You should make sure you are viewing the most current version of this page and not the version in your browser's cache; reload the page from source. Dates indicate homework assigned in lecture that day. Dates for future assignments are tentative, and subject to change. (However, it will be similar to the homework posted here.)
Skimming through the main ideas in a section shortly before that section is covered in class should help you understand the lecture -- try it!


Also, see the links to practice quizzes/tests on my website.

though perhaps with different wording or using pictures.
