Exams
Midterm 1 will be in class on Wednesday, April 24th. This is one version of the exam and its solutions.
Midterm 2 will be in class on Friday, May 17. This is one version of the exam and its solutions.
The final exam will be on Monday, June 10th, from 8:00 to 11:00am.
The following are exams from past iterations of this course. They will not exactly match the upcoming exams; do not be surprised if our midterms differ from them. Nonetheless, they (along with the homework problems) will provide good practice leading up to the exams. Solutions will not be posted, but your instructor or TAs will be happy to discuss them with you.
