Final

The final exam will be Friday 12/20 from 9:00AM - 12:00PM in Dupont Gym

You may bring in 2 “cheat sheets”, with writing on both sides, written or printed in any manner that doesn’t require specialized instruments to read. Don’t worry about cramming formulas: we’ll give you ones you are likely to need. You will not need a calculator!

If you need special arrangements due to a documented disability, please contact lpk@mit.edu right away.

The exam will cover:

  • Lectures 1–23
  • HW 1–7
  • Projects 1–2

The homework and project are the best definition of the scope of the exam. Additional problems below. Note that we don’t have practice problems directly relating to Project 2 or some topics noted at the top of the practice material, but that does not imply they will not be covered on the exam.

Here are some additional practice problems. The hardest ones are probably more difficult than our exam will be and a few are at the margins of material we have covered. Please excuse the formatting—we found pdfs for these problems but don’t have the source.
