tenth edition edition). Additional
Materials can be found in the website: http://www.fiu.edu/~lopezdel. When

There will be four examinations
counting 100 points each. I do drop the
lowest of the four examinations. If an
exam is missed for any reason, it will count as your lowest grade and will be
dropped. I DO NOT GIVE MAKEUP EXAMINATIONS. All examinations are given in the
multiple choice format.
