Class Meetings:
Class meetings consist of three 65-minute lectures. The lectures introduce new material and

provide the course structure.
Required Work:
1.Examinations:
There will be two hour-exams and a (two-hour) final examination. The final exam is

scheduled by the Registrar’s office. The two hour-exams are scheduled as follows:
Hour-Exam 1Wednesday, October 18, 3:30–4:45 p.m.
Hour-Exam 2Wednesday, November 8, 3:30–4:45 p.m.
Location: Sec. 1— 28 Silsby; Sec. 2— 101 Bradley
Each of the two hour-exams will consist of two parts—a multiple-choice part and a non

multiple-choice part where partial credit can be earned. The final exam will be multiple-
choice. No calculators or computers will be needed or allowed in the sit-down exams.

2.Twice-weekly Homework Problem Sets:
Homework will be assigned at class meetings and will be due on Mondays and Fridays by

8:00 am. There will always be at least one class-day between the day homework is assigned
and the day it is due, thereby providing plenty of opportunity for you to get your questions
answered. You will get and turn in this homework over the web using WeBWorK (we will
say more about that below under Guidelines for Your Work). The homework will consist,
typically, of exercises that cover the major concepts that were introduced in class. It is
important to complete the homework on time for the day it is due. If you do this, you will
have reviewed the ideas covered in class and be ready for the new ideas to come. Remember
that new mathematical ideas build on old ones. Only by staying up to date in the homework
will you avoid getting lost.

When we make up the problems, we do not have in mind drill and repetition. We are aware
that you bring different backgrounds to the course, and that students will differ in their need
to practice by doing problems on a given topic. Therefore, we will concentrate instead on
pointing out problems that will be illustrative of the kinds that will appear on the exams.
Typically, a homework set will consist of a half-dozen or so problems, sometimes fewer, on
