Project:
The Population Lab 05
Practice
Gateway Exam (with solutions)
6 Review Sheets for
the Final Exam (with 12 pages of brief solutions
by Chester Miracle and 28 pages of more detailed solutions by Tyler Whitehouse)
FINAL EXAM: 1:30 - 4:30
pm Monday, May 9, Anderson Hall 310 (West
Bank)
"All students
must have their official University I.D. Card with them
at the time of the final exam and must show it to one of the
proctors when handing in
their exam. The proctor will NOT accept a final exam from a student
without an I.D. Card."
Some examples:
Spreadsheet implementations
of Euler's method (with an example showing that roundoff
error becomes significant when stepsize is too small)
Graphs of
some Taylor polynomial approximations of sin(x), -4 < x < 4.
Note that the Taylor polynomial T_19(x) is such a good
approximation that the graphs can't be distinguished in the interval -4
< x < 4.
