Final exam

  • The final exam will be formatted much like the midterm exam, except that there will be five problems in total.

  • Review session: in our classroom, 5–6:45 PM on Friday (Mar 13) or 10–11:45 AM on Saturday (Mar 14).

  • My barebone summary (sheet 2)

  • Practice problems and some more. (Both these files are relevant for the exam.)

Midterm

  • The midterm score distribution is shown on the left.

  • The midterm with solutions.

  • 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. For both these problem sets, if you come up with a nice and clean solution to any problem, you can present 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. Here is my summary of the two review sessions.
