Classwork & Homework 
To succeed in the course you must:
  • Attend and actively participate in every class
  • Carefully read the relevant sections of the textbook
  • Work on every assigned problem
  • Actively work on improving your mathematical writing skills
  • Actively seek help whenever you encounter difficulty with any aspect of the course
There will be weekly homework assignments typically due on Wednesdays.  The solutions for all assigned problems will be posted on this site.  In-class problem sessions will be usually held on Fridays.

Attendance  Attendance is required at every class meeting.  If you have to miss the class for whatever reason, please email me in advance and, in any case, within 3 days following your absence.  Short of this, your absence will be considered an unexcused absence.

  • The homework (problems from the book) will represent 25% of the course grade

Help
  Please feel free to contact your instructor if at any time you have problems or questions related to the course.   Some of the assignments may be challenging to some students.  I fully expect to see most of the students in my office, and consider one-on-one discussions with the students an integral part of my teaching.

Students with Disabilities  If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please see your instructor as soon as possible. In order to receive accommodations in this course, you must provide your instructor with a Letter of Accommodation from the Disability Resource Center.
