Communication Our main and most important way to communicate is piazza.com. The advantage of this forum is that anyone of this course has access to questions and answers that might come up in the course. I will mentor and guide these questions, provide answers if not already done by other students, and post information that is relevant for the course. Before emailing me with a question you should log in to the forum, check if that question might have already been asked by somebody else and then start a new thread. That way anybody who follows profits from this open discussion.

Homework:Homework will be assigned weekly via Webassign. The correct website to login to is www.webassign.net/washington/login. In order to have access you have to purchase a login code. Check the syllabus on piazza for details.

Exams: You may use a scientific calculator. Graphing/programmable calculators and other electronic devices will not be allowed.

Midterm (Section A and E) Wednesday, 11/04 in lecture

Grading: Your grade will be determined by:

The final grade translates as follows: 70% are necessary for 2.0 and 92% are sufficient for a 4.0.
