Math 114 - FALL, 2003		GENERAL INFORMATION

TEXTBOOK: Calculus, 4th or 5th Ed., by James Stewart
We will cover roughly Chap. 1-5 plus Appendix A-D.
The only difference between the two editions is exercise.

HOMEWORK: Homework is assigned each week and due the next Friday. You
may either turn in your homework in class or put it in the assignment
box.

GRADING: Your grade in this course is based on homework, one midterm
and one final. I use the following formula to calculate your total score
       max(15% homework + 35% mid + 50% final,
	   30% mid + 70% final)
In English, I will take the sum of 20% homework, 30% midterm and 50%
final or the sum of 30% midterm and 70% final, whichever is higher, as
your total score. Your course grade is determined by a curve, roughly,
30% A, 30% B and 30% C.

EXAMS: No books and notes are allowed in exams. You may use a calculator.
You should bring a photo ID to all exams.
