Final Exam
Date: Thursday, December 12
Time: 10:10AM -- 12:10PM
Place: We will use our normal classroom.
I am providing a few practice exams. Please note that the content will have significant overlap with the topics we studied in class. However, they may also include topics which we did not consider. Practice Exams:
Exam1,
Exam2,
Exam3.
Here are selected
solutions to the practice exams. Beware! My solutions have not been carefully checked and there are problems with the questions on Exam2 -- but the flavor of the questions is still good.
The exam will have one question asking you to compose an executive summary. The problem of interest is Modeling Problem 19 (page 146 of the text). The solution will be provided on the exam, but you may wish to solve the problem and think about the solution before the exam.
