General information on quizzes

There will be four short in-class quizzes (15 minutes) on material from the lectures. These will be about historical mathematicians, their works, and their life. The quizzes can give you bonus points to part A of the exam. The question will usually require one- or two-sentence answers.

I will never require you to learn exact dates or long lists of names. You should, however, know the names of the mathematicians we talked about in class, the contributions we talked about, and know roughly where and when they lived.
