Here are some details on the exam:
  - Its day, time, and location are in the "Final Exam" block at the
    bottom of the syllabus.
  - It's comprehensive, with emphasis on sections 7.3-7.5 and chapters
    8 and 9. (It won't cover book sections I didn't discuss in
    lecture.)
  - It's closed book.
  - You may bring three sheets of notes (8.5" by 11"), each with
    writing on both sides. I recommend writing on my posted formula
    sheets, the last of which is in the "Final Exam" block of the
    syllabus.
  - It requires a calculator.
  - I'll provide tables, which are the same as the exam 2 tables
    (posted in the week 12 line of the syllabus).
  - It's multiple choice.
  - I won't ask you to solve huge calculating problems. One way I can
    test these kinds of problems is to do what I sometimes do in
    lecture: solve the problem with software myself, and then display
    the output with some holes that we figure out by hand (with a
    calculator).
  - There isn't a sample final exam.

Here are some studying steps I recommend:
  - Solve the homework and quiz problems as they're assigned.
    (Include the 9.5 homework and Quiz 9, even though they won't earn
    you points directly.)
  - Read the formula sheet. Figure out any formula you don't
    understand by studying the lecture notes or book. Add
    notes to the formula sheet as needed. (Some students add
    a few worked examples.)
  - Review the lecture notes.
  - Solve additional odd problems from the book, checking
    your answers in the back.
  - Redo old quizzes. (Adding low scores to your quiz record
    doesn't change your high score, which is already recorded
    in Learn@UW.)
