 Homework/Quiz:  A list of homework problems in the textbook will be suggested at the end
of each section. Some of these will be collected for grading. Quizzes are also given regularly. I encourage
you to discuss homework problems with classmates.

Grading: Is the same as reported by Prof. Paul Britt.
There are 2 hour-long midterm exams and a comprehensive final exam contributing 55%
and 30% towards the final course grade respectively. Homework/Quizzes cover the remaining 15%.
There are no make-up exams or make-up quizzes. You may drop your lowest quiz grade and replace your
lowest test grade with your grade on the final exam. No Graphing Calculators on Exams.
