Midterm 2

Friday 11/12 in class (Centr 101, 2-2:50pm)

Exam statistics: median = 76, average = 71.5, passing ≥ 60
Solutions: blue | green | pink | yellow
  • covers Sections 14.1 - 14.8
    • skip "least squares method" (done in class at the beginning of the 11/05 lecture) and "Lagrange multipliers with multiple constraints" (example 4, page 864 from 14.8)
  • no notes, no books, no calculators
  • review: 11/08 and 11/10 in class
  • study guide: the fact that no definitions and formulas are spelled out for you in the concept review is intentional. The best way to learn is to go through the notes yourselves and extract them.
  • answers to the practice problems (except the ones from the textbook; those you have to look up in the book!)
    updated Thursday 11/11/2010 (corrected a couple of typos)

You should try to do HW4 before the test, since it consists of material that will be on the exam.
