Math Self-Check

DSC 140A builds on a lot of previous math courses. To help you brush up, we've put together an (optional) self-check, consisting of a few short problems that use some of the math facts that you may have forgotten.

• Worksheet and Solutions
• Slides

We recommend following the instructions at the top of the worksheet. Namely, try the problems first, then check your answers. If you get a problem wrong, find the relevant part of the slides to review the concept.

The math check is optional and will not be turned in.
