Important notices:

Math 2J is a prerequisite for this course. This will change next quarter, so if you haven't taken 2J you should wait until next quarter to take 3A.

You are responsible for all material covered in lectures and discussion sections, and on the homework. If you miss a class, get notes from a classmate.


Important dates:

There will be one in-class midterm, on Monday, February 11.

The final exam is on Wednesday, March 20, 1:30-3:30pm.


Grading:

Homework is due on Tuesdays, at the beginning of the discussion section. You must show your work on the homework. Late homework will not be accepted. The lowest homework score will be dropped.

The quizzes will be given in the discussion section every Tuesday beginning January 15, except February 12 (midterm week). The quizzes will be very closely based on the homework problems. There will be no make-up quizzes. The lowest quiz score will be dropped.
