Professor: L. Carichino
• Final Exam is on Monday May 5th , 4:15-6:45pm EST in GOS 1250.
• Bring your ID the day of the final exam.
• The Final Exam will be comprehensive of all the material covered in class. At least
50% of the Final Exam will be on Laplace Transforms.
• All the WeBWorK, in-class Quizzes and recitation worksheets problems are representa-
tive exam problems. Solutions are posted on online.
• The following problems are representative of the problems on the exam, to give you
an idea of the setup, format and type of questions.
• The solution of the following problems will be posted online the week before the final.
• Material not on these practice problems may be on the Exam (i.e. these
practice problems do not include all material).
• Review Sessions:
