The purpose of the study guide is to point out the most important terms, concepts, principles, etc. that you should know. It is not a panacea that covers everything that may show up on your test.
General Advice:
A. Review the key terms listed for completing fill in blanks at the end of every chapter.
B. Review the summary of equations at the end of each chapter.
C. Review example problems and some of the end of chapter problems.
D. You should be able to state basic principles and conservation laws.
