- in Brennan Hall, 81 St. Mary Street
Exam help
- Many constants and other information are given.
An example of the first two pages of the
exam is posted.
- Most questions on the exam are related to the
problem sets, the midterm test, or to problems from Frauenfelder
& Henley.
- Solutions to Problem Set 5 will be posted on
April 16.
- All parts of the course were given equal consideration
in making up the exam.
- Most questions have multiple parts.
- Answers may involve analysis, explanations, calculations,
or derivations.
- I will be generally available to answer questions
up until the exam, but send e-mail or call first if you want to
be sure to find me.
