• The grading page has been updated to include all the latest statistics.
• The final exam will be held on Friday May 7, from 3:30 to 6:30 in NSC 205 (Natural Sciences Building).  You will have the full three hours to complete the exam, but it will be comparable in length to the previous two exams.
• The exam will cover material from the final third of the course.  This includes chapters 12, 13, and 15, problem sets 11-14.
• The exam is open book.  You may use only your textbook as an aid, and you may not write any detailed notes in your book.  Bring a straightedge.
• To do well on the exam, make sure you understand how to do the problem sets.  Unlike the problem sets, the exam is designed to minimize the amount of computation you have to do.  Just make sure you understand how the calculations are set up, and how the results would change qualitatively as you vary parameters of the problem.  Some of the exam questions are specifically designed to be easy for anyone who actually did the homework, and difficult for anyone else.
• Last year's final exam is available at Makin' Copies. Note that, unlike this year, last year the final was comprehensive. Removed May 5
