Instructions
This quiz is good for 1 hour. 

Each question will be flashed one at a time. After answering a question, it will be locked. You cannot go

For multiple choice type of questions, choose the best answer.

For the fill-in-the-blank type of questions, clues are given at the end of the sentence enclosed in a
parenthesis. As usual, wrong spelling wrong.

For the problem solving type of questions, round-off your final answer to 4 decimal places. Do not round-
off intermediate values. 

Please avoid cheating. Anyone caught cheating will automatically get a zero in this exam. Cheating
includes but not limited to sharing or asking answers to your classmate, using the internet to search for
answers, and using other references such as handouts, books, pdfs, etc. while taking the exam.
