Exams
- Midterm exam and midterm exam solutions by Zilong Song
- Final exam and final exam solutions by Zilong Song - The professor made a typo in Question 8 of his solution: The 1/2 term in the expression of u(r,t) should actually be a 1, which means u(2,1)=1 and u(2,2)=5/4.
Update (June 7): Your final exam on June 9 will be a take-home exam. Please complete the exam by yourself, and do not consult your classmates. The professor has announced that collaboration with classmates is prohibited and will result in an automatic course grade of D for all parties involved. If I detect any evidence of collaboration while I am grading the final exams, I will report it to the professor. Please do not cheat on the final exam. Also, if you decide to use my solutions to help you with an exam question, please write your exam solution in your own words, just in case another student may have also copied from my solutions. You do not want the professor to think you collaborated with another student because the two of you independently copied the wording of my solutions.
