The following
topics will be covered in this course:
|
|
Homework: There will be weekly homework assignments. All assignments and due dates will be clearly posted in the Homework section below. Homework is due Monday at 10:00 a.m.. Please submit your completed work in the appropriate Section Box outside of the Math Office, 253 Sloan. Graded assignments will be directly returned to you by your TA during office hours or at recitation. Exams: A one hour exam will be given after weeks 3 and 7 and a Final Exam. No one will be excused from the final. Grading: The awarding of a final grade of Pass or Fail will depend on a composite of these factors; the final exam will be worth 40 percent, while the homework will be worth 30 percent and the 2 one-hour exams are each worth 15 percent. Collaboration and Tools: The use of calculators, computer software, homework assignments and solution sets from previous terms, books and notes and or other such tools is NOT permitted on the exams. Collaboration on exams is not allowed. Collaboration is allowed on the homework but you must write the solutions in your own language. Use of books and notes is allowed on the homework but you may not use solution sets from previous terms if they do the exact same problems. Use of calculators and computer software is allowed for homework but you can only use these tools to check your work. Recitations: Go to the recitations! Each week, a portion of the recitation will be dedicated to introducing some computational (or even theoretical) aspect which the Instructor will not have time to present in class. In general, get to know your TA and bug him/her to death (figuratively speaking) with your questions, and try to fill in all the holes in your understanding of the subject. Office Hours: TA office hours will be posted very soon. |
