Final Quiz (50 pts.)

	Instructions: No copying, paraphrasing, or collaborating permitted. This is a straightforward quiz (no trick questions), but you must write honestly and from the heart. No baloney! If you don’t know something, leave it out rather than trying to fake your way through with baloney. Mathematics, as you know, is the world’s only 100% baloney-free zone, with the possible exception of chess. Spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar all count. Complete sentences are required. Open notes, open book, even open Web are all OK, but the sentences you write must be your own. Write your initials here _____ to acknowledge that you understand these rules, especially those regarding copying, paraphrasing, and collaborating.
1.	Describe, in your own words, the purpose(s) of the course. Offer examples if you can. Use enough correct terminology that I can tell that you really know what you are talking about and are not simply blowing empty words around. Target length: 2 paragraphs, with several sentences in each.
2.	What is meant by chaos, in the mathematical sense? Target length: 2 to 3 sentences.
3.	Describe the following 5 terms, weaving a coherent paragraph (approximately 4 to 8 sentences) that incorporates all of the terms, in any order that you wish: differential equation, general solution to a differential equation, particular solution, slope field, Euler’s Method. Assume that the reader already knows what a derivative and a linear approximation are.
