Course Description/Objective

We will use the MAPLE software program to complete mathematical projects to supplement the material you learn in Differential Calculus.

 

Materials

  1. Bring a floppy disk. Do not save work on the desktop as this can put you in violation of the University’s Academic Honesty Policy.
  2. Projects are located at http://www.math.uga.edu/calclab2200

 

Grading

Grades will be based on the average of approximately 7 projects, and quizzes.

A: 85-100               B: 75-84                  C: 65-74                  D: 60-64                  F: 0-59

 

Late Work

Late work will be accepted at a penalty of 10 points per day late. If for some reason you know you will not be in class on a certain day, you may drop the assignment in my mailbox in room 434A during business hours(I’m not sure what these are. It’s probably open from around 9-5.). If the room is locked, you may slide the assignment under my office door. Please use a post-it or some sort of tag on the assignment with the words “Attention: R. Brice Math 2200L”

 

Attendance

There is no strict attendance policy; however, I would recommend attending all classes. I will provide all necessary information during class and it’s your responsibility to make sure you receive that information, whether by attending class or by some other more creative method you may have discovered in your academic career. Also, we may complete some projects together in class.

 

Academic Honesty

Academic Honesty is very important to this university and it should be to all of us. The value of your degree that you earn here is directly affected by each of us maintaining honesty in our academic work. Please don’t do anything dumb like turning in someone else’s work. Not only will you not learn the material, but by the policy I must report you and I do not want to have to do that with any of you. The University’s Academic Honesty Policy can be viewed at http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/academic_honesty.htm.

 

Group Work

You may work in groups but the final project you hand in must be your own.

 

Withdrawal Information
