ANSWERS TO QUIZ

Midterm exam: Mon Oct 26.
The final exam will be Wed Dec 23 at noon. This date is not our choice; it was chosen by the College. The final exam will cover everything we did AFTER the midterm exam, with emphasis on the subjects covered in the homework. It's essential that you do the homework and read the relevant sections of my notes and the textbook.
The final exam will cover:

1. Text Chapters 3, 5.4, 8.1, 9.1, and
2. Notes on Linear Systems of Equations (see above)


Class attendance is required . Attendance will be taken occasionally. If you must miss class, you must email me in advance with some kind of explanation. Thanks.
