For basic enrollment information, please visit the course page in the mathematics department website. For enrollment issues, please contact the math department undergraduate advisors:
There will be weekly homework sets, to be updated in the syllabus below. They will be collected in your section meetings on Tuesdays, graded by your section instructors, and returned to you in your section meetings on the next Tuesdays. The homework policy will be made by your section instructor.
There will be 3 quizzes, to be taken in your discussion section. They will be graded by your section instructor and returned to you in the discussion section. The quizzes and the quiz policy will be made by your section instructor.
There will be two midterm exams and one final exam. Exam rule: no makeup, no textbook, no calculator, but a cheat sheet (letter size, two-sided) is allowed. The midterms will be taken in two of the regular MWF classes, graded by the section instructors and me, and returned to you in your discussion section. There will be no makeup midterm. If you take exactly one midterm (and miss the other), the score of the midterm you miss will be set to be 80% of the score of the midterm you take. If you miss both midterms, both scores will be set to be 0. If you take both midterms, and the lower midterm score is less then 80% of the higher midterm score, the lower midterm score will be replaced by 80% of the higher midterm score.
