Examinations: There will be two midterms given in class on February 14th and March 28th.
There are no makeups for missed exams, regardless of the reason for absence.

If you have two final examinations scheduled at the same time, it is the responsibility of the other department to provide an alternate exam.

Midterm and Final Information

Extra Credit Assignments

Homework: Homework is due every Monday 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. The homework will be graded for accuracy on a few problems and on general completeness. The lowest homework score will be dropped.

Your homework should demonstrate your knowledge of the material. Although homework is worth only 20% of your grade, it is the main indicator of how well you are absorbing the material. It provides examples of types of questions that will appear on exams. Solutions will be on reserve in the math library.

Grading: The course grades will be computed as follows.

Help: Help is available if you have trouble with homework or lecture material. If you are unable to attend my office hours, go 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.

Method of Study: Your work for every class should break into five steps as follows:
  1. Read the appropriate section of the book before coming to class.
  2. Come to class.
  3. Read the section again after class.
  4. Do your homework. Confer with others.
  5. Come to office hours or to the helproom with any remaining questions.
