  Midterm information

   

  From page 1 of the midterm:

   

  • This is an open book and open notes exam.
  • You have 90 minutes to solve this exam.
  • This exam has 3 problems each worth 10 points. However, not all problems are of equal difficulty.
  • Please write your name on the top of every page in the space provided.
  • If your solution does not fit in the space provided, and continues onto one of the back sheets, please indicate clearly where we should look for the solution.
  • Unless otherwise stated, recall that "prove that", "show that" for a problem means you need to formally prove what you are claiming.
  • Answering "I don't know" for a problem does not receive any points.
  • You may use, without proof, any result that you were asked to prove in the homework or was proved in the lecture. If you use such a result, please explicitly state the result you are using (like "the cardinality of P(A) is 2^|A|"), rather than saying "this was shown in a homework."

PLEASE make sure to arrive early, and be ready to take the test by 9:00 am. There is a class right after us in 1404 (in fact I believe some of you are in it), and we want to make sure everyone has enough time to finish their test before students for the next class start trying to trickle in.

Please warn us of conflicts about a week before each midterm, so we can arrange conflict exams. Conflicts with the final need are handled via the official university policy which stipulates (among other things) that you need to tell us of the problem no later than the last day of classes.
