Final exam: Thurs, Dec 17, 8:00am


Color code:
Orange: Read carefully before class. We'll review the main points in class, but most of our time will be working through problems from these sections.
Magenta: Skim before class. I will lecture on this material, but you'll understand things better if you have an overview of the topic.
