Grading: Both exams and the homework will contribute toward the final grade. The midterm and the final are 3-hour take home exams that will be given out in class.

Collaboration: Collaboration is allowed on the homework, but your write-up must be in your own words and may not be copied. Collaboration is not allowed on the exams. You may use books and notes while working on the homework, but you may not consult homework sets or solutions from previous years of Math 2a Practical.

Late Policy: Each student will be allowed a maximum of two extensions during the course of the term, and only if they have been negotiated with the TA in advance of the time the homework is due. Such extensions will be until Wednesday at 12:00 noon at the latest ( i.e. typically for 48 hours). Otherwise late homework will not be accepted without a note from the health center or Dean's office. Late exams will not be accepted except under exceptional circumstances, such as prolonged illness and a note from the Dean.

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.

We shall treat most topics covered in the textbook. However, certain topics might be treated differently in class than they are in the book, and it is the material from class that you are assumed to know for the midterm and final.
