1) Logistics
Quiz 2 will take place on Thursday, April 16 from 2:05 to 3:55 PM (i.e., the regularly-scheduled class hours) in Walker Memorial (50-340).
- The quiz covers content from lectures and recitations up to (and including) April 9 and Homework 8.
- The quiz will be administered on paper, so be sure to bring a pencil. (We'll have spare pencils on hand, but probably not enough for everyone.)
- You may use two 8.5"-by-11.0" pages (four sides in total) of handwritten notes.
- To prepare for the quiz, we recommend that you review content from the relevant lectures, recitations, and homework; prepare your sheet of handwritten notes; and take one or more practice quizzes under authentic quiz conditions. (Print out the quiz and take it in a quiet environment where you can focus. Time yourself. Use only your handwritten notes as a reference.)
2) Studying

We will work through Quiz #2 (blank, solutions) from spring 2025 during the recitation on April 14.
We aren't "hiding" old quizzes from you because we're going to put those questions on this year's quiz; rather, we've tried to provide recent quizzes which are most representative of the kinds of problems you might see on this year's quiz. We write new problems for each quiz.
