Exam II details

UPDATE: The section numbers below REFER TO THOSE IN THE TEXT, not the ones in my notes. The section numbers on my notes are somewhat different.

----

Exam II will be held this Thursday (22 Mar 2007) during the normal class time. It will cover chapters 19-22 in the text, specifically these sections:

Ch. 19, Sect. 1-9
Ch. 20, Sect. 1-4, 6, 7
Ch. 21, Sect. 1-3, 7-12
Ch. 22, Sect. 1-5, 7

The exam will be entirely problem-based (no multiple choice!), with generous partial credit given. You will be given a list of 12 problems, and you can choose any 8 of them to solve. Chapter 19 will have the most questions, chapters 20 and 22 about the same, and chapter 21 the least.

There will be one bonus question, worth about half of one normal question.

Study example problems, your homework problems, and the quizzes to date (all solutions are now online).

You should bring a calculator, and a formula sheet to the exam. The formula sheet can consists of two sides of an 8.5x11" sheet of paper - either two single sides, or one page front and back. It may contain any information on it you like, written in whatever manner you like.

Course notes are at this point fairly complete, excepting Sections 1-3 of Ch. 21. Consult the text for those missing sections.
