Homework is due in the first TA sectionin the following week. Your TA will tell you which problems to hand in; you are not expected to do allthe problems (there are too many) but you should read them all and make sure that you can do each oneif asked. During the TA section following the one in which homework is due, your TA will give you a quizcovering the homework you turned in during the previous class. In other words, your Week 1 homework isdue during the first TA section in Week 2 (usually Tuesday), and a quiz on the homework material is givenduring the next class (usually Thursday).ExamsThere will be two in-class exams, an evening exam, and one final exam. Makeup exams are not normallygiven.Calculators may not be used on exams: they are not needed since you will not be penalized for not doingarithmetic. (An answer like 2 + 3 is acceptable, but an answer like 2 + 3 = 6 will be penalized.) The purposeis to encourage you to avoid messy calculations and express your answer in a form that is easy to follow.Exams will be closed book: you will not be allowed any notes. If you understand why a formula is true,you will find it easier to remember.GradingExam 1 (Sections 1.5 - 3.5) 15%Exam 2 (Sections 3.6 - 4.7) 20%Exam 3 (Sections 5.1 - 5.8) 15%Final (Cumulative) 30%Quizzes 10%Homework, Effort and Attendance 10%Even though the midterm exams stress the indicated sections does not mean they are not cumulative;problems appearing later in the course may use concepts taught earlier.The lowest two quiz scores will be discarded - there will be no makeups for quizzes. Half of your homeworkscore is determined by how much of the assignment you turn in, the other half by the correctness of oneproblem graded by your TA. The lowest three homework scores will be dropped - no late homework will beaccepted.2It is guaranteed that a score of 80% on any exam is at least a B. It is guaranteed that 80% of thequestions on an exam will consist of either homework problems or problems from any handoutswhich might be distributed during the semester.EthicsStudents are encouraged to work on their homework problems in groups. Sharing or copying of answers onthe quizzes or exams is considered cheating, and it will be dealt with harshly. Students caught cheating willbe given a grade of “F” in the course and will be subject to disciplinary action by the University.PrerequisitesYou should be familiar with co-ordinates, equations of lines, slope of lines, and functions and graphs, asexplained in sections 1-1 through 1-6 of the text. You should be familiar with trigonometry (this is reviewedin section 2-9 and 6-2 of the text). You should also have seen exponentials and logarithms so that theformulasy = ax, x = loga(y)(they are equivalent) are familiar to you. (This will be reviewed in chapter 6.) If this material is unfamiliarto you then you may not be ready for calculus. The handout What you need to know to take Calculus 221is reproduced on my web page. There are three work shops given early in the semester which you shouldattend if you are unsure of what you are expected to know. The workshop schedule is available online at:http://www.math.wisc.edu/~tprogram/mathhelp.htmlGetting HelpIf you are having difficulty, first talk to your TA or Lecturer. If you cannot come to the scheduled officehours, make an appointment to see either at a different time. Here are some other places you can get help:MATH LABThe Math Lab is an especially good place to go if you have a quick homework question; more detailedquestions are probably better directed to your TA.Location: B227 Van Vleck Hall (across from the Mathematics Library).Hours: Monday through Thursday, 3:30 - 5:10 pm, and 6:30 - 8:10pm.Dates: Starting the second week of classes (usually), through the end of the semester.Cost: Free.You can find a link to the Web page for this program athttp://www.math.wisc.edu/undergrad/PRIVATE TUTORINGThe Mathematics Department publishes a list of Mathematics graduate students who are willing to tutorstudents; copies are available on the second floor of Van Vleck Hall, next to the elevators. According toMath Department policy, TA’s are not supposed to tutor in courses they are teaching.Location: Varies; many tutors will meet in Van Vleck Hall; some will meet off-campus.Cost: Fees vary from tutor to tutor; typical costs are $15 to $25 per hour.3MATH BOARDThe Math Board is a wooden board with slots labeled for many of the department’s mathematics courses(101 through 632); interested students can fill out a card with information about themselves (name, course,instructor, contact information), and put that card in the slot that matches their course. Students can alsoread the cards that have been placed into the various slots, and use the information from the cards to contactone another to set up study groups, etc.Location: The Math Board is on the
