  • Notes of the week

    Dear All,

    Course Objective

    From the preface to the text:  "In addition to developing the students' intuition about the beautiful concepts of calculus, ... to persuade them that precision and rigor are neither deterrents to intuition, nor ends in themselves, but the natural medium in which to formulate and think about mathematical questions."


    Assignment Summary

    The assigment should be handed to me at the beginning of the class on the day that it is due.

    WF/WP Policy


    A student matriculating beginning in fall, 2008, will be allowed only four withdrawals in his/her college career. Moreover, effective fall, 2008, an instructor must assign either a WP (signifying that the student is doing passing work) or a WF. A student withdrawing after the first exam(s) will receive a WF unless he/she has a marginally passing (D) average in the class (taking into account all relevant data: homework grades, exams, attendance).

    In particular, instructors cannot simply give a WP to anybody who chooses to withdraw from the course before the withdrawal deadline. A grade of WP should always mean that the student was passing the class   at the time of withdrawal.

    The policy is presented here policy.




    The Official Attendance Policy.
    Students are expected to attend classes regularly. A student who incurs an excessive number of absences may be withdrawn from a class at the discretion of the professor.

    In this class, we interpret "excessive" to mean four or more unexcused absences. 


    Academic Honesty

    As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University’s academic

    honesty policy, “A Culture of Honesty,” and the Student Honor Code.  All academic work

    must meet the standards described in “A Culture of Honesty” found at:

    www.uga.edu/honesty.  Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a


    reasonable explanation for a violation.  Questions related to course assignments and the


    academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor
    .

    Please read carefully the information provided here: University Guidelines


    Information for graduate students taking this course

    The Graduate School Curriculum Committee has issued the following statement: "Courses offered jointly at the undergraduate and graduate level must have substantively different criteria for students who receive graduate credit. It is not sufficient to simply say, 'Graduate students will do an additional paper.' Graduate students should be challenged to read more extensively and to integrate the materials more thoroughly, and should be graded with higher standards and expectations than undergraduate students. This might entail an integrated review of primary research that is extended and applied towards a topic of the student's choosing, or synthesis and critique of the material as evidenced through more extensive essay exams, or a demonstration of mastery through an applied project beyond the requirements for undergraduate students. Additional work, by itself, is not sufficient unless the nature of that work clearly conforms with the higher standards of scholarship and research that guide the Graduate School. Newly proposed undergraduate/graduate courses should clearly describe these higher requirements and expectations for students enrolled for graduate credit."

    In order to comply with this policy, I will take the following steps:

    1.  The distribution of your grade in the course is as described above.

    2.  Some of your hw assignments will have at least two additional questions (compared to the one given to the undergraduates in this class).

    3.  Each one of your midterm will contain an additional question (compared to the one given to the undergraduates in this class), and

    4. Your final will contain two additional questions (compared to the one given to the undergrduates in this class).


    The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by

    the instructor may be necessary.
