  • Problem set 14 (the last one!) has been posted.
  • Final exam information:
    • Scheduled for Monday December 13, 3:30-6:30 pm at Natural Sciences Complex (NSC) 222.
    • Covers material presented since Exam 2, viz. problem sets 10-14, chapters 6 and 7 of the text.  Note that we will not be covering chapter 9 this semester, so it will not be on the exam.
    • The exam will differ slightly from Exams 1 and 2.  There will (as before) be a few questions taken from the book problems, but other questions may be given as well.
    • The length of the exam (i.e., the number of questions) will be comparable to the previous exams, even though the time allotted to take it is doubled.  Thus you should have plenty of time to complete the exam.
  • Note that all problem set and exam solutions are available (after they are due!) in Makin' Copies, a copy center located in the UB Commons.
