• Homework   (Latest Update: April 30)

• Questions based on concepts covered in chapters 4, 5, and 6. You do not need to do them, but working out the answers is a good exercise in dealing with abstract concepts.

• Solutions to Test 1   Test 2   Test 3 (partial)   [PDF]

• Overheads/Slides/Pseudo-Power-Point [PDF files in reality; section numbers correspond to the Edwards & Penney textbook]:   1.1   1.2   1.3   1.4   1.5   2.2   2.3   2.4   4.1   4.2 and 4.3   4.4   7.3   6.0   6.1   6.2   5.1   5.4   5.2   1.6 and 5.3  

  Note for those who want to print these out: Each page is roughly 3" by 4", and there are often lots (dozens) of pages. After clicking on "Print ...", you should click on the "Page Scaling" button (located in the "Page Handling" portion of the "Print" pop-up) and then click on "Multiple pages per sheet". Change "Pages Per Sheet" to 6 (a good value), "Page Order" to Horizontal, and "Orientation" to Landscape. (These are the settings that work best for my computer and Acrobat Reader version 8 --- you should also have a preview in the "Print" pop-up. This will also show how the settings affect what will be printed.)

• The next test will be Test 3, held on April 24/25, and will cover sections 5.1 - 5.4 (of the Edwards & Penney book) or sections 6.1 - 6.4 and 6.A (of the Heckman book).
  

  The Final Exam will be comprehensive, and you will be allowed to use a sheet's (8½'' x 11'') worth of notes. You may only include formulas and procedures; you may not work out any examples. Notes must be hand-written; no copiers, computers, or any other technology may be used. Notes which violate these conditions may result in a reduction of your grade. If you have questions about what a "worked out example" is, see this page. You must turn in your notes with your final exam.

  No one will be allowed in the classroom once the first person has turned in their test and left.
