Exam 3 corrections were slated to be due at the final exam on Tuesday, December 15. However, given the large number of people who didn't make it to class Friday to get their exams back, I'm extending the deadline for submissions by 48 hours to 1:30pm on Thursday, December 17. In the interest of equity, this applies to everyone, not just those who haven't picked up their exams. Nonetheless, I suggest that, for those who do have their exams, it will be beneficial to complete corrections prior to the final if possible.
Exam correction: Each student may submit corrected versions of
two problems from Exam 3.
Choose any problems you like, except you may not resubmit #1.
You must resubmit the entire problems (unless a problem had multiple parts; then resubmit only parts you didn't get completely correct). The maximum number of additional points you can earn is the number of points you originally lost on the problems you resubmit. Staple the sheet with your corrected versions on front of your exam before handing it in. Clearly indicate the numbers of the problems you're redoing. You are not allowed to work together or get help from any person on exam corrections! However, you are allowed to consult books, notes, etc.
Here is the Review sheet for the final exam.
The sheets of Solutions and hints for
for Supplemental Homework 10,
Supplemental Homework 11, and Supplemental Homework 12 are now available.

The grading of each problem assignment will include up to 3 style points. It is expected that most students will receive all these points. To do so, first you must be sure to follow the homework guidelines described on the page linked below. Second, if I have to reread a solution several times to find a train of thought, or if a solution is illegible, ambiguous, or incoherent, your style points will be reduced. Thus, you should give some thought to how you present your work.
We'll follow the guidelines for homework format from Harvey Mudd College for your problem assignments. (You can ignore the section "Using LaTeX to Format Your Homework".) However, if recopying a problem statement would require more that three lines of writing on your paper, you can abbreviate the statement in a concise yet understandable way.
Any PowerPoint presentations given in class will be posted in ANGEL under the "Lessons" tab.
The textbook we'll use is available on ANGEL under the "Lessons" tab. I recommend that you print it out and put it in a three-ring binder for ease of use.
