What This Document Is
This is a practice test—Test One—for Math 111, Calculus I, at Emory University, administered in Fall 2023. It assesses students’ understanding of foundational calculus concepts covered early in the semester. The test includes a mix of problem types designed to evaluate both computational skills and conceptual understanding.
Why This Document Matters
This test is a valuable resource for students currently enrolled in Math 111 at Emory, or those preparing to take the course. It provides a realistic assessment of the types of questions and the level of difficulty they can expect on an actual exam. Studying this test can help students identify areas where they need further review and practice. It’s particularly useful for self-assessment and exam preparation.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a *past* exam. While indicative of the course’s content and style, it may not perfectly reflect the specific topics or emphasis of a current semester’s instruction. It does not include solutions or detailed explanations, serving only as a practice tool. It is not a substitute for attending lectures, completing homework assignments, or seeking help from instructors or teaching assistants.
What This Document Provides
This test contains nine problems covering the following core calculus topics:
* Average speed and velocity calculations.
* Evaluating limits from graphs.
* Determining discontinuities and non-differentiability of functions.
* Limit evaluation using calculus techniques.
* Derivative computation using rules (power rule, etc.).
* Applying the limit definition of the derivative.
* Linear approximation.
* Related rates (presented as a word problem).
The document also includes space for student identification (name, Emory ID, lecture section) and a scratch paper section. It explicitly prohibits the use of calculators or other aids during the exam.
