Dear 2.086 students:
The 2.086 final examination has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 20 from 1:30 to 4:30 in Walker (50-340). It is my understanding that it is possible that some of you could possibly have other exams scheduled at the same time during finals week. In that case, conflict exam times will be established but the schedule for conflict examinations will not be published until the day after Drop Date, Thursday, April 24.

Matlab installation
Dear 2.086 students:
The main software we will use in this course is Matlab. I suggest you install it on a laptop according to the instructions at http://ist.mit.edu/matlab/all/student If you are able to do this before your first lab, that will enable you to begin work most effectively including starting the first computer assignment that is due in two weeks. If you can't load it by tomorrow, you can start working on the handwritten homework (due next week) or else load the software during lab time. In general, please try to remember to bring a laptop to each lab session.
