There will be no classes or office hours during the Thanksgiving break, November 25-27.

The final exam will take place on Monday, December 14, 8-10:45am (yes, in the morning!). This is during the very first exam slot and only two days after the classes end at Stony Brook; so do not fall behind, as there won't be much time to catch up.

Midterm I: Info, Course Summary I, Fall 05 exam and solutions, Spring 06 exam and solutions, Fall 09 exam and solutions.
Midterm II: Info, Course Summary II, Fall 05 exam and solutions, Spring 06 exam and solutions, Fall 09 exam and solutions.
If you would like to discuss how a specific problem on your second midterm was graded, please see the primary grader for that problem:

If you feel a specific part of a problem on your exam was graded harsher than intended, it would be only appropriate for the problem's primary grader to check how the entire problem on your exam was graded. This may result in your grade going up or down, likely marginally, if at all. Instructors may check consistency with the grading scheme for any other problem (or problems) on the exam, which may effect your scores on other problems.

PS7 and PS8 were graded out of 105 and 65 points, respectively. PS9 will be graded out of 115 points. However, blackboard should automatically weigh all problem sets equally; so, while it will display your actual scores for the individual problem sets, the average homework score and the weighted average should be computed effectively after re-scaling all homework scores as if they were out of 100 (e.g. dividing your PS7 score by 1.05). Once all homework scores are in, blackboard should automatically drop the lowest re-scaled score in computing the average homework score, which is then used to compute the weighted average (until PS11 scores are entered, blackboard will consider your score for PS11 to be 0 and will be dropping it).

Here are the office hours for this course and general information about the course. Your grades will be available through the blackboard website.

Please generally attend the lecture you are registered for. If you are unable to attend a class in the lecture you are registered for or would like to see a specific topic again, you may attend another lecture; however, due to space limitations, the students registered in any given lecture and arriving on time will have priority. On the other hand, please free to attend any of the office hours. Additional help is also available through the Math Learning Center, which is located in Math S-240A and staffed by math grad students and faculty, as well as through the Residential Tutoring Centers. The morning hours at MLC are usually less popular and thus the staff are more likely to be able to devote more attention to each student.

Due to the size of the class, it may not be possible for the lecturers and the graders to respond to every e-mail. Before sending an e-mail with an administrative question (e.g. about exam locations), please check to see if the answer to your question is contained in the course information handout, on this website, or available through the Stony Brook University pages. Please do not e-mail mathematical questions (e.g. how to do a specific problem); instead please come to office hours. If you would like to discuss your homework grades (as opposed to the homework itself), please speak with the grader who graded it:

Please read the relevant sections from the textbook before each lecture. The written homework assignments will be posted at least 1 week before they are due; HW10 is now available.
