Math 215 Spring 2008 Term

 

Announcements

6/12/08 Here's the take home quiz. Due on friday at the start of class.

6/10/08 Unfortunately I can't make it to class today due to illness. I should be well enough tomorrow to run the test as planned.

Topics for the test are as discussed in class yesterday: from chapter 6 sections 6.1-6.6, and chapter 7: 7.1-7.3 with 7.4 as extra credit. You can have a notecard (2 sided) and your calculator of course.

If you're in both my classes email me if you wish to arrange an alternate day for one of the tests.

See you tomorrow,

John
