Exam 1 study guide

Calculators will not be allowed for this exam.
This exam will be covering lectures 1-7 (up to and including February 10). The exact sections in the book this corresponds to can be found in the Tentative schedule.
You are also allowed to use the content of lecture 8 (5.1: Pascal's formula and Pascal's triangle), but this should not be necessary.
You are not allowed, it isn't necessary, and probably not even helpful to use material from later sections, such as the Binomial Theorem (5.2).
You should know all the terminology we have defined.
You should know the correct statements of the Major results we have covered so far: PHP, addition principle, multiplication principle, as well as the value of P(n,r) and {n choose r}.
You should know how to apply these results.
We have theorems for counting all sorts of things, and while you don't have memorize them, I will obviously expect you to CORRECTLY count a variety of things (with some justification).
Don't overlook the material from chapter 1.
You should understand the solutions (either mine or yours) to as many homework problems as possible.
You will be asked to prove some new results as well, so make sure you have your "tool box" ready.
If you have the time for it, then doing extra problems from the book can also help. The more you work with the concepts, the "readier" you are going to be.
Some problems on the exam may throw you off at first. Make sure that you get a good nights sleep, so that you are fresh, rested and ready to go!
