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.

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.

I will try to have the answers to the even numbered problems that have to be turned in available on the web, before they are due, so that you can check your work against them. I also will try to have the complete solutions to the even numbered problems that have to be turned in available on the web ... after they are due

Homework will be returned in your discussion section.

Besides the Professor's and TA's office hours additional help is available M-R 9:00-4:00 and F 10:00-3:00 in the Student Math Center located in MS 3974, where undergraduates math majors as well as graduate math majors will be able to help you with mathematics.

Other tutoring resources are:

• College Math/Sciences Tutorials - 230 Covel Commons
• Academic Advancement Program (AAP) - 1201A Campbell Hall
• Engineering and Mathematical Sciences Library (EMS) - 8270 Boelter Hall
• Private Tutoring - List available in MS 6356 (Fee based tutoring)

Homework determines 10%, the two midterms each determine 20% and the final exam determines 50% of your final grade.
If you miss one midterm, the other still determines 20% and the final exam 70% of your final grade.
If you miss both midterms, the final exam determines 90% of your final grade.
If you miss the final exam, you fail the class.
