CHEATSHEET:
Office
hours: the
official office hours for this class are following each lecture. However, you
are very welcome to make an appointment and come ask questions, make comments,
or just chat. You can also try showing up at my door anytime. But I might tell
you to come back at another time if I am immersed into something else.
The tables of the law for this class are contained in the

Syllabus
Homework: math
math is not a sport for bystanders. Getting your
hands dirty is important to make sure that
things sink in and you are not just spending a semester assisting to my
creative rambling. Homework will be due pretty much every Friday (but see below
for the up-to-date information). I will NOT
grade all the problems I assign. If one of the problems you feel unsure about
doesn't get graded, please don't go: "Whew! Lucky one!" but rather come ask me
about it. The point is you understanding, not pretending to!!
READ CAREFULLY!! In fact, here is the homework grading policy. For every assignment, you are supposed to write up all problems. However you need to identify two questions: the one that you feel have done best on (which will be graded), and the one where you feel you have done worst on (which will be looked at and commented but not graded). This is supposed to force you to self-evaluate your own understanding, and to maximize the efficiency with which I can give you the most needed feedback.

Manuscripta: this
is an essential requirement for this course. You must read the book
ahead of the lectures and help me create lectures that are maximally
useful for you.
Go to http://www.manuscripta.io , log in with the information that I shared with you via email and find the document MATH469. Then follow instructions as to how to input your questions and comments.
For any
questions, comments, tips and especially to pass on feedback or
problems about Manuscripta, feel free to contact Jim Carlson, the developer
of this platform, at jxxcarlson@icloud.com
Exams: There
will be one assessment exam, two midterms and a final. These
dates might change, so please check occasionally. If dates change I
will also mention it in class, of course.
