Location and Time:
The final examination for this course will be held on Saturday, December 19, 9-11, in MCS B31 (our usual classroom). This is the time that the University has scheduled for our final, and all students must take the final as scheduled. Please bring your BU ids and a pen or pencil. You will not be able to refer to any books or other papers. You may use a calculator.

Course Material:

• Chapter 1: All sections except Section 1.9
• Chapter 2: All sections except Section 2.5

All supplementary material discussed in class, e.g., Picard iteration and the matrix exponential, will also be covered.

Picking Up Your Third Exam and Getting Help:
I will hold office hours on Monday, December 14, 11-12, and on Friday, December 18, 11-12. My office is MCS 255. You will be able to pick up your third exam and your project at those office hours.

Course Grades:
Your course grade will be computed according to the revised grading scheme that was given on the Secpter 28 version of the syllabus. That scheme already makes an allowance for one bad exam. No factors other than your performance on the exams, your projects, and your homework are considered when I compute your overall course grade.

I try to be especially careful when I compute your grade, but if you think that I have made a mistake in the computation, then you can check with me AFTER the holidays. If you would like to see how you did on the final, come by my office hours next semester.

Good luck during finals and have a pleasant holiday season.
