15.084J/6.252J  Nonlinear Programming

Dear Class

Thank you for today!

Just a few reminders for Thursday:

Make sure your presentation lasts between 20-25 minutes

This time we have 4 presentations so it is even more important to keep the time.

DO NOT forget your last assignment to be handed on THURSDAY:

1. Rate each presentation (except your group's) from 1 (worst) to 10 (best)

2. Vote for the best 3 (I will take the winning teams for lunch as a reward). DO NOT vote for your own team of course.

3. Optionally if you want to give feedback to your classmates on their presentations you can include your comments.

Finally we have posted all the presentations on stellar under Project.

We look forward to the remainder of the presentations on Thursday.

Like today pizza will be provided!

The midterm is coming up on this Tuesday April 8 during class time in our regular classroom E51-372. To make sure there are no time issues we have booked the classroom from 10-12:30pm (nevertheless, we expect you to be done in no more than 2 hours). Let us know if you have any issues on this.

In preparation for the exam we have posted on stellar some helpful material

1. The syllabus of the readings relevant to the midterm that we have covered in class so far.

2. A quick review/summary of what concepts we have covered in this course so far.

3. A sample midterm test from old exam problems that can give you a sense of what to expect.

Also, homeworks and recitation solutions are posted too.
