General information about this course may be found at the Math Department's course page. Information specific to the sections C1 will be posted on the course canvas site.
Homework and Quizzes: Homework problems will be assigned
at each lecture from the list posted at the course Canvas site.
You are responsible for
completing all assigned problems in a timely fashion.
Only select homework problems will be collected (through Gradescope) for grading, and there will be
frequent short quizzes based on the homework problems. The quizzes will
often be given via Canvas. There will be no make-up
for quizzes.
MATLAB Assignments:
There will be 6 MATLAB assignments. The assignments,
as well as instructions for downloading MATLAB to your personal computers or
for accessing MATLAB in Rutgers Computing Labs, are posted on the
the Math Department's course page.
You should familiarize yourself with MATLAB and with our MATLAB assignments submission requirements
by going through the demo assignment (Lab0) and the tutorials posted at the link above.
Submission of MATLAB assignments will be through our course Canvas Matlab Submission site.
Attendance and Make-up Policy: Class attendance is expected. Poor attendance will be used to decide borderline grade situations. Any changes to the syllabus, homework assignment and any announcement for the midterms and final exam will be made in the lectures. There will be no make-ups for quizzes. A make-up midterm will be given only if you have a valid reason such as serious illness (not a slight cold) or a family emergency, and provide an acceptable, written excuse (not an email message), or you will receive a grade of zero. If possible (particularly if you want to be sure that your excuse is an acceptable one), contact me before missing an exam.
Your grade will be determined by the following weights:
The final exam is scheduled 8am--11am, Wednesday, May 8, according to the Rutgers final exam schedule site.
