017 Final Exam Topics

Topics and sample problems for Math 017 Final Exam (long version)
Below there are 59 categories: 9 arithmetic categories 13 easy algebra categories 24 basic algebra categories 9 difficult algebra categories 4 very difficult algebra categories Each version of the exam will be created as follows: First, 45 categories will be selected: All 9 arithmetic categories will be included. From the algebraic categories, 8 categories will be selected at random from 13 easy categories, all 24basic algebra categories will be represented, 3 out of the 9 difficult categories, and 1 from thevery difficult category. After this process, we will have 45 categories. One question out of each such category will be selected at random. Thus, the test will consist of 45 questions.
