Exam 2 results
Hi all,
The exam has been graded, average score 56%. This exam was hard, and this will be taken into account when giving the final grade, so you should not be worried if you got a significantly lower score on this exam than on the previous one.
The solutions of the exam have been posted. Many people misunderstood the statement of problem 5. It was required that the tangent planes pass through *both* of the given points. If it were required that the planes pass only through one of these points, there would have been infinitely many solutions. Also note that these points do not belong to the surface.
