Welcome.

Your final is 9:15 am on Tuesday, May 20, 2003
The exam locations: Harvard 201 (N-Z) Harvard 202 (A-M) .
We anticipate about half of the final to be on differential equations with the remainder divided between series and integration.

Solutions to problem sets 30, 31 and 33 have been corrected and revisions are posted on the homework page.

A Coursewide Reivew on Differential Equations will be held from 2:30 - 4:30 in SC E on Tuesday May 13. This will be taped and the tape will be in Cabot.


The CAs will be holding review sessions as follows:

Integration Review - Friday 5/9, 2 - 3:30pm, SC Hall C

Series Review - Sunday 5/11, 4 - 5:30pm, SC Hall C

Differntial Equations Review - Monday 5/12, 4 - 5:30pm, SC Hall C



Below is a list of office hours for the month of May. Below this you will find the dates and places of each class' reading period review classes.
