The Final Exam will be cumulative; it will cover all topics of exams 1,2,3,4 and also the material of the last lectures. The exam will consist of two parts. Part 1: multiple choice questions. You are supposed to answer all of them. Part 2: several more difficult problems will be offered. You will have to choose several of these problems (say 6 from 8, this will be specified), and write solutions showing details. No extra credit for solving more problems then required.
