Homework & Reminders

Apr 8 to Apr 12	Continue with 8.1 & 8.2 of text	ASN 9 due in class Fri Apr 12 Final Exam: the final exam will be comprehensive, covering all material since the beginning of the course. It will be similar in spirit to the two class tests, but about twice as long. You will have questions on the material covered after Test 2, in particular systems of differential equations, so be sure to review that material. As on Test 2, you will be given a copy of the table of Laplace transforms as well as the table summarizing the Method of Undetermined Coefficients. The standard cheat sheet and calculator policies apply: Cheat Sheet Policy: You may use a single letter-size double-sided "cheat-sheet" for the final exam. The cheat-sheet must be handwritten and may contain formulae, facts, definitions and theorems, however your cheat sheet must not contain worked examples. Your cheat sheet must be handed in with your exam. Calculator Policy: A basic scientific non-programmable, non-graphing calculator is permitted.
