[269] HW 3 solutions and Midterm tomorrow.

[Gautam Iyer]

Hi Guys,

HW3 solutions are now online (the problems are not in order, so scroll
through all the way to find the solution of the problem you want).

It will be returned to you during your section. (Some of you didn't have
your section information on the homework. In that case there is a 50%
chance that your homework will go to the wrong section.)

Friendly reminder: Midterm tomorrow in class. (The syllabus etc is on
the previous message I sent you, included below for convenience. The
last thing I covered that will be on your midterm is the fact that
functions with continuous partial derivatives are differentiable. In
particular, material covered last Friday and this Monday will NOT be on
your midterm.)

Best,

Gautam
