Overview of the Course:

The course will cover selected material in Preliminaries, Appendices I-III, and Chapters 1-13 in Calculus. Perhaps the most important single part of the course is carrying out the assignments, and the quiz problems are based on the assignments.

Method of Evaluation:

20% quizzes (approximately one every two weeks)

20% 1st Midterm Test - Friday, November 3, 2006, 7 pm.

20% 2nd Midterm Test - Friday, February  9, 2007, 7 pm.

40% Final Exam - April Examination Period

Examinations will be closed book. No computational aids will be permitted.

Missing Quizzes and Exams:

Missing an exam or quiz will result in a grade of zero for that exam or quiz, unless permission is granted from the Associate Dean of Engineering. If permission is granted, a prorated mark will be assigned. There will be no makeups for quizzes or midterms.

Registration in Tutorials and Lecture Sections

Students will not receive credit for writing quizzes in tutorial sessions in which they are not registered. Each tutorial session is linked to a particular lecture section and quizzes will be set according to the instructor of that section. You are expected to know which lecture section and tutorial section you are registered in and to attend both.

                                                                                                                                                 

Addendum to all Applied Mathematics Course Outlines

The UWO Senate Academic Handbook has specified that the following points should be added to all course outlines:

1. Plagiarism: Students must write their essays and assignments in their own words. Whenever students take an idea, or a passage from another author, they must acknowledge their debt both by using quotation marks where appropriate and by proper referencing such as footnotes or citations. Plagiarism is a major academic offence (see Scholastic Offence Policy in the Western (Academic Calendar).

2. Plagiarism Checking: The University of Western Ontario uses software for plagiarism checking. Students may be required to submit their written work and programs in electronic form for plagiarism checking.

3. Prerequisites for a course: Unless you have either the requisites for this course or written special permission from your Dean to enroll in it, you will be removed from this course and it will be deleted from your record. This decision may not be appealed. You will receive no adjustment to your fees in the event that you are dropped from a course for failing to have the necessary prerequisites.

4. If computer-marked multiple-choice tests and/or exams are given: Use may be made of software to check for unusual coincidences in answer patterns that may indicate cheating.
