Honor Code

As a member of the Notre Dame community, I will not tolerate academic dishonesty. The Honor Code is in effect for all exams and assignments. You are encouraged to work together on the assignments, but copying in any form or submitting work done by others as your own is a violation of the Honor Code. Violations will not be tolerated!

Grades

The exams are worth 100 points each, the final is worth 150 points, the homework is worth 50 points, and attendance in tutorial is worth 10 points for a total of 510 points. Each exam and the final will be curved.

Exams:

Exam I: Sept. 22, 8-9:15am, 138 DeBartolo Hall.
Exam II: Oct. 27, 8-9:15am, 138 DeBartolo Hall.
Exam III: Nov. 19, 8-9:15am, 138 DeBartolo Hall.

Homework

Homework is be assigned daily but collected weekly on Friday. I will only answer questions about the homework the class period after the homework is assigned. Be sure check the assignment here (i.e. on this web page) after class as it might change. While you can work together on the homework, you must note on the homework who worked on the problems with you. You must write up the homework separately. Homework for the proceeding Friday, Wednesday, and Monday will be collected on each Friday starting with the second Friday of class. Late homework will accepted until that assignment is graded and passed back. Accepted late assignment occur a 50% penalty.

Attendance

You are expected to attend every class including your assigned tutorials. Excessive absences may result in lowering your grade and even failing the course.

Mathematical Demos and Software

This year we will be using some Java scripts and Mathematica for demos in class. The use of mathematical software/hardware is not required but is very helpful. It is hard (but not impossible) to do the graphing problems without one of the mathematical software/hardware. Either I or the TA are available to help with the demos we use in class. Mathematica 7 is available for download at here.
