Follow this link for advice from another professor about how to study for a mathematics exam. Not everything applies verbatim to our class, but he gives a lot of good advice.
The final exam for this course is scheduled for Saturday, 12/17/2011 at 4:00-6:00pm. Room assignments:
Last updated on 09/04/12.
Note: The links in the reading schedule are for any available lecture notes, and the occasional external website. The lecture notes are scanned PDFs. I compress them before posting them on the website, which reduces their file size to less than 5% of the original (!) but does tend to make them fuzzy. (Let me know if something is too hard to read.) They should suffice for double-checking something in your notes, but I wouldn't recommend trying to read them as your primary source of information for the course.

All of the instructors in Math 3283W have agreed to hold common office hours, meaning you can attend any teaching assistant's office hours, regardless of which section of the class you are in. Besides Professor Rogness, whose office is in Vincent 4, the instructors are as follows
Use the calendar below to find office hours which fit your schedule. (If you are viewing this page early in the morning or late at night, you may need to scroll up or down to find the scheduled office hours.)
Exams 1 amd 2 will be held in the regular lecture room on the dates listed in the syllbus. The date of the third midterm has been changed to Friday, 12/9/2011, with rooms as described via email and announced in class.
These have been typed up fairly quickly; I've asked TAs to check for any errors, but let me know if you spot any and we'll get them corrected as soon as possible.
Update: I fixed a typo in the solutions to Problem 1 on the second midterm; the correct version uses g(x)=|x|+1.
We record your numeric scores, not letter grades, but to give you an idea of how you're doing in the class I will post approximate after exams. If the A line is 90, that means 90 is the lowest score in the A range, so it's the lowest A-. 89 would be the highest B+ in that situation.
| Exam 1 | Exam 2 | Exam 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 90 | 80 | 90 |
| B | 80 | 64 | 80 |
| C | 70 | 44 | 60 |
| D | 60 | 37 | 50 |
