Exams: There will be three hour tests and one final comprehensive exam. If for any reason you can not take a test at the scheduled time, please let me know as soon as possible, and certainly before the test. See schedule for exam dates. Solutions to past exams will be posted there in the future.
Class attendance is strongly encouraged. In addition to new material, important course information will be given in class, sometimes handouts will be given.
There will be weekly homework due Monday by 1pm. You may only submit up to 3
homeworks late (but not later than on Wednesday of the same week the homework is due, at the beginning of class).
The late homework Wednesday 8:00 am deadline is firm because I return graded papers and sometimes hand out solutions
on Wednesday. But if you are sick and unable to come to campus, please notify me and ask for a longer extension.
You should write a complete solution, with all necessary proofs (and specific examples and counterexamples when
appropriate) for each problem. Unsupported answers may receive zero credit. All proofs must be rigorous (use the style
of proofs in the book).
Extra Help: It is essential not to fall behind, because each class may use the material studied previously. If you have trouble with some material, seek help in the following ways:
Students with disabilities: upon identifying themselves to the University, students with disabilities will receive necessary accommodation for learning and evaluation. For more information, see http://studentaffairs.csufresno.edu/ssd
Academic honesty: cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in this class. For information on the University's policy, see the University Catalog (section Policies and Regulations).
Subject to Change: This syllabus and schedule are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check on announcements made while you were absent.
