There will be two midterm exams and a final, either in open-book in-person or in take-home format. The exact information will be posted here at least two weeks in advance.

Final Exam

Final exam will be in-person exam scheduled on

Tue, May 5, 2026, 1:00-3:00pm, in PRCE 277

Note: Final exam is optional (see Final Score Calculation below)

  • The exam will be open book: you may bring a copy of the textbook [Stein-Shakarchi]. Printouts from an electronic copy of the book are ok. No other books, notes, or any kind of electronic devices are permitted during the exam. (In particular, the copy of [Stein-Shakarchi] that you bring should not contain any notes, but highlights are fine.)
  • Comprehensive exam, covering Chap 1-5 and part of 6 in [Stein-Shakarchi].
  • We will have a review for the exam on Thur, Apr 30, in class.

Final Score Calculation

Your final score will be calculated as the maximum of scores obtained by the two schemes

	Scheme I = (3/10)ME1 + (3/10)ME2 + (1/5)FE + (1/5)HW,
	Scheme II = (3/8)ME1 + (3/8)ME2 + (1/4)HW,

where FE, MEi, HW are the scores (in %) for Final Exam, Midterm Exam i, Homework, respectively. Thus, if you skip the Final Exam, your score will automatically be calculated by Scheme II.
