Coverage: The exam covers everything, from the first day to the last day. Everything means everything: lectures, all 110 of the homework problems, and the textbook. For the textbook, it means the sections covered by the first midterm, the sections covered by the second midterm, and Section 10.6 (to page 679, skipping pages 659-663 and 671-672), covered after the second midterm. There should be some emphasis on the recent material, for which this exam is both midterm and final.
Ground rules: Paper will be provided. Bring pencil and eraser. Please bring your photo ID to the test. No calculators (an answer of pi/ln 2 should be left like that). Closed book, except that you may bring a 3 x 5 note card, if you wish (with writing on both sides). After the exam, keep the note card with your other treasured possessions.
The format will be similar to the midterms, but about twice as long. The test problems will be mostly like the homework. ("Mostly" means mostly, and "like" means that I think similar methods are used.) Answers should be supported by the work shown.
My tenth-week office hours will be MWF 2-3. Moreover, I will hold a "last chance" question & problem session on Sunday, June 12, 11:00 am, in MS 5200. And last-minute questions can always be posted to our virtual office hours board.
How to make three practice final exams: Take the two practice midterms, the two actual midterms, and the fifteen homework problems from Section 10.6. Now you have 41 problems, which is more than enough for three exams.
