Instructor: Professor Alexander Hahn.  
Office: Computer Center and Mathematics Building, Room 370.

Request:  On Wednesday January 21 please turn in the following on one page with your 
name in capital letters: a good Xerox copy of a photograph (e.g. 3 by 5) of yourself, a list 
of all the college level math courses you have had, and some convenient time slots at which 
we can schedule office hours. 

Text:  Chapters 9Ð11 and parts of 14 of the Notes Basic Calculus: From Archimedes to 
Newton to its Role in Science.  These notes will be available in the bookstore.

Examinations:  
	Quizzes: One quiz every 2 weeks. Normally two problems (one of which will 
		usually be routine and the other more challenging)
	Midterm: Wednesday, March 4 (in class)
	Final:  In the week of May 4Ð8 (details to be announced)  
	Note:  The University Honor Code applies to all of the above. 

Homework:  There will be a problem set due every Friday with the final write up to be 
turned in on the following Monday.  The problems will be discussed on Friday (usually the 
most difficult ones, for which hints will be given) and I will ask for volunteers to present 
solutions on the board.  Such presentations will receive extra credit (depending on their 
quality).  The homework will be subject to the following rules (to which the Honor Code 
applies):  Until Friday's class you are to work on the homework on your own, but 
thereafter you are encouraged to collaborate.  However, on Monday you can only submit 
what you fully understand and everything that you submit must be your own work and 
write up.
