Calculus I (MATH 1060 and 1061) Fall 2014 Review for the final exam

Your comprehensive final exam is Thursday December 11, 10:30 to 12:30. Please contact your
instructor to determine where your section will take the final exam.

Note: The main purpose of this review is to give you an idea of the kind of problems that may
appear on the final exam and to help focus your preparation for it. It is important to understand
that there may be topics on the exam that this review does not directly address and, in turn, there
are topics covered here that may not be on the exam. Moreover, the balance of multiple-choice and
free-response questions on this review is not indicative of the balance on the actual exam.
