'''Question format:''' * questions begin with a qualitative/descriptive component, then lead into applications. * Because it is closed book, and only 2 hours, questions will generally involve quite a bit of "scaffolding", that is, you won't be asked to reproduced a large proof, but rather to work your way through one or two problems, in several parts. * To avoid early "sudden death", some key steps will be of the form: "show that ..." with the equation given. If you get snagged on a some part of the problem, you should be able to carry on in the next sub-question. * It will be assumed you are ''very'' familiar with chapters 2,3. * For applications, focus on chapters 4,6,7,8,9. Problems could be closely related to an assignment question you have done, to other problems in the notes, or to an example we discussed in lectures but didn't go into in detail.
