Hi everyone,
Due to a number of factors (we one day behind the syllabus, Spring Break and Exam 3 timing, etc), I am making some minor changes to the class calendar – rearranging topics over the next few lectures. The remaining material in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 will be put off for a week or so, and tomorrow we will dive into Chapter 7 – Power Series (we’ll spend the next week or so working on this chapter). See the most current schedule here. Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Prof. Reitz
I have a conflicting commitment in the Math Department. However, I should be able to be in class a few minutes early if you have questions.
See you in a bit,
Prof. Reitz
Hi everyone,
Looking through this assignment, I see that the first 3 problems ask about the “characteristic polynomial,” which we have not yet discussed in class. We will discuss this concept on Tuesday (it is not difficult), but in the meantime you should be able to solve problems 4-8 on this assignment.
Regards,
Prof. Reitz
Hi everyone,
Because we are running slightly behind the class calendar, I am pushing back the second exam by 1 week. The new date for the second exam is Tuesday, April 2nd. A review sheet will be provided at least one week in advance.

Prof. Reitz
Hi everyone,
Your Midsemester Grades are posted under Dashboard/GradeBook).
What is this for?
These grades are not entered into the transcript, but serve as important guidance to students and an opportunity to review their progress in the course. – Provost August
The grades are based on work completed so far:
- WeBWorK performance (weighted 35%)
- the first OpenLab assignment (weighted 15%)
- Exam 1 (weighted 50%)
The grading scheme is as follows:
- P=Passing work
- BL= Borderline
- U=Unsatisfactory
- SA=Stopped Attending
NOTE: For those of you that decide to take advantage of the EXAM 1 SPECIAL OFFER, your score on Exam 1 may change. This, in turn, may affect your standing in the course. Feel free to ask me for an updated Midsemester Grade after the SPECIAL OFFER is returned.
Heads up: The last day to drop the class with a “W” grade is April 1st. If you decide to drop, it is *much* better to do so before that date (but you should be aware of any financial aid impact that dropping a class may have). Please let me know if you wish to discuss it.
