Please note:
1) Project #4 is currently due during the last week before finals.
2) Students must take the final exam at the scheduled date and time. 
3) I use MathType (http://www.mathtype.com; made by Decision Science) to type all of my equations into Word.  If you do not have this software installed on your computer, my equations may not look correct at times (e.g., a hat symbol may not appear).  In order to view these documents correctly, you will need to download Mathtype's fonts from its website.  On its website, there are "Free Downloads" located in the lower right hand side of the Decision Science homepage.  Select "Font installers" from this list.  Next, select "Download MathType for Windows Fonts" (you do not need to type in your e-mail address) to go to the download web page.  Save only the MathTypeTrueTypeFonts.exe to your computer.  Run the program by using all of the default settings to install the fonts.  Note that you may need to close Word or other programs first before running the font installer.
