about my research and academic genealogy.)
Office Hours: TR 2:30-3:20

Textbook: There
will be no textbook. Notes of all lectures will be distributed in class
or electronically. Maple has extensive documentation and examples
of use built in to the program. Instructions will be given on how to access
this information.
See Maple Links on my home page for information about Maple access at USF, a special deal for purchase of the program, and numerous other sources of information on the internet.
Homework, Quizzes, Exams, Course Grades:
1. Homework
Assignments: (40%) Assignments will be due at the beginning
of class on the due date. If an assignment is x days late ceil(x)*10%
will be deducted. Discussion of the homework between students
is permitted; however copying another student's work
is not permitted. University rules will be enforced.
It is a university policy that copying of computer programs and presenting
them as one's own merits an F in the course.
2. Tuesday
Quizzes: (20%) On each Tuesday, unless there is a holiday or exam,
a quiz will be given at the beginning of class. The quizzes will cover
topics covered in previous lectures. Usually, but not always, they will
concentrate on the lecture of the previous week. There will be no
makeups for student who are late or fail to take a quiz. However, I will
drop the lowest 2 quiz grades .
3. MidTerm
Exam:
(20%) Tuesday, October 17.
4. Final Exam:
(20%)
Thursday, December 14, 6:00-8:00 PM.
COURSE GRADES: Your course grade will be based on the weighted average of the grades on the Homework, Tuesday Quizzes, MidTerm and Final. I will use the following scale to assign plus/minus letter grades
98-100 = A+, 93-97 = A, 90-92
= A-,
88-89 = B+, 83-87= B, 80-82
= B-,
78-79 = C+, 73-77 = C, 70-72=C-,
68-69 = D+, 63-67 = D, 60-62
= D-,
0-59 = F.
