Note: The sample midterm is (partly) last semester's first midterm. Do not assume that if a certain kind of question does NOT appear in the sample midterm, that it will not appear in the actual midterm. Homeworks should also serve as a guide to the kind of questions that can appear in the midterm. Also, the length of the sample midterm may not be exactly the same as that of the real midterm.

Thursday March 1, 6-7:30 PM.

You may bring one 8"x11.5" (standard size) paper, written/typed/printed on both sides, filled with notes (this is your "reminder" sheet, formerly known as a "cheat sheet"---we don't want to encourage cheating :) ). You may not use devices such as a magnifying glass with your sheet (one time, a student photocopied and shrunk the entire book on one page--we don't want you to do this).
You may copy parts or all of the Proof Rules/Equivalence sheet onto your cheat sheet. You may NOT use this as a second cheat sheet. There has been one additional proof rule added: <-> equivalence (it's basically Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens for <->), which you can use.
