Name:_____________________
Instructor: Dr. Olga Vasilyeva
You have 4 hours to complete and submit the test
(by 1pm, Thursday, April 22)
You can use your own lecture notes only; any other sources
are not permitted
Absolutely no collaboration is allowed (if there is an
evidence of copying or using online resources, double
points will be deducted).
To receive full credit you must write your answers in the
space provided, perform all of the steps, and submit the
exam as a single pdf file with all the pages in the original
order.
