Hi gang,

As I explained in class today, the mid-term exam next Wednesday (Nov.  
4) will be 2 hours.  You can come either from 1-3pm or from 2-4pm,  
whichever your schedule allows.  (Please let me know if you cannot  
make either of those times.)  The location will be announced (I'm  
currently finding a room to reserve).

The exam will cover everything up to and including the conjugate  
gradient algorithm.

You can bring in one 8x11 piece of paper with notes on anything you  
wish, although I don't expect a lot of memorization will be required  
so this is mostly for your peace of mind and as a studying aid (if  
there is a complicated formula or algorithm from class required on  
some part of a problem, I will probably just give it to you on the  
exam).

There is a mid-term from last year posted on the web page, although  
that mid-term in retrospect was way too long and this year's will  
probably be shorter.  (It was 6 questions; probably I should have  
asked only 3-4 of those questions.)
