Exams: There will be two exams (30 points each) and a final (40 points).

These dates do not coincide with any religious holiday which causes suspension of New York City's alternate side parking regulations; see NYC Parking Calendar. Please discuss other conflicts with me well in advance of the exam in question.

Midterm 2 will be modeled after last year's midterm 2, with the addition of one question on the computation of linking numbers. Students who master the following practice materials will be in great shape: The final will consist of questions on 3-colorability, and questions on computing Jones polynomials. Students who master the following practice materials will be in great shape: Note: Many variations of the practice midterms have been posted. It is not necessary to work all of these variations to master this material.
