TEXT:	"Introduction to Probability and its Applications" by Richard L.
Scheaffer.

You are encouraged to read each section before it is covered.  You are expected
to bring the text to each class.  To do well you must keep up with the homework
and review frequently.

SYLLABUS:	We expect to cover most of the book.

EXAMINATIONS:  There will be three tests, all at the regular class time, and a
final exam.


TEST I		Friday, February 4     (in class) TEST II		Wednesday, March 2
 (in class) TEST III		Wednesday, April 6    (in class)
FINAL		Thursday, May 5  (8 - 10 a.m.)


Test problems will be multiple choice and will be similar to lecture examples and
homework problems.


GRADING:    The three tests and final exam will be corrected and graded
uniformly.  Each of the  three tests will be worth 100 points, and the final will
be worth 150 points.  Each homework assignment will be graded, and the homework
total will then be scaled so that it is worth 50 points.  Letter grades will be
based on total points out of the 500 possible.


HOMEWORK:   Homework will be assigned almost every class and is due at the end of
the next class.  Homework will be accepted one class period late, but not after
that.  Before you begin an assignment you should carefully work through both the
examples done in class and those in the text.


ABSENCE FROM EXAMINATIONS:	A student who is absent from an examination without
an official excuse shall receive a grade of zero for that examination.  A student
who is officially excused shall not be penalized.  If you miss a test for any
reason, you should call your instructor or the Mathematics Department as soon as
possible.


PROBLEM SESSIONS:     Problem sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in room 326 comp/math bldg.  These will be conducted by 
Mr. Wu, the TA for the course.


HONOR CODE:     Testing will be done under the Honor Code.  On homework, you are
allowed and encouraged to work together, but what you hand in should not be
merely copied.
