Hi folks,
    I have posted a list of problems with solutions on the course homepage under "homework". This is not a practice final. Instead, it's supposed to be used in part of your exam preparation.

Office hours will be as usual 12-1 and 2-3.

With the end of the class approaching, it would be a good idea for everyone to take a minute and look at their own grades on gradebook. If you have any missing homework or midterms that have been excused, they should appear with a grade X. If there are any blank grades, that means we don't know why it's missing, and we will convert the blank into a 0 (zero) grade and count it accordingly. For the homework, you should discuss outstanding issues with the recitation instructor; for the midterm, it's the course admin who's your discussion partner. The deadline for getting all the problems sorted out is the last day of classes (Wednesday).

Again for emphasis: ANY OUTSTANDING BLANK GRADES WILL CONVERT TO 0 UNLESS YOU'VE ARRANGED FOR AN X. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DISCUSS OUTSTANDING ISSUES (Student Support Services or your advisor will not do this for you). THE DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY.

The final is like the midterms: no books, no notes, no calculators. However, there will be a cheatsheet with formulae attached to the final. You can find a draft of it on the course webpage under "exams". This comes with no warranties - it may contain errors - if you find any, email me before the end of classes and I will fix them.

The following material is EXCLUDED from the final exam:

- Finding the Taylor approximation of solutions of ODE's, without solving the ODE itself (mentioned at the end of lecture 13)
- Euler's method for approximate solutions of differential equations (mentioned at the end of lecture 14)
- Gaussian blur (mentioned at the end of lecture 30)

Everything else from the class could be on the exam (even attracting fixed points, or the method of moving averages). Yours

Paul
