Ungraded HW #7 (12/12/2024)

Old ENGR 695 Final Exam (12/11/2024)

A copy of the ENGR 695 Final Exam from Spring 2021 with solutions is now available at the course Moodle site in the section labeled "Exams From Past Offerings of ENGR 695."

Note that the topic coverage on exams from previous years could differ from that of this year's exams. If you encounter a problem that seems to involve skills or knowledge that we have not covered this semester or that we covered earlier, that is the likely reason.

There are no problems involving Laplace's equation on the Spring 2021 exam; however, a set of practice homework problems focused on that topic will be posted soon.
