the use of Pearson's MyMathLab. Exams: There will be two exams. The midterm
will be one hour long, taken in class on Monday, October 10. The end-of-term
exam is also one hour long, taken in class on Monday, December 5. Reading/Homework: Read the sections we cover in class
immediately before or after each lecture. Homework problems from the text
will be assigned on the MyMathLab website. The
assignments will be generally due on Wednesdays. Here is a copy of the registration

based on the total score obtained from homework and exam scores weighted
according to the following scheme:
The last day of class is Monday, December 12. The following information is added to satisfy the Minimum
