The midterm on May 8 will be closed book, no notes. It will cover the material through section 3.3 of the textbook.

The first quiz will be Thursday, April 13 in the recitation. There will be a quiz every Thursday from then on, except as noted here.

There will be one in-class midterm, on Monday May 8.

The quizzes will be given in the recitation sections every Thursday beginning April 13, and will be very closely based on the homework problems. The lowest quiz score will be dropped.
