office: MSB 426
office hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday -- 11:05am - 1:00pm (to confirm time, send me email before coming)

HW: read the assigned sections, including examples, and do the suggested exercises. Ask questions in class. The final exam can replace up to two chapter tests (when the final grade is computed, the lowest scores are not included).

The textbook HW is not graded, but the tests will be based on these problems.
