The exam is six hours, from 9.00-15.00. It consists of five problems. Some important relations may be given in the problem text. You are allowed to bring a calculator (even though I doubt that you will need it), Physics handbook, Beta - Mathematical handbook. The style of the problems will be similar to the ones in the previous exams. Some of the problems may include elements treated in some of the assignments.
