Final Exam

 

 

 

 

 

--- Problems with ‘*’ next to them are to be handed in on updated due dates.

Notes: 1. Without permission homework past due date will not be accepted.

            2. Homework without the problem statements will not be accepted.

            3. Free exchange of ideas is encouraged. But regarding collected homework such exchange must be limited to the verbal kind. You must not complete each other’s ideas, words, or work in any written form. Shared works in all electronic forms are strictly forbidden. These rules certainly do not apply to group projects within the groups but do apply between groups. The consequence for breaking these rules is for me to divide evenly one score among all sufficiently similar works.

 

Homework: Problems to hand in will be assigned on Tuesdays and collected on following Tuesdays. There will be at least one group project.  It may require the use of the mathlab in Bessey 105.
