  In addition, you are welcome to make appointments to see me at other times. Or, if you are willing to take a chance that I am busy or not in, you can simply drop by my office. The Math Resource Center is right across the hall from my office, so if I am not available, you can ask them.

Requirements and grades:

The secret to doing well is to attend class and to read the book. You should read each section before we talk about it in class, then again after class, before doing the homework for the section. If you have any trouble understanding it, read it several times, first, quickly for an overall idea what the section is about, then in detail, working out the examples the book uses to make sure you know why each statement is true. Only after this should you start the homework. You may be pleasantly surprised how much easier the homework is with this sort of preparation. You will certainly understand the material and retain more of it, if you study in this way.

Special attention will be paid to the quality of the writing you turn in. Mathematics consists of logical relations between ideas, not just formulas. Understanding the logical relationships will enable you to find solutions to problems, and explaining them makes your work easier to understand for those who read it.

You will be expected to participate in class discussions in which we will work on problems and discuss them with classmates. Two to four homework assignments will be given each week, depending upon the number of sections in the book covered during the week. Questions about the homework can be answered at class time or during office hours.

Policy on absences: Makeup exams will be given only in the event of documented emergencies.
