Notes:

  • Midterm I does cover the material from Week 06
  • Unit 01 - Essential problems
    • Focus your exam study on mastery of these first, then move to everything else.
    • This list is not an indicator about what will be on the exam. Everything in the Notes is fair game. But it is a good idea to make sure you completely master these problems before you study material that is less central and fundamental.
