Exams

There will be 2 closed book midterm exams tentatively scheduled for the above dates. You are not allowed to use a calculator during the midterm and final exams but you can prepare and use one 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper (both sides) with notes of your choice. The final and midterm exams will be cumulative (covers all material). Only the final exam will be common (all 114 students take the same exam). They take place at the times given above.

Homework

Homework is to be handed in on Thursday's by 3pm into your TA's mailbox in DRL 4W1. Any homework turned in after 3:05 pm will be considered late and will receive no credit. The homework will be graded but the worst 2 scores will be dropped (will not be used in calculating your final homework grade). Homework assignments will be found on the web here.

Quizzes

Every week (except during exam weeks) during the last 10-15 minutes of your recitation you will be given a quiz on a homework problem from the previous week's assignment. The quizzes will be graded but the worst score will be dropped (will not be used in calculating your final quiz grade). There will be no makeup quizzes.

Blackboard

All Exam, Quiz and Homework grades will be posted on Blackboard.

Maple is a mathematical software package. In addition to doing standard numerical and graphical computations, it is capable of doing symbolic computations.
