Final exam
review will take place on Friday, April 15, 3-5pm in BA 1200.
- Here are a couple of practice
exams for the Final. I will post solutions to them some time next week.
- The Final will cover all the material covered in the
course thus far. That includes: Induction, prime
factorization, modular arithmetic, Fermat's Theorem, Euler's
theorem,
Wilson's theorem, RSA encryption, Euclidean algorithm and its
applications, irrational numbers, algebraic numbers,
rational numbers
and periodicity of decimal expressions, complex numbers,
Cardinality Theory, Shroeder-Berenstein Theorem, Constructable numbers,
impossibility of trisecting an angle, doubling a cube and squaring a
circle.
- Rules for the test: No
aids
allowed. No
calculators! This means that you may need to memorize
some
formulas such as the formula for cos(3θ) and for sin and cos of basic
angles.
- When writing the test, unlesss specifically instructed
otherwise, you can quote without a proof results proved in class. You
may not quote results from homework without a proof.
