Prerequisites. Math 171H or consent of instructor.
Special Note:     Your goal in this course, as in every course that you ever take, should be a complete mastery of the material. Anything less is aspiring to mediocrity and doing yourself a disservice. I expect you to read the section in the text that we will be covering before we meet. Come to class ready to ask questions about what you do not yet know. After class, re-read the text and your notes, and do some exercises to complete your mastery of the material. Finally, ask questions in class, lots of them.
Calculator: There will be no use of calculators on exams.

Grading
You will be expected to attend all class meetings; I do keep track of such matters, but allow a few absences before penalties begin. There will be two in-term exams, each worth 25% toward your final grade, and one final exam, worth 35%. The remaining 15% will be homework and attendance.
Exam Schedule
First exam:   24 February
Second exam:   7 April
Final Exam: Tuesday 12 May 13:00–15:00
Emergencies: If you have a valid reason (medical or family emergency) for missing an exam, then I will give you an alternative exam, preferably before the scheduled exam. Missing an exam without a valid reason will result in a score of zero for that exam.
Homework:
Homework is assigned most classes, and will be due on Fridays. It will be marked and returned during recitations. More details are on the homework page.

    Late homeworks are not accepted. While it may not be possible to mark all problems assigned, you should hand in all the assigned problems as a random selection of the problems will be corrected, graded, and recorded for your homework score. The two lowest homework scores will be dropped before computing your grade.
Zeroeth Assignment : Read this web page, and send me a text-only email that you have read and understood the course descriptions and policies. Please also answer the following questions:
    (1) Why are you taking this course?
    (2) What do you hope to get out of this course?
    (3) Is there anything else that you want to tell me (that is relevant to the course)?
