Final Exam
Final Exam - Wednesday, May 15, 8:00-10:30 am - The exam mainly covers Chapters 4 and 5, much of which requires the use of material from earlier chapters. If there is additional material from earlier chapters that you need to know, I will let you know. The exam will be similar to the problem sets, including both computational and proof exercises. To practice for the exam, review the problem sets, do some extra problems from the textbook that are similar to the problems sets, and know ALL of the relevant definitions and theorems.
