Textbook: Advanced Engineering Mathematics, P. V. O'Neil, 5th edition.
Course Material:
Homework: Homework will be assigned, but not collected. However, many homework problems, with or without slight modifications, will appear in quizzes and tests (so will the examples that I work on in my lectures). Thus, it is absolutely imperative to work on each of the assigned problems.
Tentative schedule of tests:
There will be ten quizzes, two tests during the semester and a
comprehensive final exam.
Final Exam: June 29, 8:00AM-11:00AM .
Missed tests/quizzes: There will be no makeup
quizzes/tests/exams.
In computing your quiz average I will drop the lowest 3 grades.
If you miss a test/final exam without a valid excuse, a zero will be
averaged into your grade.
If you are forced to miss a test/final exam, an excuse from a doctor or
other appropriate authorities must be
presented.
If the excuse is accepted, your other course work will be adjusted so
that you will not be penalized.
Grading: Class tests - 40%, final examination - 40%, quizzes - 20%.
