Goal of the Course:
The goal of Math 3341 is to obtain a solid understanding of the
concepts of proofs related to Calculus materials and to be able to express this
understanding in written or spoken form, using correct language and
grammar.
By the end of the semester you will have acquired enough
knowledge to be able to read a mathematical proof
which will help to set up and solve problems which require
understanding and use of basic theorems of Analysis.
Required Reading: Calculus 3112 (Second semester).
The textbook is intended to be read. In
full .
Fair Warning: Treat each topic as if you were
meeting it for the first time, and be alert to make sure you
understand each day's material before the next class meeting.
Exams: There will be two in class exams. You will receive
at least six days notice of each exam date. You must notify me in
advance if it is necessary for you to miss an exam. The final exam
covers the entire course and will be held on Friday, May 9, 1:00PM-12:45
Quizes: Almost every week you will have a quize of ten to fifteen
minutes.
Attendance Policy: Punctual attendance at all class meetings is
a requirement for the course. The roll will be checked randomly.
More than six unexcused absences will see you
dropped from the class with an F grade. Unexcused late arrivals or
early departures will count as unexcused absences.
Drop Policy.The class schedule lists Friday, February
21as the last day to drop with an automatic "W", while
faculty-initiated coursedrops are possible until Friday, April
18. The instructor usually assigns a "W" for students dropping the
course prior to this deadline. After the deadline, the course cannot be
dropped.
Course Grade: At the end of the semester you will have
percentage scores for:
- each of your two in class exams.
- your Final exam.
- your quizes
- your Projects
The in class exams count 40%, the final exam will count 50% and the
quizes will count 10% towards your overall class average.
Help: There is plenty of help available to you provided you are willing to
take advantage of it. Specially this semester, we will make use of the
internet to get organized help. This is specially interesting for
students who can not work with groups on Campus.
Besides my office hours I will gladly meet with you on a drop in
basis any time I am free to do so. Talk to me before or after class
or by phone or by
email to set up an appointment.
General remark:
If you have problems with the course
material, need to be absent for a
test, or have any other circumstance that may affect your performance
in the course, contact me
as soon as possible. I will do everything I can to enable you
to succeed in this course and I expect you to be as diligent in your
efforts as I am in mine.
