Prerequisites: A grade C or higher in MAT 124 or 125 or 131 or 141; or level 6 on the Mathematics Placement Examination. This exam will be given on several dates in the beginning of the semester. Check the Math Undergraduate Office (P-144 Math Tower, phone 2-8250) for times and places.
Lectures and Recitations: New material is presented each week in lectures. Recitations each week give you a chance to review, in a smaller class, material from the week before. This includes going over difficult parts of assigned homework as well as additional exercises. Recitation leaders can give valuable feedback to the lecturer. Try to make sure your recitation leader knows who you are!
Homework: Problem solving is an essential part of the course and you will be required to do the homework assignments. The homework consists of two parts: the usual homework using pencil and paper, and the web-based homework, described in Homework. The web-based homework is due at noon Thursday in the week following the week it appears; the pencil and paper is due the following week during your recitation session; you can also bring it to the office of your T.A. Late homework will not be accepted. No exceptions.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given twice a month during recitation.
Examinations: There will be two evening midterm tests, on Thursday, October 6, and on Tuesday, November 8; both exams will be held from from 8:30 to 10:00 PM. The final exam will be on Wednesday, December 21 from 11:00 to 1:30 pm. Make certain that you will be available at these times, as there will be no make-ups for missed mid-term exams. Calculators, books, notes, etc. are not allowed during exams. If you miss an exam for an acceptable reason and provide me with an acceptable written excuse, the relevant mid-term will be `dropped' in computing your curse grade. A letter stating that you were seen by a doctor or other medical personnel is not an acceptable document. An acceptable document should state that it was reasonable/proper for you to seek medical attention and was medically necessary for you to miss the exam (for privacy reasons the note/letter need not state anything beyond this point). Incomplete grade will be granted only if documented circumstances beyond your control prevent you from completing 50% or more of all class assignments.
Grading. Your course grade will be based on your examination
performance, homework and quizzes, weighted as follows:
Midterm I | 20% |
Midterm II | 20% |
Final Exam | 40% |
Homework and Quizzes | 20% |
Math Learning Center:
The Math Learning Center (MLC), located in Room S-240-A in the
Mathematics Building, is an important resource. It is staffed most days
and some evenings by mathematics tutors (professors and advanced
students); your recitation instructor will hold at least one office
hour there. For more information, contact the MLC web site http://www.math.sunysb.edu/MLC.
