to complete it.

• (If you are comfortable with what you have done in the lab, you should be able to finish the exam in about 15 minutes.)

• The exam is intended to give you the opportunity to demonstrate that you personally have experienced and understood the basic Mathematica and mathematical ideas contained in those notebooks.

• The word "basic" refers to the simplest versions of the more frequent ordinary Mathematica commands and mathematical ideas one would most frequently use such as writing expressions, defining functions, plotting, differentiating, integrating, etc.

• You are expected to be able to read and understand Mathematica statements similar to those which you have encountered in those notebooks.

• You are expected to be able to write only the very basic types of Mathematica statements you have encountered in those notebooks.

• For example, you should be able to write a Mathematica statement that defines a given function, or one to plot its graph (but just a basic plot, not any fancy extras like labels).
• Note on Templates: Mathematica allows mathematical symbols to be used (inserted by means of templates) for some parts of expressions and also for some commands. For these exams, you are expected to use the standard text form for expressions and commands as shown in the "Getting Started with Mathematica" supplement. For example, use "Pi" instead of the greek letter for pi; use "x^2" to represent the square of x; and use the command name "Integrate" or "NIntegrate" in place of an integral symbol.

• You are expected to understand the basic mathematical ideas used in those notebooks, and be able to perform associated skills in simple enough cases.
• For example, you should be able to perform simple derivatives if this topic has been discussed. Other examples could include (depending on which course you are studying): constructing a linear function, performing vector operations, and performing integration.

• Write Mathematica code which, when executed, will define the function f(x) = sin(pi * x).
• f[x_]=Sin[Pi*x]
• Write Mathematica code which, when executed, will plot the function f(x) = 1 - x, and show the output you should expect.
• Plot[1-x,{x,-1,1}]; (a sketch showing a straight line from the point (-1,2) to the point (1,0))
• Do what the following Mathematica code requests and show the output you should expect.

  D[x^3,x]

• 3 x^2 (or the equivalent standard mathematical notation)
