There will be three 50 minute Tests. See course outline for dates of Test 1 and Test 2. Test 3 will be held in the time slot given to the class for the final exam. There will also be one homework set due on each the three days that a test is given. These will serve as practice for the test, and be worth 5% each. You will be required to write a 5 page research paper on an approved topic or person in mathematics. The due dates for the various aspects of this paper are shown, left. All late assignments will be penalized 10% per class meeting that they are late. No assignments will be accepted after they have been returned to the class. Class participation will consist of several unannounced spot checks requiring several randomly selected students to be present and able to answer a question orally from the assigned material.

The Course Outline given above shows when we will be covering material from the text. Some sections will not be covered in their entirety. The exercises given cover everything you are expected to be able to do. The exams will be based closely on the exercises. You are not expected to do all the problems. Do enough of each type until you understand the underlying concept. Only you can judge how many to do. Two rules of thumb: More is better than less. Do at least all the odd numbered ones.
