| Midterm will take place
on Wednesday October 15-th in AA204, 6-7pm (midterm is 1
hour, but please come 10 minutes early to start setting up)
Practice midterms from prior years can be found bellow. Note that not all problems in these we have covered in class so far, those we did not, will not appear in the midterm. Solutions to the practice problems will not made available, but you can discuss these with each other, TA or myself during office hours. Practice midterms: Fall 2004, Fall 2005, Fall 2006, Fall 2007, Spring 2008. |
