On each day, each student may bring one 8 ½ x 11” formula sheet, hand written, using both sides. The formula sheets will be collected with the completed exam booklets. The formula sheet is the only material to which students can refer during the exams.Simple calculators are permitted. However, the use of calculators for storing and/or recovering formulas or constants is NOT permitted.
Classes begin on Tuesday, January 21, 2014
