Notes

• For problems requiring integration, first write the appropriate integral and then use the numeric integration feature of your calculator to approximate the value.
• There is a take home exam worth 40 points. It is due the day of the regular exam.
• There is a page to help with the LORAN-C problem on the take home.
• There are 104 possible points, which means that you can miss 4 points without hurting your grade.
• Bring a printed copy of your technology project with you if you would like to use it on the exam.
