FINAL EXAM:
Problem 5 parts (d) and (e) should read:
d.) ... overlaps the m = 2 order of the l = 1 mm component?
e.) ... between the wavelength found in (d) and l = 1 mm ...
***************************************************

FINAL EXAM:
Problem 3 has a missing j in the exponent of the point source field.
***************************************************
4/28/05
The final exam will be a 48-hour take-home exam. You will be
able to pick up the exam from room 642 starting at 4:00 pm on
Friday, May 6. If you choose to work the exam over the weekend,
you must drop it off under my office door (room 640) by 5:00 pm
on Sunday evening, May 8. The last time to pick up the exam is
5:00 pm on Wednesday, May 11. You can
use any reference material you like, except another person.
***************************************************

EXAM 2 REWORK: You can rework missed problems from
Exam 2 and turn them in to me for partial credit. The procedure
is to completely rework each missed problem, showing all of your
work. Then, turn in the reworked problems with your original
exam to me by class time on Tuesday, May 3. If the problem is
reworked correctly, you will receive credit for half of the missed
points.
***************************************************
Test 2 Results:
AVG = 66.9
STD = 16.4

***************************************************
4/08/05
For Exam 2, you can use two pages of notes for the otherwise
closed-book exam. Use only one side of each page.
***************************************************
4/06/05
Exam 2 will be given on April 19. It will be an in-class exam
covering Sections 8-13 and part of Section 7.
***************************************************
3/10/05
If you scored lower than 80% on Test 1, I will give
you the opportunity for some extra credit. If interested, please
write me an email.

REMINDER: Test 1 will be given this Thursday in class. It will cover
Sections 1-7, through Slide 7-13 (Scanning FP). You can bring
one page of notes on a regular paper, single side.
***************************************************
Please see the update to slide 3B-9 as shown below:

I will be on travel Feb 28-March4, so see me next week (Feb 21-
25) if you have any questions before the test.
***************************************************
02/04/05
The old notes have been removed from Chapter 5.
***************************************************
02/04/05 You can
check out HW solutions in Pat Gransie's office (Room 642) the
day after you turn in the HW sets. You should copy the solutions
and return the originals to Pat's office within one hour.
***************************************************
02/2/05b
I am sorry, but I accidentally put older notes in Chapter 5. The
older notes are labeled with 'Part A'. The newer notes are now
posted correctly.
***************************************************
HW 1 typos: (If you downloaded the HW before 1/15/05)
1.) cyl(x) is the same as circ(x)
2.) In problem 4c, it should read:
