Final Exam

• The final exam will be closed book, closed notes. We will supply you with equations we think you need. Most, but not all of the final exam questions will be drawn from this list of Rybicki \&\ Lightman problems. We encourage you to practice solving them on your own (you may consult the solutions in the back during practice, but not during the exam, of course).
