11/8: I corrected a typo in the Practice-quiz5, problem 4. (It was correct on the solution sheet).
10/21 (7pm): I made some corrections to the practice-quiz-4 solution: I had wrongly
written the solution under the assumption that the plot was of f(x), not of f'(x),
as stated.
I now have solutions for both cases.
I will not be in the office on Wed, Oct 21, in order to minimize infection of other people (I am sick).
Please email me with questions and I will do my best to answer.
Our TA is Adam Falk (afalk@ams.sunysb.edu). Office hours: 1:00-2:00 (Mon),
12:00-1:00 (Thurs), in Harriman 010.
