Last muddy answers posted (in materials, slides section)
Dear Class, I have tried to answer all the muddy questions. If I missed your question please ask it again and I can answer tomorrow (Monday).There are a few comments about the content of the exam at the beginning, but these should not be new information, just meant to be consistent with all you have heard from Recitation Leaders. Note that a few of the muddy questions were answered during the final lecture (already posted in the same place, namely in the lecture slides section). Best of luck and best wishes from me and from Jon Kelner.
