              Quizzes and Homework
              Onehomeworkassignmentisgivenperweekonthelecturematerial. Homework is due in the ¯rst TA section
              in the following week. Your TA will tell you which problems to hand in; you are not expected to do all
              the problems (there are too many) but you should read them all and make sure that you can do each one
              if asked. During the TA section following the one in which homework is due, your TA will give you a quiz
              covering the homework you turned in during the previous class. In other words, your Week 1 homework is
              due during the ¯rst TA section in Week 2 (usually Tuesday), and a quiz on the homework material is given
              during the next class (usually Thursday).
              Exams
              There will be two in-class exams, an evening exam, and one ¯nal exam. Makeup exams are not normally
              given.
                 Calculators may not be used on exams: they are not needed since you will not be penalized for not doing
              arithmetic. (An answer like 2+3 is acceptable, but an answer like 2+3 = 6 will be penalized.) The purpose
              is to encourage you to avoid messy calculations and express your answer in a form that is easy to follow.
                 Exams will be closed book: you will not be allowed any notes. If you understand why a formula is true,
              you will ¯nd it easier to remember.
              Grading
                                                Exam 1 (Sections 1.5 - 3.5)             15%
                                                Exam 2 (Sections 3.6 - 4.7)             20%
                                                Exam 3 (Sections 5.1 - 5.8)             15%
                                                Final (Cumulative)                      30%
                                                Quizzes                                 10%
                                                Homework, E®ort and Attendance          10%
                 Even though the midterm exams stress the indicated sections does not mean they are not cumulative;
              problems appearing later in the course may use concepts taught earlier.
                 Thelowesttwoquizscoreswillbediscarded-therewillbenomakeupsforquizzes. Halfofyourhomework
              score is determined by how much of the assignment you turn in, the other half by the correctness of one
              problem graded by your TA. The lowest three homework scores will be dropped - no late homework will be
              accepted.
                                                                      2
                It is guaranteed that a score of 80% on any exam is at least a B. It is guaranteed that 80% of the
                questions on an exam will consist of either homework problems or problems from any handouts
                which might be distributed during the semester.
           Ethics
           Students are encouraged to work on their homework problems in groups. Sharing or copying of answers on
           the quizzes or exams is considered cheating, and it will be dealt with harshly. Students caught cheating will
           be given a grade of “F” in the course and will be subject to disciplinary action by the University.
           Prerequisites
           You should be familiar with co-ordinates, equations of lines, slope of lines, and functions and graphs, as
           explained in sections 1-1 through 1-6 of the text. You should be familiar with trigonometry (this is reviewed
           in section 2-9 and 6-2 of the text). You should also have seen exponentials and logarithms so that the
           formulas
                                                   x
                                              y = a ,   x=loga(y)
           (they are equivalent) are familiar to you. (This will be reviewed in chapter 6.) If this material is unfamiliar
           to you then you may not be ready for calculus. The handout What you need to know to take Calculus 221
           is reproduced on my web page. There are three work shops given early in the semester which you should
           attend if you are unsure of what you are expected to know. The workshop schedule is available online at:
                http://www.math.wisc.edu/~tprogram/mathhelp.html
           Getting Help
           If you are having di±culty, ¯rst talk to your TA or Lecturer. If you cannot come to the scheduled o±ce
           hours, make an appointment to see either at a di®erent time. Here are some other places you can get help:
           MATHLAB
           The Math Lab is an especially good place to go if you have a quick homework question; more detailed
           questions are probably better directed to your TA.
           Location: B227 Van Vleck Hall (across from the Mathematics Library).
           Hours: Monday through Thursday, 3:30 - 5:10 pm, and 6:30 - 8:10pm.
           Dates: Starting the second week of classes (usually), through the end of the semester.
           Cost: Free.
           You can ¯nd a link to the Web page for this program at

           PRIVATE TUTORING
           The Mathematics Department publishes a list of Mathematics graduate students who are willing to tutor
           students; copies are available on the second °oor of Van Vleck Hall, next to the elevators. According to
           Math Department policy, TA’s are not supposed to tutor in courses they are teaching.
           Location: Varies; many tutors will meet in Van Vleck Hall; some will meet o®-campus.
           Cost: Fees vary from tutor to tutor; typical costs are $15 to $25 per hour.
                                                        3
            MATHBOARD
            The Math Board is a wooden board with slots labeled for many of the department’s mathematics courses
             (101 through 632); interested students can ¯ll out a card with information about themselves (name, course,
            instructor, contact information), and put that card in the slot that matches their course. Students can also
             read the cards that have been placed into the various slots, and use the information from the cards to contact
            one another to set up study groups, etc.
             Location: The Math Board is on the second basement level of Van Vleck, just opposite room B207.
            Cost: Free.
            GUTS
                                                     1                                                      2
            The Greater University Tutoring Service is run by the Student Union using student volunteers.     GUTS
            Tutorial provides help in a wide variety of courses from which thousands of students bene¯t every year.
             Their two programs, Academic Match and Drop-In, o®er FREE tutoring help in courses including all levels
            of math, chemistry, physics, foreign language, and many other subjects. The Academic Match program
             matches students that need help in the same course in a weekly, small group setting with a volunteer peer
            tutor who is knowledgeable in the coursework. The Drop-In Program o®ers volunteer tutors at various
             locations around the UW campus, such as Helen C. White Library and the MSC. Students can drop in to
            any of these centers for immediate help at a time that their subject of concern is being tutored. Students
             interested in getting a tutor, being a tutor, or just hearing more about GUTS’ services can drop by our
            o±ce. We are located in room 302A Union South, and the o±ce is open Mondays-Thursdays from 11-5 pm.
             Students can also check us out on the web at http://guts.studentorg.wisc.edu.
            Location: The GUTS o±ce is in 302A Union South (263-5666); their tutoring sessions are held in a variety
                  of campus locations (Helen C. White Library, Gordon Commons, Kronshage Hall).
            Hours: Vary, but typically 5-11pm Sunday through Thursday evenings.
            Dates: Starting the third Sunday of each semester.
            Cost: Free.
            MATHEMATICSTUTORIALPROGRAM
            The Mathematics Tutorial Program helps students who, without the structure and support given, would
             not be successful in their current class. In particular, the Tutorial Program works with returning students,
            students who have not taken a math class in several years, students who are repeating a class, and students
             from groups that are under represented in mathematics and sciences. Because resources are limited, not all
            students who apply can be accepted. The Tutorial Program is often forced to judge whether a student is
             able to maintain a passing grade without its help using the resources available to all students. To apply to
            the Tutorial Program during the ¯rst three weeks of classes, see its Director Claire Rider in 321 VV. After
             the third week of classes, a referral from your instructor, advisor, or dean is necessary. The URL for the
            home page for the Mathematics Tutorial Program is
                  http://www.math.wisc.edu/~tprogram/
            ACADEMICADVISING
            The advisors in the O±ce Of Student Academic A®airs in the College of Letters and Science can assist
             students educational and career planning, help with personal problems, explain regulations and require-
            ments, and make suggestions for improving study techniques. Go to 104 South Hall or call 262-5858 for an
             appointment. You can also call Dial-a-Dean at 262-2644.
