Midterm

• The midterm exam is upon us. It will be held on Feb 12 in our classroom during our regular class schedule.

• Here is my barebone summary of relevant materials.

  • To the midterm, you can bring one letter size paper filled with potentially useful formulae and facts (like those contained in my summary sheet).

  • You should also bring a simple calculator for the midterm (not a graphing calculator; a smart phone is not allowed, and neither is any internet connected device).

• As a practice for the midterm exam, I recommend that you try the following.

  • Try the last year’s midterm. However, note that in this year’s exams, I do not intend to have any multiple choice questions.

  • Here are some more problems to try.

  For both these problem sets, if you come up with a nice and clean solution to any problem, you can upload it on the forum, for potential extra credit.
• There will be a review session next week (one of Mo,Tu,We), but I am not certain what time that will be. It depends on students' schedules and the room schedule.
