Welcome to MA 103.

During the semester, you will mail in 4 assignments to me; these will count for 70% of your grade. At the end of the semester, you will have to take a final exam (open notes) on campus or with an approved proctor. I will provide more information about the final exam later in the semester.

The text book for the course is: Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7th edition, by Tannenbaum

Mail your assignments to me at the following address:

Dr. T. Lada
Box 8205
Math. Dept.
N. C. State University
Raleigh, NC 27695-8205

I will grade your work and return it along with the next assignment. Make sure that you include your mailing address with your work.

The assignments (called tests) are also attached below as pdf files.

Pace yourself to complete the course by December 4.  Although there are no specific due dates for the assignments, the schedule below is suggested in order for you to complete the course on time.
Assignment 1 - September 11
Assignment 2 - October 2
Assignment 3 - October 30
Assignment 4 - November 20

The final exam will be given on December 9 - December 17. You should contact the DE Proctor Center (use the DE web site ) early in the semester to schedule your exam.

The homework problems in the "homework" link are not to be turned in.  They are the problems that are assigned at the end of each lecture; these problems are reviewed at the beginning of the next class.  

Here is a link to a list of TOPICS that are covered in each lecture.
