Review material for Exam 1.
Weekly homework will be collected each Tuesday in recitation. Only 5 problems will be graded from each weekly assignment. Each problem will be worth five points and so each homework assignment will be graded on a scale of 0 to 25. The lowest homework score will be dropped before final grades are computed.
There will be a short quiz worth 10 points at the end of each recitation session.
There will be two in-class midterm exams and one final exam. (No notes, books, or calculators will be allowed during exams.) Each hour exam will be worth 100 points, the homework and quiz grade will be scaled to 100 points, and the final will be worth 200 points, making a total of 500 points for the whole course.
MAPLE is a computer program that works much like the latest hand held mathematical calculators -- only much more powerful. I encourage you to play around with it and to use it on your homework.
Any PC or Mac lab on campus should have the latest version of MAPLE installed. There are Mathematics Open Hours in the lab in LAEB B-275 Sunday through Thursday, 7-10 PM. During this time, there is a person in the lab who can help you get started or resolve problems with MAPLE.
