Instructions: This test is closed book and closed notes. Calculators are also allowed, although
preprepared programs, integration and equation solving routines are not. Credit is dependent on
showing all steps in the calculation on this test. Clearly state any assumptions or approximations
you use to solve the problems. (6 problems, 105 pts)
