The following is a self-assessment test courtesy of Prof. McGehee. If you have serious trouble with it, that is you answer incorrectly 5 or more questions, your preparation in Algebra and Calculus may not be sufficient for you to benefit from 5651, and you should consider withdrawing from 5651 in order to first master the mathematical foundations of the course.

The correct solutions to the self-test are: 1d, 2c, 3a, 4e, 5d, 6e, 7a, 8c, 9d, 10c, 11b, 12e.
