Midterm Study Sheet

Here is the list of terms you should be familiar with for the midterm exam. This is not an exhaustive list (i.e. there are concepts we've studied that aren't on the list, but these the major ones), and some of these we won't be able to cover until Friday's class.

I will email/post more information once I figure out a room and a time for tomorrow's review session.
