May 20: Thank you all for a good long semester. I wish you guys the best in your future endeavors. I made a harder final than usual, because I'd like to push you a little bit, of course I will take that into account when I grade the finals. I post the solution here, it is easier than it looks. The total grade will be ready by Tuesday. Hope to see many of you at the graduation ceremony. Best wishes, Ha.
