Grading: Your final grade for the course will be determined based on a numerical weighted average calculated as follows: Homework 16% Quizzes 14% Midterm 30% Final Exam 40%. This average percentage will then be converted into a final letter grade based partially on how other students perform this quarter, and partially on typical percentage grades from previous quarters of the course.

Homework: Homework will be assigned every week. Tentative homework assignments (subject to change) are attached below. Students are advised to complete their homework assignments as soon as the relevant content is covered. The due date is every Friday at the beginning of the class. Homework must be turned in promptly to receive credit. For submitted problems, students are expected to show work and justify their answers. Please write your name on the first page. If you are submitting multiple pages, please staple them together. The eight highest homework scores will contribute to 16% of your final grade.

Quizzes: You will have quizzes during each week of class that we do not have an upcoming exam. They will be roughly 15-20 minutes long and will be given in class on Fridays. Makeup quizzes will only be given in the case of a documented absence. The seven highest quiz scores will contribute to 14% of your final grade.

Exams: A midterm is tentatively scheduled during class time on Monday, October 12. The final exam is scheduled on Friday, November 20 at 12:00pm 1:50pm in Sturm Hall 479. Makeup exams will only be offered in the event of extreme circumstances. If you think you have a problem which will force you to miss an exam, come talk to me as soon as possible.

Calculator: You may use a simple scientific calculator for all exams and quizzes. Graphing or programmable calculators are not allowed as well as calculators that can perform any kind of calculus or symbolic operations. Use of a non-approved calculator will be considered a violation of DU's honor code. If you have any questions about your calculator please see me.

Help: Additional handouts will be distributed throughout the quarter. Students are also encouraged to ask for individualized help from the instructor or the TA at any time. Make use of the Math Center in the Anderson Academic Commons too. Detailed information about the Math Center can be found here: http://portfolio.du.edu/mathcenter.

Students with Disabilities: If you qualify for academic accommodations because of a disability or medical issue, please submit a faculty letter to me from Disability Services Program (DSP) in a timely manner so that your needs may be addressed. DSP determines accommodations based on documented disabilities/medical issues. DSP is located on the 4th floor of Ruffatto Hall, 1999 E Evans Ave, 303-871-2278. Information is also available online at http://www.du.edu/disability/dsp; see the Handbook for Students with Disabilities.

Honor Code: Follow the Honor Code in all activities related to this course. Incidents of academic misconduct will be reported to and investigated by the Office of Student Conduct.

Religious Accommodations: University policy grants students excused absences from class or other organized activities for observance of religious holy days, unless the accommodation would create an undue hardship. Faculty are asked to be responsive to requests when students contact them in advance to request such an excused absence. Students are responsible for completing assignments given during their absence, but should be given an opportunity to make up work missed because of religious observance. Once a student has registered for a class, the student is expected to examine the course syllabus for potential conflicts with holy days and to notify the instructor by the end of the first week of classes of any conflicts that may require an absence (including any required additional preparation/travel time). The student is also expected to remind the faculty member in advance of the missed class, and to make arrangements in advance (with the faculty member) to make up any missed work or in-class material within a reasonable amount of time.

Other: Check the DU academic calendar for important dates throughout the quarter: http://www.du.edu/registrar/calendar/index.html.

Note: Homework assignments on this page are subject to change. The website is always the most accurate source for assignments, so if you print out a copy of this page early, check the web each week to make sure the problems have not been changed. Your teacher will also call attention to it whenever any change is made.

Work the following homework problems at the appropriate time.
