Signature_________________________________
(I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this test.)

Aids Allowed; Items Needed
Closed book. Three handwritten pages, front and back, of formulas, definitions, diagrams, etc., are allowed.
Tables or graphs that might be needed are given. Bring paper, full 8.5 × 11 inch size, calculator, and straightedge. Instructions (Points may be deducted for failure to follow instructions.)
• Work on one side of paper only. Paper must be full 8.5 × 11 inch size.
• For each major problem, 1, 2, 3, etc., start work on the question page where space permits, and continue on additional pages of your own paper as needed, with these additional pages inserted behind the corresponding question page. Do not combine work for more than one problem on any page of your own paper.
• To hand in your work, staple everything together in order by problem number. Keep your formula pages.
• Clarifications or other information may be written on the blackboard -- check it before handing in your paper.
• Logic and calculations leading to all answers must be given, and any points or lines used from graphs must be marked and labeled.
• For discussion or explanation type questions, answers need to be in complete sentences and in reasonably good
English, and the logic must be clear.
• Numerical answers should have neither insufficient nor excessive numbers of significant figures, and correct units are required for full credit.
