The grades are in! Here is the breakdown on grading:
| Total Points Recieved | Grade Received | Number of Recipients |
| 655-800 | A | 16 |
| 580-654 | B | 20 |
| 465-579 | C | 10 |
| 435-464 | D | 4 |
| Below 435 | F | 7 |
My two cents:
Experience has shown that the key to success is working smart. Here are
some ways that you can guarantee success in this
course:
|
Read the text as the material is covered (reading ahead is often
best) |
|
|
Be prepared to ask and answer questions about the material in
class. |
|
|
“The BEST way to learn Mathematics is to DO Mathematics.” Always
attempt problems before seeking help. |
|
|
Start the homework well in advance. Waiting until the last minute
is ALWAYS a bad idea. |
|
|
Expect to spend at least 10 hours a week on the homework/reading
(that’s 2 hours per hour of classtime). |
|
|
Form a study group to discuss problems but DON'T form "Copy
Sessions" |
|
|
Be an active learner. Practice Mathematical Skepticism. Don't
be afraid to ask "why?" or "how?" |
|
|
Take advantage of all available tools: Attend class regularly,
participate in class, visit office hours and always check for new announcements.
|
Quizzes and Solutions:
Quizzes will be given frequently throughout the semester and will be
administered near the end of the discussion section. There will be approximately
10 quizzes throughout the semester.
Each quiz will be worth 20 points and generally, there will be three
questions. Each quiz covers any material, including material covered in
Math 115, 140 and 141, taught before the quiz date. You will have approximately
15 minutes for each quiz. The solutions will be posted by noon (of the
quiz day). There will be no makeup quizzes . At the end of the term,
only the 5 highest quiz scores will be counted towards your quiz average.

MATLAB and Solutions:
There will be 5 MATLAB assignements throuhout the semester. Each MATLAB
assignment will be worth 25 points and the lowest grade will be dropped.
You are strongly encouraged to work in groups of three.
Groups of two are acceptable and groups of four require permission. To
obtain permission for such groups, email me before the assignment is due
(almost invariably, permission will be granted).
Before the first MATLAB assignment is due, there will be a MATLAB demonstration
during the discussion section.
Report Details
|
|
|
Each Group submits one MATLAB report. |
|
|
|
Published mfiles (new for MATLAB7) are preferred. |
|
|
|
When the MATLAB reports are collected, each group member will
also submit an Individual Effort Report. |
|
|
|
Late projects will be accepted with a 5 point deduction per
class period (i.e, if the report is due on Tuesday, A late "25" report will
earn 20 points if turned in by Thursday, 15 points by the following Tuesday,
etc.). |
|
|
|
Approximately one week after each MATLAB assignment due date,
I will post a model solution. After the model solution is posted, reports
will no longer be accepted. |
MATLAB Materials
Professor Rosenberg has compiled several MATLAB lessons,
demonstrations and mfiles for his sections of Math 241. Definitely

Supplementaries:
From time to time, I'll post supplementary Handouts. They are intended
to help you study for the midterms and the final exam. Many are summaries
of techniques used for the quizzes, while others are extra problem sets.
Occasionally, I will post review material (from previous courses) and
"tangentially speaking" handouts (which I discuss special topics). I strongly
encourage you to view these as well. I assure you that I won't spend time
preparing and posting anything that won't be beneficial to you.

Challenge Problem:
Throughout the semester, you will be given the opportunity to flex your
brain muscles by working on these challenge problems. The challenge problems
are closely related to the material being discussed in the course, though
they are always much more theoretical and/or require a little more thought
than the regular course material.
Rules of the Challenge Problem
There will be four challenge problems throughout the semester. While
there is no official deadline to submit solutions, A challenge problem will
close (that is, submissions will no longer be accepted) approximately one
week after a complete and correct solution is submitted. As soon as the
problem closes, I will post the correct solution. Since it is impossible
to tell when a correct solution will be submitted, it is best to submit
your solutions as soon as possible.
This is an individual effort. However, you may consult other
books or people (including classmates), as long as you acknowledge every
source used. Since it is sometimes difficult to differentiate original work
from duplicated work, if identical solutions are presented, neither solution
will be accepted. If your solution is rejected for this reason, you have
the option of resubmitting the solution (until the problem closes). Should
you need to resubmit a solution, your maximum point value decreases by 2
points (i.e. the second resubmission recieves up to 3 points, the third
up to 1 point).
Each challenge problem is worth up to 5 bonus quiz points.
In particular, the points earned through solving the challenge problems
can collectively replace a low quiz grade.
