  4. What to expect
    The exam will be closed book. This study guide prepares you for the mandatory part that covers material since the midterm. Some questions may ask you to state and prove a theorem from the list above, others may be like the exercises from your homework assignments. Even if a statement is listed "without proof" above, you must remember the proof of those parts of it that were on a homework assignment! There may be questions where you have to decide about an example whether it has certain properties. (E.g. "Is this function differentiable?") or where you have to give an example (E.g. "give an example of a function that is continuous but not differentiable at a given number").There will be also an optional part with a few quick questions on the material covered before the midterm. If you choose not to turn in the optional part, I will reuse your midterm score.
