Name: Section:

Answer all questions on the test pages that you are given. In order to receive partial credit, you must give sucient detail to allow us to follow your procedure. Computational errors will be partially forgiven if they can be obviously documented. We grade according to what is written on your test paper, not by what you meant to say. If you write at the back of a page, please indicate so. No calculators, books or notes are permitted. Show all work on these pages and turn in only these pages. Eulers identities, in case you need them: cos(x) =
