Algebra - Reference

Are these formulae present in attached PDF will be tested in GMAT?l[/u]

[Ian Stewart]

The content of the first two pdfs (about calculus) - absolutely not. There is no calculus on the GMAT. About half of the third pdf ('GMAT algebra') contains GMAT content, and half is content you will never need for the test. Ignore all the material on logs, complex numbers, the more complicated 'factoring rules', and the advanced equations of graphs. Better still, get a reliable source for GMAT math review, one that appropriately covers the material you need to know for the test.

I echo Ian's comments. Not only do you not need ANYthing from the first two and about 1/2 of the third, but trying to apply those techniques on the GMAT will be seriously detrimental.

The GMAT problems are designed to reward those who can quickly apply logical thought and algebra in an time-sensitive environment. It does not require the skills presented in those sheets.

In fact (I'm not an MBA, so this was my impression) but unless your b-school offers a PhD and you elect to take some of those classes as part of your MBA studies, you won't ever see those calculus concepts in either GMAT preparation or MBA study.
