RECOMMENDED PROBLEMS : All odd-numbered problems.
Review problems will be posted on this web page before each in-class test.

Solutions Manual (information on accessing this online book will be communicated in class.)

Recommendations: Begin to do your homework from today, August 29, till the last day of class. Set your goal for the class right from the beginning, and work tirelessly toward it; do not let anyone or anything divert you from your goal. Be focused on your studies, and you will succeed. Be sure to attend classes regularly, and to diligently deal with any questions or concerns you might have. Good luck.

Evaluation:
- Three in-class tests (Thursday Sept. 28; Thursday Oct. 26; Thursday Nov. 30).
- Final exam (Tuesday December 12, 09:30-12:15, same room).

The three in-class tests will make up 60% of the final grade.  The final exam is cumulative, and will be worth 40%. You will be required to produce a photo ID before taking any of the tests, and before writing the final exam. For students who took the three tests, we will also use the alternate grading scheme: Term work 40%, and final exam 60%, whichever produces the highest grade. No graphing calculators, or ipods, or pagers or cellphones are allowed during the examsor class time; you are not allowed to use or check these devices during the exam or class time, they must be off. There will be no make-up for missed tests. If you miss a test and you produce a doctor certificate indicating that you were sick and unable to write the test, then the corresponding grade will be added to the final exam grade, otherwise, a zero will be recorded for any missed test.

Grading Scale:

0-39      F                      40-49   D-                     50-54    D       55-59   D+
60-64   C                      65-69   C+                      70-74    B-     75-79   B
80-84   B+                    85-89  A-                       90-100  A

Incomplete grades:
    It is extremely difficult to qualify for an incomplete grade. An incomplete grade is not a substitute for a failing grade. In order to be considered for an incomplete grade, the student must have completed at least seven-eighths (7/8) of the course and must be passing with a grade of C or better.

Important Dates:
November 03 is the last date to drop the course with a DR  grade. It is of a great importance that you accurately assess your course performance prior to this date.
