Exams

There will be two midterm exams (evening exams) and a final exam (comprehensive). Exam dates will be announced here at least two weeks in advance.

Final Exam


Scheduled on Thur, Dec 18, 8:00–10:00am in HAAS G066.

As before, you will be permitted to bring a copy of the book [R] to the exam. No other books or notes will be allowed (particularly, the copy of [R] that you bring should not contain any notes, but highlights are fine.)

The exam will be comprehensive, i.e., covering all material in the course. We will have  two review sessions for the final (Wed, Dec 10 and Fri, Dec 12).

[Additional Practice Problems for Final Exam]


Final Score


Your final score is going to be calculated by the following scheme:

Final Score =(1/3) FE + (7/30) ME1+ (7/30) ME2+(1/5) HW

where FE, MEi, HW are the scores (in %) for Final Exam, Midterm i, Homework

Midterm Exam 2


Scheduled on Thur, Nov 20, 8:00–9:30pm in LWSN B155.

The exam will cover Chapters 3 (starting with Series), 4, 6, 7 (up to and not including Equicontinuos Families of Functions)

You will be permitted to bring a copy of the book [R] to the exam. No other books or notes will be allowed (particularly, the copy of [R] that you bring should not contain any notes, but highlights are fine.)

The class on Mon, Nov 24 will be cancelled to compensate for the evening exam.

We will have a review on Wed, Nov 19, in class.
