xiv Preface
In order to be excused from an exam, the student must contact me before the exam. If you cannot
reach me, leave a message with the department secretaries at 392-0153. In most cases I will require
students to provide me with additional documentation to justify why the student is unable to take the exam.
Please note that a simple note indicating that you were seen at the health center the day of the exam does
not, in and of itself, provide sufficient documentation. Excuses will be granted if the student is unable to
take the exam because of serious illness or injury, or a significant personal or professional commitment.
Excuses will not be granted for social activities such as ski trips, cruises, and trips to sporting events (unless
you are participating).
The exams will all be multiple choice. Each will have 10 conceptual questions and 10 numerical problems,
for a total of 20 questions.

Answers to End-of-Chapter Problems
We present here some intermediate steps and final answers to end–of-chapter problems. Please note that
your answer may differ slightly from ours due to rounding differences. Also, although we hope not, some of
the problems may have more than one correct solution, depending on what assumptions are made in
working the problem. Finally, many of the problems involve some verbal discussion as well as numerical
calculations; this verbal material is not presented here.
