pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to fonts of wisdom and knowledge.

Class participation is an essential part of the course; mathematics is not a spectator sport.
For this section, class participation consists of reading assignments, quizzes, and homework problems.
Reading AssignmentsReading assignments will be given daily and should be read before coming to class. For some of my thoughts on reading mathematics texts, click here.
QuizzesQuizzes will be administered at the end of class on Monday covering material presented in lecture the previous week. They will consist of a couple of questions and should only take 10 - 15 minutes to complete. If you do the homework for the lectures given the previous week (including Friday's homework), then you should do fine on the quizzes.
Homework ProblemsHomework problems will be assigned daily and collected the following class period. Homework will be turned in and picked up from the boxes outside of 103 Bradley. Late homework will not be accepted and a grade of 0 will be assigned (of course, exceptions can be made for emergencies such as illness, death, natural disasters...).
Your homework will be corrected by a class grader and returned as soon as possible.
The solutions you present must be coherent and written in complete sentences whenever possible.
Simply stating answers or turning in garbled, unclear solutions will result in a grade of 0.
Homework will be graded on a 3 point scale: 3 = correct,
2 = mostly correct, 1 = mostly incorrect, 0 = missing.

The solutions are pdf files which you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read.
You can obtain a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader by connecting to the Public server and
looking in the "Core Dartmouth Software" folder.

Final ExamThe final exam is on Monday, March 15th from 12:00 - 2:00 pm in 104 Bradley. The exam is worth 25% of your final grade and is comprehensive, although it will be weighted towards the last half of the term; that is, approximately one-third of the exam will be on material from Chapters 1 through 7 and two-thirds of the exam will be on material we have discussed from Chapters 8 - 15.
