Assignment :

Read Chapter 6 by Monday, Start Homework 8

New Fortran:

none

What to study for the exam? Start by looking below. If you understand, all listed commands and concepts, you will be in very good shape. I will not ask any questions on Fortran statements not listed here (not much comfort there), nor will I question you on Unix commands not listed here. There are other related issues which are important, such as relative speed of commands, that you should pick up from the class notes.

I have constructed the exam based, entirely on the lists below, and the basic Web notes, and examples on the Web. I have not included questions based on any material in the text not covered in the class notes. I have not included questions from special Web notes, such as the statement definition pages or material on historical figures in the development of computing.

As you review previous exams. Remember that the class was not structured in the same way that it is this year.
