  This year, we covered essentially the same material as last year, so this year's exam will likely be similar to last year's. In the last two weeks of the course, we probably will cover the material on Newton's method needed to answer question 6.

  Read the cover page of last year's exam carefully. The cover page for this year's exam will be similar. The only difference may be the number of pages and the number of questions.

  Recall that this will be a three-hour closed book exam --- no books, no notes, no calculators.
