We will try to follow this schedule. Please read the section and
try the homework before the class for which the section is scheduled
and come prepared with a list of questions you encountered while doing
so. These will form the basis for our work in class.
Quizzes will be very brief and will be modeled closely on the reading
and homework. Exams will last one half hour, with 15-20 minutes for
any remaining questions beforehand. No calculators are allowed on
either quizzes or exams.
