Homework: It is essential to do mathematics
in order to learn it. There will be 7 biweekly homework
assignments, which will be collected and graded. Note that

Blackboard site after the homework is turned in. One lowest

forbidden but also not encouraged, and students can expect
to take most tests and quizzes without a calculator. TI-83
or TI-84 graphing calculators (or comparable models) can be
used in homework, quizzes; and exams, and TI-85 or above or
calculators on mobile phones cannot be used in quizzes and
exams.

and software Matlab will be used for demonstration, and
students are also encouraged to use them for homework. The
software are not needed for quizzes and exams.

success in this course. I expect your presence at every
