Past exams and HW 3 solutions posted
All,
We've posted:
- solutions to HW 3
- slides from recitation 3
- 2011 and 2010 exams
Please bear in mind that some of the material covered on those exams was not taught this year - so if you see something completely unfamiliar, don't panic! We'll be going over some of the exam questions in the review sessions on Thursday and Friday, and posting the solutions on Friday.
And just a reminder, there will be three review sessions: 8:30am on Thursday, 10:00am on Thursday, and 1:00pm on Friday. They will be held in room E62-233. The same material will be covered in each review.
