REVIEW FOR EXAM 2
The standard disclaimer applies. Here is a list of potential topics on the exam. If
something that was in the book and/or discussed in class isn't on this list, it may still show
up on the exam. And, just because something is on this list, doesn't mean that it will be on
the exam. This list is only meant to supplement your review of the textbook
and of your lecture notes.
