Final Examination: There will be a three-hour final examination Wed, May 14, 9 am - noon. You must take the final examination at the time scheduled by the university; no final exams will be given earlier. In particular:

1.
If you have two final examinations scheduled at the same time, it is the responsibility of the other department to provide an alternate exam.
2.
Examinations will not be rescheduled because of travel arrangements. It is your responsibility to schedule travel appropriately.

Homework: Homework is due every Wednesday at 10:30. Homework must be neat, legible, and stapled in order to receive credit. You may hand in the homework either in class or into my mailbox (downstairs from the entrance to the Math Building). No late homework is accepted.
Your homework should demonstrate your knowledge of the material. Although homework is worth only 15% of your grade, it is the main indicator of how well you are absorbing the material. Completing the homework is essential for doing well in this course. Many of the midterm and final problems will be directly related to the weekly homework.
You are assigned "class participation" when the first initial of your last name is listed under the dates on the schedule below. During this week, you are expected to sit in the front two rows and ask and answer lots of questions.

Grading: The course grades will be computed as follows.

15% Homework and class participation.
20% Midterm 1
25% Midterm 2
40% Final exam

Help: Help is available if you have trouble with homework or lecture material. If you are unable to attend my office hours, go to the Mathematics Help Room  (406 Mathematics) or Barnard Mathematics Help Room  (333 Milbank Hall, on the Barnard campus). These rooms are always staffed by at least one mathematics professor or graduate student Monday through Friday during business hours. You may drop by whenever the Help Room is open; no appointment is necessary.

Extra Credit: Due March 14, pg 1038 #5, #7;
Due April 4, pg 1122 #2, #3
