TEXT (required): Transition to Higher Mathematics, Dumas and McCarthy
BRING THE TEXT TO CLASS EVERY DAY

CONTENT: Chapters 1 - 6, plus more if time permits

GRADED WORK: Homework, quizzes, midterm exams, final exam

ON HOMEWORK: Laser or other high quality computer printed work is acceptable. Handwritten homework must be prepared neatly on green engineering paper or white three ring binder paper, no spiral edges, generously spaced, one side only. Multiple pages must be stapled together. Sloppy disorganized work will be returned unread with a grade of zero. I suggest doing each assigned problem twice. Do the first draft on scratch paper. When you know exactly how a solution or proof goes, transcribe it neatly onto your final paper. Late homework will not be accepted.

REMARK: This is the beginning of real mathematics. It will be hard but you can do it. Study a lot - at LEAST eight hours per week for this class. MIDTERM EXAM
March 10 (Chapters 1 - 3)
November 6 (Parts III and IV)

CUMULATIVE FINAL EXAM Tuesday May 12, 8 - 9:50

BASIS FOR GRADES:
Homework and Quizzes: 30%
