Math 104, Section 001

Here is the general Math 104 page, covering general information for all sections. In particular, you can find the common syllabus. My recitation leaders are Darin Comeau and Tong Zhu.

If you want to see me outside of the lecture hours, feel free to come. My office hours are Wednesday, 16:00-18:00. I'm in David Rittenhouse Laboratory, Room 2N9D (2nd floor).

In addition to the recitations, everyone is invited to attend the Math 104 workshop. Elizabeth Duncan will lead the session for our section of Math 104.

Grade information

The total grade is a weighted average of your grade for the two midterms, the final, and combined homework assignments and quizzes. The weights are as follows:

Grade Weight
1. Midterm 25%
2. Midterm 25%
Final 35%
Homework and Quizzes 15%

You can view and verify your current grade book entries on the Blackboard.

Exams

We will have two midterms, on Oct. 14 and Nov. 18 respectively. The Final will be on Monday, December 20, 4:00-6:00 pm in Towne Building's Heilmeier Hall. As usual, you may use one sheet of handwritten notes and a pen/pencil, but no books or electronic devices.

Homework

You have one week for each homework assignment, so there is one recitation where you may ask any questions that you might have. The homework is subsequently collected during my Friday lecture (If you cannot come you may turn in your homework earlier, but never later).

Up to three students may work together, and hand one solution. Please staple the sheets together and make sure that everyone's name is written on the first page. The writer (the student writing the solution) must rotate within your study group.

Occasionally, there will be quizzes during the recitation. These quizzes will be graded and contribute to the final grade, as do the homework assignments.

The course uses Maple. Try the online tutorial.

Additional Exercises
