Imminent exam

Here's the deal on exam II, which is Tuesday 6 November. Email me if you have questions ...

The exam is problem-based (no multiple choice). You will be given 12 problems, and you can choose any 8 of them to solve. All are equally weighted, simply pick the 8 you feel the best about, and solve those. No, you can't solve 10 and have me pick the 8 to grade ...

Heavy partial credit will be given -- I want to see the right idea, and the right method more than the right number.

You are allowed 2 sides of an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper with formulas, etc, as last time.
