Remember that the mark you have been given is out of 80! (7 Dec 01)
- Tables for the exam:
- The tables which will be available to you in the exam
have been scanned. However, some of them (Tables C.2 and

is a direct copy of what is in the appendix of the book.
The tables are available in pdf form.
(5 Dec 01).

will be available for pick up in the next few days.

- Answers to second midterm:
-
The answers to the second midterm are now
available in pdf form.
Please note that "height" of the impulses in the magnitude
plot in question 2 should be pi not 1/2.
If you found these questions difficult, I suggest that you
try some of them again in your preparation for the final
exam (30 Nov 01, updated 3 Dec 01)
