Mathematics 310A        Winter 2005

Announcements:

• The final exam took place on Monday, March 14. Average and median are both about 54 out of 75 (which is 72%).
• I am sending course grades by email. Some of my interpretations of those grades:
  • 4.0: Very few people got this grade, so if you did, you should be very happy. You are ready to take any 400-level math course, and you have a talent for mathematics.
  • Between 3.2 and 3.9: About a third of the class did this well. You should do okay with more advanced math courses, but expect to have to work hard.
  • 2.0: Many of the 400-level math courses will be a real struggle for you. If you take them, you will need to work really hard to even have a chance at scraping by.

Homework and reading:

• Old homework, reading, and quizzes, including some solutions.

Course material, links:

• My office hours: Monday 1:30-2:30, Tuesday 10:30-11:30, in Padelford C-538.
