Exam 1: Thursday February 16, in our classroom. If you are in section 5 you will take the exam from 10:40-11:40. If you are in section 6 you will take it from 11:45-12:45.
    We'll review the content from Chapters 1-3 Wednesday in class, using these exam1review.pdf  notes. I'll go over last fall's exam on Tuesday from 5:00-6:30 p.m., in AEB 310. That exam is linked below, along with its solutions. Even though the warning below applies, my old exams give you an idea of how I structure exams, and how I try to address a selection of the course concepts.
Warning: exam topics and concepts are not restricted to the particular ones which appear on this practice test!

Final exam: Thursday May 3, 10:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. You will be able to work until 12:50, if you wish. We will use our regular classroom LCB 219 and the neigboring room LCB 225, so that there is ample space. You may choose either room.
Review sessions: We reviewed the course material on the last day of classes, using these Math2250review.pdf notes.
    I will review last fall's final exam material on Tuesday May 1 from 2-4 p.m., in JFB 102. That exam and its solutions are posted below. Remember the usual caveats: Review concepts/topics first, to check and integrate your understanding of the course material. Class notes and the text are useful at this stage. Then look for representative problems to test your understanding of concepts, techniques, and applications. At this point old quizzes and homework problems as well as old exams are good source material. Remember that no exam can cover all topics, so do not expect topic coverage on previous exams to necessarily coincide with this spring's version of the final exam.
