What's due August 30?

Congrats!  You found the algebra blog!

On Friday, we'll have a quiz on the syllabus, which you can find in a link off on that side ---->.

The first question on that quiz will be "How much does this syllabus quiz count toward your final grade?"

We'll continue working on the yellow "0" sheet in class on Friday, so you don't have to finish it outside of class, but you might find it helpful to fill in the multiplication tables for Z_{12} and Z_{11}.
