However, honing your skills on the Lagragian mechanics will prepare you well for the midterm. ''Very basic'' Lagrangian problems will feature in the midterm (see the practice exam).

However, if your midterm score is already very good (close to 200 or above it, e.g.) your bounty may decrease substantially. (<>) This last rule is an individual curving, applied after computing the score on the group solution. * Your group consists of maximum 3 students (and minimum 1 student) of 105. * You are welcome to consult with other people (but me) on these questions. You can ask me only to clarify the question. * Your group need to submit neatly written solution, after completely solving each problem. No partial solution will be accepted. * One or two members of the group will (probably) be required to explain your written solutions in person (just like during my office hour discussions). The lowest of the interview scores will override the score of the written solution for the group, and will become the final score on the group solution (prior to the individual curving mentioned above). * Due the day of the final exam. * <>.

Thanks, JW! (Checking last years's grading rubric record, there was no deduction for the sign inconsistency, on this one. So, it seems that there was no impact of this sign error on the grading.)-~ * Also, review all homework problems, including the first two problems of HW 09 ([[#Homework|see above]]). * This year's final exam may or may not be in a similar format as last year's. * <> (<>) ([[/Midterm_stats|stats and rubrics]]). * ~-<>.-~ Thanks, EB. * ~-<> -~ * [[Midterm Review Summary|Midterm review session summary]]. * <>. * ~-Minor update -- some sentences added/tweaked.
