Instructor: Sigurd B. Angenent Office: Van Vleck 609.

Office hours:  By appointment only. With a large lecture it is very unlikely that there is a time slot free to everyone. If you want to talk to me, contact me after lecture and we'll pick a time.

Course description:  See the math department's own description.

Lecture Times and Location: The time table tells us that the lectures are in B10 INGRAHAM, on monday, wednesday and friday at 1:20pm.

Textbook: This course will be taught out of lecture notes with problems written especially for this course. In particular you should NOT buy the textbook which is used by other sections. The notes will be posted at the top of this website during the semester. Misprints and typos which you find in the notes should be reported to me. I will post them on the ERRATA PAGE and announce them in lecture.

Discussion: Students will meet twice a week with their TA. The TAs are: Zajj Daugherty, Rachel Davis, Derek Garton and Junwu Tu (Van Vleck Hall, office 308).

Homework assignments: Homework will be assigned in lecture and discussed in the discussion section. Some of the homework will also be webbased.

Exams: There will be two 90-minute midterm exams and one final exam. The midterms will be in the EVENING on WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 3 and WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 7. Mark these dates in your calendar! Make-up exams will only be given under the most unusual circumstances.

Grades: The two midterm exams count for 25% each, the final counts for 30%. The homeworks (discussion and webbased) and/or quizzes which your TA grades will count for 20%
