| Homework: | Homeworks will be posted weekly on the course page. They will not be collected, but they will feature
strongly on the quizzes and exams. |
| Recitations: | You are expected to come to recitations having attempted to work the assignment and prepared with questions
for the TA. It is not a second lecture or a vehicle for them to do your work. |
| Quizzes: | There will be a closed book, closed notes quiz each week during Thursday recitation based on the previous
week's class and homework. There will be no quizzes the first week or exam weeks, for a total of eight quizzes. |
| Exams: | There will be two midterm exams. The final will be at the university scheduled time.
A one-sided note sheet, along with a scientific calculator is permissible. Graphing calculators are not admissible. |
| Grading: | Your lowest quiz will be dropped. Any possible curves will only be determined at the instructor's
discretion after all grades are submitted. The final rubric is: quizzes 25%, first midterm 20%, second midterm 20%, final 35%. |
| Background: | This course relies on the techniques you learned in differential and integral calculus. Brush up on them
if it's been a while. |
| Recommendations: | This course builds very heavily on a few key ideas. If you follow the lectures, do the problems, and ask
questions in recitation and lecture, it will make sense conceptually and the rest will follow smoothly. |
