Text: Chaos, by James Gleick.
Homework: There will be regular homework assignments. Homework can be handed in during class or put in the envelope outside my office door. Graded homework can be picked up any time from the other envelope there. Homework can be redone and handed in again, if done promptly (ie, within a few days). The graders reserve the right not to accept redone homework that is too late.
Schedule: The daily schedule of the course is at www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/adurfee/f06/math125/math125-sch.htm.
Grader: Michele Patton (mbpatton)
Technology: You will need a calculator for this course, one that does logarithms. We will also be using web-based computer programs.
Tests and Quizzes There will be two tests and a self-scheduled final exam. They will be announced in advance. If you are unable to take a test for any reason, you should let me beforehand. (You may call my answering machine at x2299 at any time, day or night.) They can always be taken early. Tests taken late for reasons other than illness will have points deducted from your score.
Grading: Each test is 80 points, the final examination is 80 points, and the homework is 100 points. Each quiz is about 10 points. The lowest quiz score will be dropped.
