Remark on Using E-MAIL

Quite often adequate advice can be obtained via e-mail from the instructor, from the TA or from fellow students. It is helpful if you address your message both to the instructor and to the TA. A list of the electronic addresses of the students in class will be made available early in the quarter.

Textbook

E. Kreyszig, "Advanced Engineering Mathematics", 8th edition, John Wiley.

Homework

Homework will appear Wednesday between 3pm and 5pm. here.  It is due next Wednesday in class for the in house students and next Friday before 3pm for the EDGE students. Solutions appear also here Friday between 3pm and 5pm. In addition, a suggested reading assignment will be given on Fridays in preparation for the following week's lectures.  Students are encouraged to form study groups but the homework that you submit must be your own work.
The solution of all the hw problems is mandatory but in each set of hw problems only two will be graded.

What and Where

To avoid the student uncertainty about the material, a document will be updated every week that explains what has been covered and where can the material be found (book, lecture notes, etc.).

Grades

Homework: 40%
Midterm :    25%  
Final Exam: 35%
If you miss a test due to health reason you have to provide proper justification by a medical doctor or registered nurse.

Tests

Open book, open notes. Solutions of the homework problems must not be accessed.
