Announcements:

  • Have a good Christmas everyone! A word to remember about the final: it was designed to be challenging - I let everyone know that in the review. Don't sweat it too much if you feel you didn't do as well as you normally do - you are probably not alone, so it makes no difference when it comes time for the final marks.
  • Assignment 4 is now available to be picked up in the distribution center.
  • The final exam will be cumulative, however will be biased towards the material post midterm. It covers up to chapter 15. Please show up with your calculator on the exam day.
  • Sketch solutions to the midterm are available here. A copy of the midterm is available here.
  • Important: Question 4 from the midterm was not marked properly. Consequently, we are awarding 4 points to each exam. They have already been raised on the marks sheet.
  • Midterm coverage information and chapter 6 practise problems available here ** updated Oct. 16. Remember to check the course outline to see where your section is writing.
