Final grades have been posted at my.math. Thanks for being a great class, and have a happy holiday break!



Note that the final exam for this class takes place Friday, 16 December, 8-10 AM. Though you will have two hours to do it if you like, it will be written as a one-hour exam. Expect roughly 75% of it to be on Matlab and Maple, and the rest to cover the first half of the semester. As always, it will use open notes.
