Announcements:

Exams: There will be two midterm exams in class and a separately scheduled final exam. The midterms will be on Wednesday October 17 in class and on Wednesday November 7 in class. The final will be on Tuesday, December 11 3:30 pm - 5:30pm and will be cumulative. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS, so please schedule your activities accordingly. All exams will be closed book with no calculators or electronic devices allowed.

Homework: There will be weekly homework assignments, due each Wednesday in class. I will post assignments in class and also on the course web-page. I encourage you to form study groups for the homework and exam preparation, but each person must write up their own copy of the homework to turn in. No late homework will be accepted but I will drop one homework score.

Quizzes: There will be weekly quizzes on Fridays, which will be taken from the homework questions. No make-up quizzes will be offered, but I will drop one quiz score, and there will be no quiz the week of exams.

Grades:
Homework:  10%
Quizzes:10%
Midterms:25% each
Final:30%

There will be NO MAKEUP EXAMS. If one of the midterm exams is missed because of a documented medical emergency, then the course grade will be computed as follows: Homework 10%, Quizzes 10%, Midterm 35%, Final 45%.

SmartSite Your grades will be available on smartsite. Our class is called "MAT 022A - 001 FQ 2007" If you turned in homework 1 and couldn't find your homework in the pile and do not have a grade listed on smartsite please email the TA, Daniel Wuellner , dwuellner *at* math *dot* ucdavis *dot* edu

Syllabus: The course will follow the syllabus found here. (Note: syllabus updated 10/31/07) This contains dates of homework, quizzes, exam, in addition to a class by class schedule. The exact dates are subject to change, and all changes will be announced in class. I will do my best to update the syllabus as well, but be advised that you are responsible for any changes that I announce in class. A copy of the course information (most of which is found on this page) is here.

Class Lab Account: If you don't already have an account in the math department you can sign up for one at www.math.ucdavis.edu/comp/class-accts. This is necessary for you to use matlab for your homework. The course CRN is 60351.

Homework Assignments: In an effort to make turning back homework easier, please put the first letter of your LAST NAME in a box in the upper right corner of the first page of your homework . Underneath this box, put your full name, last name first and put your last name in ALL CAPS.
