The math department publishes a rough course overview.

The first midterm will be Thursday, February 19th in class. The second will be on Thursday, April 9th in class. The final exam will be on Monday, May 11, 11:30-2:30 pm.

1. Course Policies

Grading. 85% exams (20% for each midterm, 45% for the final), 10% quizzes, and 5% homework.

Quizzes. There will be a 20-minute quiz each Wednesday except for exam weeks in section. There will be no makeup quizzes. The two lowest scores will be dropped.

Homework. Homework is due each Monday in section (however the first is due Wednesday, January 28). Late homework will not be accepted. Grade yourselves on a 0-2 scale.

E-mail. I will not answer e-mails that explicitly ask how to solve particular homework problems. There are no guarantees on responding the night before an exam, however I will prioritize administrative and quick math clarification questions.

2. How to study

Step 1. Read the book, go to lecture, section, and office hours, solve examples. Check your understanding.

Step 2. Solve homework problems. If you get stuck, you did not complete Step 1, so go back and figure out exactly what you still need to understand.
