• You will need a scientific calculator
• Please bring one or more writing instruments
• I will not have calculators or pencils for you to borrow
• Exam questions will generally cover material since the midterm
• Though, obviously, material from earlier in the course is often needed to answer a question from later in the course
• Specifically, most of the questions will be from Sections 5.4–5.7, 6.5–6.8, 6.10, 6.12, 6.13 and Chapters 7 and 8 in the text, Lectures 9–15, Homeworks 5–7
• MATLAB questions will involve only interpretation, not coding
