PHY 2060
Final Exam — Spring 2007
The final exam will take place in NPB 1002 from 10:00 a.m. to noon on Thursday, May 3. Please try to arrive by 9:55 a.m. You should bring writing implements, and you may use an electronic calculator and as many as four formula sheets. No other papers or electronic devices may be used during the exam.
The exam will consist of 10 questions in a format similar to the mid-term exams (see the exams page). The questions may address any of the topics covered in class throughout the semester. Four or five questions will focus on material covered since the third exam. These topics are listed below, along with the most closely related sections of the text.
