For the book, that means Chapter 12, up through page 836.
So it covers sections 12.1-12.3 and the first three subsections
of 12.4.
For the homework, it means all
45 problems assigned
October 20
or earlier.
Ground rules: Paper will be provided. Bring pen or pencil and eraser. No calculators (an answer of pi/ln 2 should be left like that). But an answer like P(9,3)/4! should be worked out. 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, October 21, 5:30 pm, in MS 5138. And questions can always be posted on our virtual office hours board.

Note: Any requests for regrades should be received by Monday, November 3. 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. (Needless to say, the test must be unaltered; we keep photocopies of some pages from some tests.)
