For the book, that means the six sections:
6.1, 6.2, 6.3 (to page 385),
7.1, 7.2, 7.3.
For the homework, it means all
40 problems assigned
April 25
or earlier.
Ground rules: Paper will be provided. Bring pencil and eraser. No calculators (an answer of pi/ln 2 should be left like that). Closed book (no note cards). Please bring your photo ID to the tests.
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.
I will hold a "last chance" question-and-problem session on Tuesday, April 26, 5:30 pm, in MS 5200. And questions can always be posted on our virtual office hours board.

Disclaimer: No claim of completeness is made;
there are other sorts of problems.
Grade distribution: Maximum possible = 60 (10 points per problem). Mean = 36.7 Median = 38. Grades are posted on my.ucla.
In light of the scores, I plan to use the
following curve.
All these numbers are raw scores, not percentages.
50 - 60: A
35 - 50: B
19 - 35: C
10 - 19: D
Note: Any requests for regrades should be received by May 13. Tell me what you think was overlooked, misinterpreted, or misjudged. I will reexamine the entire test, and may assign a higher or a lower grade.
