The Syllabus. The material of the quizzes will always be the homework up to the homework due the Friday before the quiz, as well as the material covered in class up to the class on Wednesday before the quiz. If the homework is too difficult at first, go through the problems we did in class, and then try a few Self-test problems (in the end of each chapter). These problems have full solutions in the back of the book.
