MTH 30, Spring 2011

Syllabi for the current as well the previous edition of the textbook are available in the Math department webpage: Math 30 Description A syllabus for this section is available here: Syllabus. You can also download The syllabus in pdf.

In this class we'll use the SAGE Computer Algebra System. All students should get accounts. Instructions for getting an account are here: How to get a SAGE account

We'll be using the following workbook prepared by Professor Uma Iyer: Math 30 workbook

Your grade in this class will be determined as follows: There will be several quizzes (approximately one every other class), both in-class and take-home, two in-class midterms, taking a whole session each, and a final exam. The quizzes count cumulatively for 20% of your grade, the midterms count cumulatively for 40% and the final exam counts for the remaining 40%. In sum:

Quizzes	20%
Tests	40%
Final	40%

However, in order to pass the class it is required that you receive a passing grade in the final. Class participation and homework can earn extra credit. Homework will be assigned after every class.
