As with the second exam, you'll be able to makeup 1/2 the points that you missed. I'll have a graded copy for you on Wednesday, but if you'd like to get started earlier you can find a copy of the exam here.

Makeup Exam

If you would like to makeup your second exam, it is due this upcoming Wednesday along with HW#6. You must answer all questions you missed to get credit. Your score will be boosted by half of the points that you missed if you choose to do this. You can find a copy of the quiz here.

Last minute help!

Several students asked for more details on the solution to HW4 and HW5. I've posted a partial solution to the tough part, finding the zeros of the function. Good luck on your exam tomorrow!

Quiz Reminder!

Despite what I said last Friday, we will not be having our fun lecture on `seeing` musical instruments. That will have to be postponed till next Wednesday due to your first exam this upcoming Friday. Take some time to study your old homeworks!

3D plot problems?

The computers on the 7th floor still have a problem with MAPLE 14 and crash when you try to plot in 3D. For now please run MAPLE 12, by running "xmaple12" from the command line.

Submission Guidelines

Submit all homework before class each Wednesday. All MAPLE worksheets must have your name within the worksheet as a comment (not in the filename). All graphs and plots MUST have a title and properly labeled axes. Points will be deducted if these guidelines are not followed. Submit all work and any questions you may have to:

Welcome

I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future.
