This website has not been updated recently due to problems with my phone service. My phone service has been restored (I hope) on one line. If it's still working by this evening, Assignment 3 will be posted then. If not, please start looking at the tutorials and practice problems for last semester's Assignment 2 (that's 2, not 3). This semester's Assignment 3 will have the same tutorials (minus portions that were moved to this semester's Assignment 2) and the same practice problems, though the assigned problems themselves will be different.
Quiz 2 will cover material in this semester's Assignments 2 and 3. If a full-fledged study guide is not yet available when you wish to begin studying, please prepare by studying the tutorials for this semesters Assignments 2 and 3 (or this semester's Assignment 2 and last semester's Assignment 2, if this semester's Assignment 3 is not yet available) and start working on the practice problems.
Note that this semester's Assignment 3, like last semester's Assignment 2, will contain both (1) actual assigned problems, to be handed in, and (2) practice problems, NOT to be handed in, which are intended just to help you prepare for the quiz. Answers to most of the practice problems will be provided on the website.
