For more info and a rough schedule see
There also you can find course requirements and prerequisites.
Student Math Center: located in MS 3974, will re-open on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. The hours of operation are: Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Homework:The homework is assigned weekly every Fridayand collectedon Friday, at the beginning of the lecture, and will be returned in the discussion sessions (Tuesday and Thursday) next week.The only exceptions are the first homework and the 4th homework, which will be collected on Mondays, April 4 and April 25 respectively (see the tentative schedule).
There will beno make-up homework, butthe lowest homework score will be dropped in the computation of your final grade.
You may discuss homework problems with other students, the TA or me. In fact, the right kind of discussion can be quite valuable. I do expect two things, though: (i) you should try seriously to do the exercise yourself before discussing it with anyone, and (ii) you should write up the solution yourself after understanding it thoroughly, without following someone else's written version.
Please putthefollowinginformationintheupperrighthandcornerofthefirstpage:
•Which discussion Section are you in
•FirstName.
•LastName.
•Student ID #.
•Math32B,Homework#x.
Please label the chapter + section number as well as the problem number. All these are for your benefits by means of facilitating the grading process.
Examinations: Examinations and quizzes will be closed book and no calculators can be used.
The first midterm will beFriday,April 22, during the regular class hour, in 4000A
The second midterm will be Monday, May 15, during the regular class hour, in4000A
The final exam will be Monday, June 6, 2016, 3:00pm-6:00pm, location will be announced as soon as possible.
Exams requirements:YoumustbringavalidphotoID(likebruincard)toeveryexam,andyoumustsigneveryexamyoutake.Forgradingcomplaintsandregardingrequests(forhomeworkandmidterms)pleasecontacttheinstructorwithin1weekofreceivingyourgradedexam.
Grade policy:Your scores will be computed as the maximum of the following two schemes: Homework:20%,the first midterm is 20%, the second midterm 20%,andthefinal40%.
