One final down today

[deathstalkeriam]

Another to go today.

Think I aced it, excluding one question, and one problem's answer I was unsure of. (Matlab said it was right... but it didn't 'feel' right.)

Hope I'm awake enough for the other final, because I'm just really tired right now.

Darth Precision Error: "Search your feelings, Luke... 4.99904 is equal to 5! You know this to be true!"

I know way too many people who just trust what the computer tells them without bothering to check. If Matlab says it's right but you think it's wrong, look at the assumptions the code may be making. Also check units.

That said, good luck!

At that point I was too tired of it to go back through and redo it.

Admittedly this feeling was based on me eyeballing the graph of a function, for which I wanted the integral. (If it *was* off It wasn't off by that much.) Plus, I had redone it once. (Did find a minor mistake.)
