You may bring one 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper with formulas and information which you have written or typed on both sides (but not reduced photocopies of problem sets, notes, or midterm review summary sheet).
You should also bring your calculator to do arithmetic.
I will provide plain white paper, but you may use your own blank lined paper if you wish.
