Comprehensive
Final |
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.
