office hours correction

hey,

i forgot about an important dinner i have to attend on thursday evening. in the afternoon, i will be a reviewer for shun kanda's studio. conclusion: i will not be able to hold office hours in the afternoon or evening.

i will return to school later in the evening (after 10-11?). so, i will have office hours from 11pm to midnight on thursday.

i will also hold office hours tonight from 8-9pm. i will be in my office all evening...

sorry for any inconvenience... i tried to propose several alternatives to ask questions! hopefully, this works out?!

good luck studying and finishing up the semester!

preparing for final exam

hey

i uploaded the solutions of the exercises handed out earlier on the class stellar site. on general request, i also uploaded last year's final exam. this gives you plenty exercises to practice!!

i will be holding 'emergency' office hours thursday 8-9pm to answer last minute questions and to briefly go over last year's final if necessary.
