Instruction
No items other than pen, pencil, eraser and your id are allowed. You must leave all of your
belongings that are not allowed at the designated area in the front of the classroom.
Before you start, fill out the identification section on the title page and on the header of each page
with an inerasable pen.
Show your work for full credit and write the final answer to each problem in the box provided.
You are encouraged to write in English but some Korean is acceptable. You can use the back of
each page as scratch spaces but anything written there will not be graded.
The exam is for three hours. Ask permission by raising your hand if you have any question or need
to go to toilet. You are not allowed to go to toilet for the first 1 hour and the last 30 minutes. No
one can leave the room in the last 10 minutes.
Any attempt to cheat or a failure to follow this instruction lead to serious disciplinary actions not
limited to failing the exam or the course.

Do not write in this table.
