  There are no makeup quizzes in general. The extreme weather on January 11 prevented a fair number of people from getting to school and I made a one-time exception to the no-makeup rule. This is the makeup quiz and solutions:

Exam 1: Thursday February 14, in your section room 2250-6, 9:35-10:35 a.m., JFB 103; or 2250-5, 10:40-11:40 a.m., LCB 219. We start the exam 5 minutes before regular class time, and end it 5 minutes after regular class time, so that you have one hour to work on the exam.
    We'll review the content from Chapters 1-3 Wednesday in class, using these notes: exam1review.pdf 
    We'll go over last fall's exam on Tuesday from 4:30-6:00 p.m., in JFB 102. 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: Friday April 26, 10:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. You will be able to work until 12:45, if you wish. We will use our regular classroom LCB 219.
Review sessions: We reviewed the course material on the last day of classes, using these Math_2250_review.pdf notes. I'd also recommend going through the course learning objectives carefully, on our syllabus 2250syll.pdf
    I will review last spring's final exam material on Thursday April 25 from 10:00 a.m - 12:00 noon., in AEB 350. 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.
