University
Policy Concerning Honesty by Students
Quoted
From the Student Conduct Code (This is an older version. Check the University's
Web site for revisions.)
Academic
Integrity
A
fundamental tenet of all educational institutions is academic honesty; academic
work depends upon respect for and acknowledgement of the research and ideas of
others. Misrepresenting someone else's work as one's own is a serious offense
in any academic setting and it will not be condoned.
Academic
misconduct includes, but is not limited to, providing or receiving assistance
in a manner not authorized by the instructor in the creation of work to be
submitted for academic evaluation (e.g. papers, projects, and examinations);
any attempt to influence improperly (e.g. bribery, threats) any member of the
faculty, staff, or administration of the University in any matter pertaining to
academics or research; presenting, as one's own, the ideas or words of another
for academic evaluation; doing unauthorized academic work for which another
person will receive credit or be evaluated; and presenting the same or
substantially the same papers or projects in two or more courses without the
explicit permission of the instructors involved.
A student
who knowingly assists another student in committing an act of academic
misconduct shall be equally accountable for the violation, and shall be subject
to the sanctions and other remedies described in The Student Code.
Text: Finite Mathematics and Its
Applications, Custom edition (based on the ninth edition)
Authors: Larry Goldstein, David Schneider,
and Martha Siegel
Publisher: Prentice-Hall
Content:
In addition to a
brief review of the
algebra of systems of linear equations, the course consists of introductions
to these areas of mathematics:
the mathematics of finance, matrices,
input-output analysis, maximizing or minimizing linear functions of two or more
variables subject to linear inequality constraints, sophisticated counting, and
mathematical probability.
Grading: There will be eight or nine brief
quizzes, three fifty-minute exams, and a two-hour comprehensive
final exam. Each instructor will write quizzes (or group worksheets or
projects) for his/her classes, while the course coordinators will write the
exams for all of our sections.
Calculators are required for some of the work
of the course. Our textbook has tutorials on using certain graphing calculators
to carry out some of the tasks we deal with. But students should be aware that they
and not their
calculators are being examined during the various tests, and they should not
rely on the calculator as a crutch. Please work hard to learn the methods we
teach you.

NOTES
Sections 1,6,8,10,15 through 22 are under the direct supervision of Prof Leibowitz. They will therefore have different exams, (probably) given on different days and different times with different grading schemes.
