Prospective honors students should also read about mathematical extensions related to nontransitive dice.

M 6/3/02

Final exam, Trapier Theater, 8:00 a.m. sharp. Bring pencils and calculator for full credit. After a vote of the geometry teachers, it was decided that formula cards will not be allowed. However, the only sections that make heavy use of formulas are the "Half SAD" sections, Power Theorems, area, and volume. Altogether there are only about 2 dozen formulas you need to know. If someone would like to create an HTML file containing the relevant formulas, I will post that file here for reference.

Straightedge and compass are optional. There is 1 bonus point possible if you bring spare batteries or a solar-powered calculator. Graph paper (if necessary) and scratch paper will be provided for you.
