Class Meetings

This course will meet four days a week. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays class will be conducted by your instructor. Please feel free to ask questions in lecture, though none regarding homework problems. I do many problems during class and I am more than happy to help you with homework problems during my office hours, by VOH or email.

On Tuesdays or Thursdays your TA will lead a discussion. In your discussion section, the TAs will do homework problems that have been turned in and answer questions, except those about homework problems that are not yet due. TAs will help with homework problems during their office hours. If time permits, the TAs will cover supplementing material to the lecture.


Homework

Homework assignments and their due dates can be found here. No late homework will be accepted.

It is crucial that you do the homework in a timely fashion. You should expect to spend at least five days each week, two hours each day on homework. Homework must be stapled, legible, and complete. Every question must be answered in the form of a complete grammatical unit, either standard English or standard math notation. For example, an answer to the question, "what is y?" could be "y = x – 37", but not just "x – 37".

Designated readers will grade the homework, though not every single problem, but just a few per assignment. The two lowest homework scores can be dropped.

Answers to odd-numbered problems can be found in the back of the book.

Homework will be returned in your discussion section.
