Lecture: Monday and Wednesday, 11am-12:15pm, CRST, Room 160B

Office Hours: Tuesday 2:30-3:30pm and Thursday 1-2pm in SH6507

Textbook: Johnsonbaugh and Pfaffenberger, Foundations of Mathematical Analysis

Exams: There will be two midterms and one final exam. The examinations will be closed book and closed note. There will be no retaking or rescheduling exams under any circumstances, as the grading scheme allows you to drop your lowest midterm score.

• First Midterm: Monday, May 6, 11am-12:15pm
• Second Midterm: Wednesday May 29th, 11am-12:15pm
• Final Exam: Thursday June 13, 12-3pm

Homework:

• Homework will be due Sundays at 11:59pm.
• Assignments will be posted on this website and submitted via Gradescope.
  
• Only problems marked with an asterisk (*) should be submitted for grading.
  
• At least one problem on each of the exams will be chosen from the non-asterisked homework problems.
  
• No late homework will be accepted.
  
• The lowest two homework grades will be dropped and will not count toward the final grade.
  
• Regarding collaboration/Google:
  • The solutions to most homework problems can be found on the internet. The purpose of homework is to practice solving problems. Don’t miss out on that practice, or you will deprive yourself of key preparation for the exams.
  • Discussing homework problems with classmates is an excellent way to learn the material. However, be aware that it's easy to overestimate how much you actually understand individually when you solve problems in a group.

Participation: Participation will be based on attendance and contributions during lecture. If you have personal circumstances that make it difficult for you to attend lecture, please contact me within the first two weeks of classes to make an alternative arrangement.

Grading Scheme:

• Participation: 5%, Homework: 30%, Highest of Two Midterm Grades 30%, Final 35%
• All regrade requests must be received within two weeks after the graded work is returned.
