Midterm review and important

-          You have to answer two questions out of three.

-          Each question has a and b part. a part is math problem and b part is theory question.

-          Math problems will be straight forward like class lecture, only numbers will be changed.

-          Theory questions will be short answered and direct question based on class lecture.

Syllabus for midterm: Lecture 1 to Lecture 6
