Math 113 Background Survey

Your honest answers to this will be very helpful to me in figuring out how to aim the course -- the goal is to make the numbers

of people lost because the course is too fast

of people bored because the course is too slow

as close to equal as possible.

Your name:

Your major:

Your year:

Your email address:

Are you registered for this section of 113? Yes On the wait list not even that
Are you reasonably sure you're going to take 113? Oh yeah Not yet sure
Are you reasonably sure you're going to stay in this section of it? Oh yeah Not yet sure
(Don't worry about offending me -- everybody's schedule is different, and there are so many classes one might want to take TTh 9:30-11, I understand!)

This is the really important one:

how comfortable are you with proofs? Solid A little insecure Much shakier than I'd like Terrified

How comfortable are you with these topics? Put one X in each row.

Old hat Reasonably familiar Heard of it No clue
Matrices . . . .
Vector spaces . . . .
Complex number arithmetic . . . .
Baby number theory . . . .
Quantum mechanics . . . .
Rotations in R^3 . . . .
"(n choose k)" . . . .

Are Wednesdays 11-1 good for you (for office hours)? If not, can you manage some other time on Wednesday?

Anything else you'd like me to keep in mind?
