Very Important Announcement
The computer file containing the grades for one part of the first midterm
got clobbered and the restore from backup failed. Hence
- Please return to the instructor both parts of your first midterm exam
so the grades can be rerecorded.
- Of the four parts of the midterms (1st class, 1st lab, 2nd class, 2nd lab)
we will drop either
- the missing grade if you did not hand in your first midterm for
rerecording, or
- the lowest of the four grades if you did hand it in.
Announcements
New! All homework solutions
now posted.
New! Extended office hours.

The old exams are not much use. This year we are using a new textbook,
and the exams will use computers, which they never did before. You may
look if you like, but be warned. This year's exams will be different.
The only point of looking at the old exams is to see about how difficult
(or easy, depending on how you see them) they are.
