You may bring 1-sheet that includes proof templates only -- No examples, definitions, etc.  This template sheet will be turned in with the exam -- if there is any unallowed material, it will be considered cheating and appropriate action taken.  If in doubt, ask me prior to the exam.  You may also bring a calculator, but be forewarned that I may clear the memory.  I will bring extra calculators.
