Looking Ahead

    Office Hours Exam Week:
            Mon 10-11, 2-3
            Tue 10-11, 2-3
            Wed 11:30-12:30, 4-5

    Since you are working on your papers, I'm giving you a break from homework.
    However, there are a few problems whose type will be on the final exam, and that
    I recommend you do as preparation for the exam.  They are:

    Sec 8.2: # 36,41,48,52
    Sec 9.1: # 1,3,4,6

    Again, I want to stress that the material pertaining to these exercises will be
    on the final exam.  But, handing in the homework is *optional*.  IF you do hand
    in these exercises sometime before the final exam, they will replace your
    lowest homework score.

    Final Exam --- Thursday, May 8, 1:30-4:30 pm  (In Class)
       Covers  Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,
                                  2.1-2.5,
                                  3.1-3.4,
                                  4.1-4.4,
                                  5.1, 5.2,
                                  6.1, 6.2, 6.3,
                                  7.1, 7.2,
                                  8.1, 8.2,
                                  9.1, 9.2

    You may bring one 8.5x11" formula sheet, and I'll collect your formula sheets at the end of the exam.
