The instructor must be notified before the exam is given. Call the instructor's office (480-965-2254) or the Mathematics Department Office (480-965-3951) and leave a message. Calculators: A graphing calculator is required. A TI–83, TI -84 plus, or a TI-86 is recommended. An internet and mail account is required for all students. TI-89s and TI-92s cannot be used in class or during exams. MATLAB Labs: We will use Matlab for computer exercises. It is installed on the computers in the math labs in ECA 221 and 225, as well as on all machines in the Computing Commons and elsewhere. Instructions on how to download Matlab on your computer: Go to this website: https://citrix.asu.edu Down load the proper Client version for your system. Log in with your asurite and password.
