\noindent {\bf Text:} Elementary Linear Algebra (7th Edition) by
Howard Anton. \\

\noindent
{\bf Quizzes, Exams and the Final:} Quizzes will be
given during the last 15-20 minutes of class on the following
dates:\\
\indent QUIZ 1: Monday, September 16 \\ 
\indent QUIZ 2: Wednesday, October 16 \\ 
\indent QUIZ 3: Monday, November 25  \\ 
\noindent The exams will be given in class on the following dates
and will take the whole class period:\\ 
\indent EXAM 1: Wednesday, September 25 \\ 
\indent EXAM 2: Friday, November 1 \\ 
\indent EXAM 3: Wednesday, December 4 \\ 
\noindent The final is 2 hours long and will take place on the
following date (location will be annouced later).
\\ \indent FINAL: Wednesday, December 18, 8 -- 10 am. \\ 

\noindent {\bf Grading:} The quizzes are worth 25 points, exams
100 points and the final 150. Your lowest quiz will be dropped.
The homework is worth 50 points. The exams and final will be
curved and a letter grade will be assigned accordingly.  The
course grade will be determined by curving the total number of
earned points out of the possible 550 points. The previous curves
will help determine the final curve.\\


\noindent {\bf Homework:} Homework will be assigned daily and due
the next class period.  If you miss a class it is still your
responsibility to find out the homework assignment and complete
it in time.  Each graded problem is worth 10 (homework) points.
(While not every problem will be graded, all the assigned
problems must be turned in.) Late unexcused homework assignments
will be accepted and graded at half the point value, at my
discretion.

There maybe some optional computer problems assigned for extra
credit.\\

\noindent {\bf Covered Material:}  

\indent EXAM 1: Chapters 1 and 2 \\
\indent EXAM 2:  Chapters 3, 4 and  5\\
\indent EXAM 3:  Chapters 6, 7 and 8\\
\indent FINAL:  All of the above chapters\\

\noindent We will not cover every section in every chapter.  We will let
you know exactly what material you are responsible for closer to
each exam. We will cover approximately a section a day.

%maybe have some option programming assignments -- like the demos
%in class each assignment is worth 10 pts and adds points to the
%total.
