Final Exam: The time and place are now finalized. The Final Exam will be written in BSB-242 (in the Computer Lab) on 1998-12-07 (Monday) from 9:00 to 13:00. I will invigilate and I will have an assistant to fetch your printouts for you.
Special Exam Office Hours: Saturday 5 December, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Printing at the Final Exam: You will each be given a special computer lab userid to use while writing the exam. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics will pay for all printing on these accounts.
"Running Splus at McMaster": Now explains how to print PostScript files with GhostScript in the BSB Windows lab, how to get a free copy of GhostScript for your own PC, how to use the vi editor, and how to set up and manage your work in "S chapters".
Splus Upgrade: Splus on stats has been upgraded from Version 5.0 Release 1 to Version 5.0 Release 2. You might not notice any difference, however, some operations are now 10 or 20 times faster than they were with Release 1.
Remove your corrected copy of stars()!!! The bug in stars() in Splus Version 5.0 Release 1 has been fixed in Release 2 so you no longer need to use your corrected copy. In fact, the corrected stars() that you used in Assignment #1 probably won't work at all now so you should go into the S chapter it is stored in and remove it with the command rm(stars).

If you have concerns about preparing for tests and examinations, improving your study habits, giving class presentations, or mastering English as a second language, the Centre for Student Development can help.
