MATH 4321 INFORMATION SHEET FOR QUIZ SPRING 2017
The Quiz will be in class on Thurs Feb 9; it will last 15 minutes and is worth 0% of your course grade.
The relevant sections for the quiz are Sections 18-22 only. The homework for that material is posted online.
See my website for my office hours and the GTA's office hours.
You should learn definitions such as ring, subring, division ring, field, unit, zero divisor, integral domain, homomorphism, isomorphism. You should be ready to present examples like those occurring in the homework, and be able to show that a subset of a ring is a subring. Moreover, any question in the homework is game for the test.
No calculators are allowed; no notes are allowed; no phones, no tablets, no electronic devices. You will need to put your belongings (including cell phones and tablets) by the side walls and possibly move seats in order to spread out in the room (if there are enough chairs & tables) - noncompliance will result in a score of 0 on the test.
Bring some form of photo ID.
Try to keep your eyes on your own work during the quiz.
If you finish the quiz early, hold on to it. We will discuss it in class once the 15 minutes have elapsed.
