  • Mar 12.  I updated the Mar 05 notes to reflect the comments I made in class.  I updated the Mar 12 notes and augmented the material for TOP 7 Problem 4's perfect competition case.  Please let me know if it's still not clear.  
  • Mar 11. I will go over TOP 7 and exam problems relating to the last third of the course.  This is our last discussion session, and your last chance to email topics you would like me to cover in section. 
  • Mar 4. Discussion notes posted.  I will mention a few things about the midterm and go over TOP 6.  Note that the note also includes TOP 7 problems. 
  • Mar 3. Questions about how course grades are determined should be directed to Professor Foster.  Questions about regrades should be directed to Matt and Chim.  (Matt for short essays and Chim for short problems.)  Here are the summary stat for the midterms.
