Review Problems Solutions to review sheet Notes from class A sheet of formulas you need to memorize. I will give you the first (blank) page to fill in from memory, and which I will collect (each formula is worth a few points). Then (when everyone at your table is done) I will pass out the complete (second) page, so everyone has the correct formulas during the main part of the exam. Note final exam week office hours below. |
