MATH 355 Calendar / Syllabus

Grades: The total number of points available on tests and homework is 500 = 100(homeworks) + 2×100(tests) + 200(final exam). The two in-class tests are scheduled for Tue, Sep 16 and Tue, Nov 04. The final exam is at Tue, Dec 16, 11:00am–1:00pm. More points — higher grade.
