Homework Homework must be stapled and is due at the start of class each Thursday, starting Thursday, September 10. Late or unstapled homework will not be accepted. Homework will consist of both odd numbered problems with solutions in the back of the book and even numbered problems to be turned in. The even numbered problems are shown in red below, and will be graded roughly based on the number of problems you attempt and the number of problems you answer correctly.
Labs There will be two lab sessions in Albee 100, held during class on Thursday, September 24 and Tuesday, November 24, as indicated on the schedule below. We will be exploring numerical and symbolic computation using the mathematical software SAGE. After each lab, you must submit your Sage worksheet online by the start of the following class.
Quizzes There will be two 30 minute quizzes given in class on the Thursdays indicated on the schedule below. If you must miss a quiz, you must get permission from Professor Landweber and schedule a make up quiz in advance, unless you are physically unable to do so.
Exams There will be an in class Midterm Exam on Thursday, October 22, and an in class Final Exam on Thursday, December 17. Professor Landweber gives make-up exams only in case of emergencies, and if you miss an exam, you must get permission from Professor Landweber and schedule a make up exam in advance, unless you are physically unable to do so.
