Homework and Quizzes
Truly, the only way to learn mathematics is by doing problems. The
homework is your chance to do this. I will assign problems to go with
every section of the text. I will put the problems on the board at the
beginning of each lecture and you can also find them by clicking on the
section number in the course calendar below and looking in the
"Description" field.
You will have quizzes at the beginning of class evey Thursday in your
recitation section. The quiz will be timed to ten minutes, and the
problems will be taken from the previous week's homework. The problems
on the quiz will be taken directly from the homework problems, so if you
know how to do all the homework problems, you should do well on the
quiz.
