December 5: Here's that super long problem from class the other day, and here's the even-longer solution.
Don't forget about the review session this afternoon, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in Denny 216!
December 2: The final is on Saturday, December 6th! 5:00 PM – 7:50 PM, but the room depends on your section:
Math 120C: ARC 147.
Math 120D: GWN 301.
You should check out this list of topics again, and practice some old final exams (they're in the right column). Here's a list of which problems correspond to which chapter to aid your studying, and you should probably also look at the DFEPs again.
I'll be hosting a review session on Friday, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in Denny 216.
November 21: We've got a couple chapters to go still, but here's a list of topics for the final, for studying purposes.

material since the last midterm (so, Chapter 7 onward). Again, you
should:
• Practice old exams here, with the aid of this post.
• Check out the study guide here.
• Practice some DFEPs.
• Come to the review session:

September 30: If
you're still trying to register for the course, here are the first four
homework assignments you can work on before you get WebAssign access.
Note that your versions of the problems (when you eventually get
access) will contain different numbers. #1 #2 #3 #4
September 23: Hey,
welcome to Math 120. You should get yourself
acquainted with the class discussion forum and WebAssign, which are
both linked on the right. Also see if you can access the lecture notes on Google Drive, once they're posted.
