  Quizzes, 6 @200	1200

  Take a look at your grade. If there seems to a mistake, or if you have any question about what you see, please let me know.

• Class roll: Please look at what the Office of the Registrar says is the finalofficial class roll for the course. If your name does not appear on the roll, you should check with the Registrar's Office to be sure you are correctly registered for the course. I cannot assign you a course grade at the end of the semester if you are not on the official roll.

• Notes: There is a lot of good stuff at the School of Mathematics web site for Math 2401. Take a look.

  I believe you will find it enjoyable and helpful to read Professor Eric Schecter's Common Errors in Mathematics.

  The moving finger writes; and having writ
  Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
  Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
  Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

  I wish you all a good Summer.

A vulgar mechanick can practice what he has been taught or seen done, but if he is in an error he knows not how to find it out and correct it, and if you put him out of his road, he is at a stand; whereas he that is able to reason nimbly and judiciously about figure, force, and motion, is never at rest till he gets every rub.
