First Exam

The first 211 exam will be given in class, Thursday, 2 October. For practice and familiarizing yourself with the format, here is last year's exam and its solution (note that not every question is answered... if you are unsure about something, ask on the DBoard or see a TA). Also, everyone is allowed to bring one 8.5x11" piece of paper (front and back) with whatever notes you want on it. You must write your own notes, but are free to discuss what is worth putting on the sheet with classmates.
