The note indicates the location where the reading assignment ends. In most cases, the relevant section is assigned again later in the class; the section reading resumes at the earlier stopping place. ** In this case, page 312 is an additional page to read in Chapter 10 in addition to sections 1 and 2. Also, in section 9.4, your reading stops at the bottom of page 285. *** Read the introduction and "Tension in one dimension" on Wikipedia's Tension page + Read the introduction to Wikipedia's Differential Equations page ++ Read the introduction and Definition on Wikipedia's Taylor Series webpage FINAL EXAM (30 Numerical Questions) MW 3:05 class -- FRI Apr 30 2:30- 4:20 PM
