Homework

There will be written homewor due roughly every week. Collaboration in the homework is permitted, but you are not allowed to copy someone else's work. The solutions must be written individually. You have to mention on your problem set the names of the students that you worked with. You can find the homeworks for this class here.

There will also be homework to be turned in online through WebWorK, an open-source online homework system for math and sciences .

How to get access to WebWorK

Go to WebWorK.
Enter your WebWorK login name and password. The login name should be the same as your Swarthmore email user ID. If you already used WebWorK in Math 15, you will have the same password, if not then your password will also be your email user ID. Make sure you change your password after your first login. If at the begining of the semester you cannot login to WebWorK , please email me and I will set up the account for you and contact you when it is activated.
Links to some useful WebWorK pages can be found here.
WebWorK Feedback: All WebWorK problems have a buton for "email instructor" Clicking this buton allows you to write a message that is emailed to the instructors. Someone will get back to you within a day or so (ad maybe sooner). You do not have to copy out the problem (the system automatically does this). If WebWorK won't accept your answer, then say what that answer is and how you came up with it. It helps us if you give some idea of your thought process.

Quizzes

There will be roughly a quiz per week. It will be a short 15-minute exam consisting of two questions. The quizzes will be on Fridays unless otherwise noted in class.
The two lowest quiz grades won't count towards your final grade.

Exams

On the midterms and the final exam you must work on the problems on your own. No collaboration permitted in the exams. Also, no calculators or notes are permitted.

The first midterm will be on Tuesday February 21 from 8pm to 9:30pm. Location: SC 183.

The second midterm will be on Tuesday April 3 from 8pm to 9:45pm. Location: SC 264.
