Hi Everyone,
I have to write the Math Waiver exam for the Berkeley EWMBA. I was wondering if anyone has given this exam before and can give me some clues on how to study for it.
So far, I see that the following topics are mentioned in the EWMBA memo:
• Working with exponents and logarithms
• Graphing a linear equation (including the concepts of slope and intercept)
• Graphing a linear equality
• Solving a system of simultaneous linear equations
• Strong skills in graphing functions and ability to understand graphical arguments
• Solving word problems (e.g., taking the words of a mixture, age, or work problem, translating them into a system of equations, and solving the system of equations)
• Elementary calculus – simple differentiation
For calculus only basic derivatives stuff is mentioned - no integration etc. The rest of the stuff seems to be similar to the GMAT - is that correct?
Do I need to get all the books mentioned or just any book for calculus + GMAT stuff will do? What do you recommend?
Thanks a lot!
