Instructions for midterm exam

These are the instructions which will be on the midterm exam on Thursday, July 13. There are eight questions on this exam. They are each weighted equally. You will have two hours and ten minutes to complete the exam. No calculators are allowed. You may have one 8.5-by-11-inch sheet of notes (you may use both sides) which is handwritten and which you have prepared yourself. Please write all your solutions in the exam booklet which has been provided. No credit will be given for solutions written on this page. Please show the intermediate steps leading to your answer; only partial credit will be awarded for unjustified answers. Partial credit will also be awarded for partial solutions, so if you think you have some idea how to do a problem, write it down, even if you cannot complete the problem.
