Studying for the Final

The formula sheet for the final exam has been posted. It is available here. No old final exam is posted nor will one be posted. This is to discourage you from studying material that wasn't empahsized in the course this semester. If you are looking for additional problems or worked examples to study, please look at all posted PRS Quizzes, Lab Quizzes and Test Solutions. In addition, the text is an excellent resource. Rereading difficult sections is useful as well as working the exercises in the text (labeled, Chapter Number.X.Exercise Number). Best of luck.
