The material for the quiz, as I announced long ago, includes everything up
to and including Dirichlet's theorem, and exercises done using Dirichlet's
theorem. So, if you look at Allan Pinkus' and Samy Zafrany's book, the
required part is the material up to and including section 4 of Chapter 2,
in other words, up to, and including Exercise 7 on page 57, but not
Section 5 which starts on the same page.

We lecturers do not always present this material in exactly the same way
as it is presented in the book. And sometimes the order also might be
slightly different. We may mention a few small things which are not in the
book, or omit some small parts of the book. But if you look at your
lecture notes you should be able to identify which topics in the lectures
correspond to topics appearing in the book up to the point just specified.
If you see some small topic in your lecture notes which you cannot find
in pages 1-56.5 of the book, then it is probably easier and quicker, and
certainly more beneficial to just learn it, rather than making detailed
enquiries about whether you have to know it or not for Sunday.

From what I said above it should be clear that the results about uniform
convergence (hitkansut bmida shava) of Fourier series which are in the
book after page 57 and also in my notes at
http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~mcwikel/FSIT-TermByTerm-d01.ps
are not part of the material to be tested on 12.12.04

It should also be clear that, for 12.12.04, you DO have to know about
hitkansut nekudatit. Dirichlet's theorem is a central result about
hitkansut nekudatit, (pointwise convergence) of Fourier series, so you
certainly do need to know about hitkansut nekudatit. You also need to know
about hitkansut b'norma (convergence in norm), at least those aspects of
it which are discussed in Chapter 1 of the book.

Hag Hanuka Sameakh, and Bhatzlakha for Sunday.
