There will be two exams will be held during specially set hours.
Students are expected to take the exams on these days:
Wednesday, Oct. 2, 4:15-5:30 pm;
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 4:15-5:30 pm;
The date, time and place of the final exam will be announced later
in the semester.
If you are late for an exam, you will not be able to take that exam.
The grade for a single missed exam will be determined by the grade
on the final exam.
In most cases, if you miss two exams, you will be assigned a grade
of " F "for the course.
If you know well in advance that you will be unable to take the
exam (e.g., religious observance), please
let me know so we can work something out.
Books, calculators or other aids are not permitted during the exams (unless specified by the professor).
Method of Evaluation:
The final grade will be based on the scores received for the two exams and the final as well as grades on quizzes, class participation/attendance and homework. Each exam accounts for about 25% of the final grade and the final exam accounts for about 35%.
Attendance Policy:
Attendance is mandatory. Students' names will be submitted to the Dean of Freshman Studies for withdrawal from the course if they miss more than three classes. Two latenesses are equivalent to one absence.
The last day to withdraw from the class and receive a "W" grade is Nov. ?, 2002.
Tutoring:
There is plenty of help available for this class. There is weekly recitation.Your instructor will answer questions related to topics covered in class during office hours, by appointment and before and after class. The Mathematical Sciences Department runs a tutorial center located in University (Kupfrian) Hall, Room 100. Students are urged to utilize the center for homework and study as needed.
Homework:
Homework assignments, will be assigned by your instructor.

The more relevant exercises you do, whether they are assigned or not, the better prepared you should be for exams.
Before the first class, you should skim Chapter 1 and be prepared to
ask any questions you might have on material
in Chapter 1. There will be a brief review of Chapter 1 the first class.
