| READING FOR MIDTERM EXAM: To work for the exam, you should be working on those problems at the end of the chapters that correspond to the lecture matieral. One good way to find problems is to buy used books on quantitative analysis from places like amazon.com. Old editions of these books would be perfectly acceptable. I am just as likely to model problems from old textbooks as I am from your recommended textbook. |
