CPSC 303 Course Policy Page, Fall 2019

This page concerns CPSC 303 Section 201.

Grading Scheme	The course grade is computed as: 0.55 f + 0.35 max(f,m) + 0.10 max(f,m,h) where f,m,h are the grades on, respecitively, the final exam, midterm exam, and homework, after any scaling of the exams; your three lowest homework scores are dropped in the overall homework computation.
Midterm	The midterm will be held during class hours on Wednesday, March 11, 2019. Location TBA. I will give only one midterm and only one final during the semester. Please make sure you do not make plans (travel, work, etc.) without regard for the midterm and final dates; also, do not make such plans assuming that the preliminary exam schedule will not change (it sometimes changes).
Prerequisites and Background	The prerequisites for this course are given here; they include some differential and integral calculus, some linear algebra, and some computer science. Part of the course will teach you some mathematical concepts beyond the prerequisites, so you should feel very comfortable with calculus. We will spend roughly half the course on Chapters 14-16 of the textbook (numerical differentiation and integration, and numerically solving ODE's and PDE's).
Homework Policy	You may work together on homework, but you must write up your own solutions individually. You must acknowledge with whom you worked. You must also acknowledge any sources you have used beyond the textbook and the articles on the class website.
