Midterm 2010 Information The Midterm examinations will be provisionally be held during the evening (7:00 - 8:30 pm) on March 4 and March 23. If you have any special needs that must be accommodated please self-

identify to the course coordinator.

The first midterm will be multiple choice format.

The second midterm examination shall consist of three problems similar to those encountered

in the tutorials.
