Exam: written, 6th June 9am – 1pm.

The rules of the game:

·        you will get 5 problems in your exam paper

·        you are allowed to use Munson’s book for your reference

·        you are NOT allowed to use computer, handheld etc during the exam.

Exam preparation materials:

·        Examination topics (pensum)

·        Last year exam problems (2007)

·        Trial exam 2008” problems – 10 problems of similar complexity you’ll meet at the exam.
All Munson’s problems are marked with their numbers, so you can check the answers in the answer sheet.
