Requirements: Students will learn the material by reading the text and doing the 342 problems in the text. Most classes will consist of discussion of the material and presentation by the students of their solutions to the problems. Class participation is expected.
Computer usage: Computers will be used for e-mail and web access during the semester.
Class attendance: Classes run from 3:07 pm to 4:00 pm. Please arrive on time and stay until the end of class. Late arrivals and early departures are disruptive.
Collaboration: This course will follow the guidelines
set down under the
Academic Integrity Policy
of Arts & Sciences.
Students are encouraged to collaborate
on all homework and to form study groups. However, each student must write
up and hand in his or her own homework assignments. You might have worked
a problem with someone else, or someone else showed you how to do the
problem, but you must then write up the solution on your own. At the end
of each assignment list the names of everyone with whom you worked, or who
gave you help, on the assignment, in accordance with guideline 2 of the
academic integrity statement. Suspected violations of these guidelines will
be referred to the Committee on Academic Integrity.
Calculators: Calculators will be used occasionally in the course. A calculator that does long division with remainder is recommended.
Grades: Your grade for the course will be based on your midterm exam scores, your final exam score, and your preparation for class participation.
