Link to Homework Assignments and Solutions

Homework will be collected each Friday in class. If you cannot attend class, then slip the homework under the door of my office at least 20 minutes before class on the day it is due. Selected problems will be graded and solutions for graded problems will be posted by the end of each week. NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED. The two lowest homework scores for each student will be dropped. Hints for homework: If you get stuck on a problem, first look back through the section and class notes before giving up. You might find an example to help you, or a definition that may help.

Staple papers together. Put your name and the due date on the upper right corner of your paper. Please write legibly, especially your name. Do not fold papers. Homework will be returned in class unless you indicate, in writing, that you prefer picking them up directly from the instructor. Homework not picked up in class will be available for pickup in office hours.

Exams: Student IDs will be required for all exams.

There will be two non-cumulative midterms on January 30 and Febuary 25.

The final exam will be given on Thursday March 20, 10:30am - 12:30pm in WELLMAN 1.

The final is cumulative. There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS. No calculators are allowed on any exam.

There is no extra credit.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY: Cheating on exams will not be tolerated. Students are expected to adhere to the UCD Code of Academic Conduct at all times. If a student is suspected of cheating, the matter will be referred to Student Judicial Affairs and they will handle the issue.
