I'll post each assignment on the website at least one week before the due date. As a general rule, material covered in class on Monday is fair game for the problem set due on Friday.
Homework will be due every Friday in class. If you will not be in class on a due date, you can turn in your homework in advance to my mailbox in the Math Department office, 405 Snow, or to my office, 623 Snow. Your homework should be as neat and legible as if it were typed, and all sheets should be stapled together. Homework turned in late will not be accepted.

Test #1 was given in class on Friday, October 1. The test will cover chapters 1-2 of the book.
Test #2 will be given in class on Friday, November 12. The test will focus on chapter 3 and sections 6.1 and 6.2.
The final exam will be given on Monday, December 13, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM. The exam will focus on material after Test #2 (i.e., Section 6.3 and parts of Chapters 7 and 4), but everything covered throughout the semester is fair game.
