only need to bring no. 2 pencils and erasers. The last page
of the exam will be this Table of Laplace Transforms

Practice problems are posted

A seating chart for the Final Exam will also appear there soon.

Here is direct link to the Practice problems

Exam 1 was on Tuesday, February 24 in the Elliott Hall of Music.
It covered Lessons 1-16. Doing practice problems 1-16 was a
good way to prepare.

It covered Lessons 17-29. Doing practice problems 17-27 was
a good way to prepare.

Reviewing all the Practice Problems, including the new problems,
28-35 on the Laplace transform, is a good way to prepare for the
final exam.
