I won't take any questions from exams that have been lined out in the list above.  Specific problems from other exams have also been ruled out.  There were a lot of questions on the 2009 Final Exam (from the 1st time I taught this course) that I liked so it is likely that a question or two (or at least very similar questions) will come from that exam. 


The format of this semester's Final Exam will probably be the same as that of the Midterm Exam.  There'll be a first question that everyone should answer.  The first question will actually consist of several questions for you to answer with short written descriptions or illustrations.  You had to answer 3 questions like this on the midterm.  I may ask you to answer an additional question or two on the final.  Some of the course material we have covered recently lends itself better to this style of question.

Then you'll need to work 3 or 4 problems depending on whether you're an undergrad or a grad student.

Basically you'll have a little more time during the Final Exam to do roughly the same amount of work as you had on the Midterm Exam.
