Well if you go over the problems in your textbook and from your class notes instead of typing posts onto Internet boards you'll probably do well on your final. :tongue:

NeutronStar, The problem is that we don't have a normal textbook (if we did, I wouldn't have posted here). The book that we use(which cost only $10, so I'm not complaining) contains primarily theoretical problems that don't help much for tests (and I've spent a lot of time on those also).

Joe,

Your list is rather comprehensive and I don't think a shotgun approach will be very constructive or effective. Why don't you prioritize your needs and narrow the list down to a few items according to your greatest needs? Focus!

try this

find integration of (square root of sin x)and let me know the arrived answer
 

1. What types of math problems should I focus on for my math finals preparation?

It is important to review all types of math problems that have been covered in your course. This includes algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus.

2. Where can I find math problems to practice for my finals?

You can find math problems in your textbook, on online resources such as Khan Academy or MathisFun, or by asking your teacher for practice problems.

3. How many math problems should I practice for each final?

It is recommended to practice at least 20-30 problems for each final, but the more practice problems you do, the better prepared you will be.

4. How can I check if my answers to the math problems are correct?

You can check your answers using a calculator or by asking your teacher for the correct solutions. It is also helpful to have a study group or tutor who can check your work.

5. Should I focus on memorizing formulas or understanding the concepts for my finals?

It is important to have a good understanding of the concepts in math, but it is also helpful to memorize important formulas and equations. Make sure to practice applying these formulas in different types of problems.
