    Some review problems from the book covering material from the latter part of the course that might help you prepare for the final:  5.6: 3, 11;  5.7:  5, 13;  6.2: 1;  6.4: 11;  7.2: 3;  7.3: 1, 7;  7.5: 1a, 2(Just set up the integral. answer:  Integral of theta from 0 to 2 pi , integral of z from -a to a of (1 + 2z^2)^.5 ) ), 8(answer: (4 pi/3)(2^1.5 - 1))
   

         Most of an old math 13 final is here.  (There were two more questions on this final involving material we did not cover.)
