Hi everyone!

To enable you to study for the MIDTERM on Thursday (Oct 2, in class period)
there is no homework this week.  All office hours and discussion sections
are as normal, except we will attempt to move Thursday's office hours
to Wednesday (an email will be sent if/when we succeed).  
Thus: homework 5 DOES NOT EXIST :-)  The next one will be homework 6, 
to keep assignment numbers in sync with the week in which they appear. 

Midterm 1 will cover the material from Homeworks 1-4, Lectures 1A-5B, 
and Discussions 1-5. 

If you would like to try a PRACTICE EXAM, you can find last year's first 
midterm in this folder.  The solution is in the secure folder, but as always,
it is best to try the problems BEFORE looking at the solutions. The formula 
sheets that will be provided are in the top-level folder: 
	Formulae-1Dmath, -3Dmath, and -Midterm1.

Finally, do read the exam instructions on page 1 of last year's midterm 
as they will be the same this year. Note in particular two items that are 
also mentioned in our INFO-general file: (a) NO CALCULATORS are allowed 
during any exams, and (b) the midterm will run a FULL 90 MINUTES, 
i.e. it will eat up both class time and the 10-minute break after class. 
If you have a class or other appointment right after lecture period, 
I will give you a signed note at the exam that you can give to your other 
instructor to explain your lateness. 

Cheers! Naomi

P.S. I am often asked HOW MANY QUESTIONS WILL BE ON THE EXAM? Answer:
irrelevant, only time matters. There will be as many questions as I can
do at full speed in 90 min / k, where k is a real number between pi and 4.
