Homework: Is due on Tuesday's and Friday's at 2pm. Turn it in to the mailbox marked "ma10 Ulfarsson" in the Mathematics Department. Here are a few do's and dont's of homework:
  • Write your name clearly on top of the first page and list the course: ma0100.
  • Staple your homework - don't turn it in in a folder.
  • Try to order your solutions to the problems in the order in which they were given.
  • You don't need to write up the the problem or question itself, but you can if you want.
  • Write legibly and leave free space around your problems - don't try to jam everything on one page. You can write on both sides of the page or only on one side.
  • Don't skip big steps and try to explain what you are doing - don't just write formulas.
  • Leave your answers in closed form, i.e., write 1/3 instead of 0.3333..., write π instead of 3.1415... .
  • If you arrive at more than one final answer for a given problem, turn in only one.
  • Don't use a red pen, since the grader will be using a red pen.
Note that "having the wrong answer" is not in the list above. You can turn in problems with an answer you think is wrong (or know is wrong) or problems where you are unable to arrive at an answer - and still earn points.

Tom Leinster has a very good summary of common calculus mistakes. Please read it.

The Grading: Each problem is worth 10 points. The grading is not done by me, but by a grader whose name is usually not revealed to the students for various reasons. If you have a problem with the grading then come to me, I will have a look at it and contact the grader if necessary.

See the Week-by-week for what is due each week.

For the Grader:The homework will be due on Tuesdays and Fridays at 2pm, in the mailbox marked "ma10 Ulfarsson" in the Mathematics Department. It should be graded and returned to my mailbox so it can be returned to the students before they turn in their next homework. I.e., Tuesday's homework should be returned before class on Friday and Friday's homework should be returned before class on Tuesday.

The grades should be recorded (by the grader) in an Excel sheet (provided by me) which get's emailed to me when Friday's homework has been graded.

Each problem in the homework sets is worth ten points. This is also true for the bonus problems (marked (*##*)). So if a problem set has x regular problems and y bonus problems and a student gets every problem right then he/she would get 10(x+y) points. The scaled score will then be calculated by multiplying by 100/10x.

I'd prefer to grade the final with the help of the grader.
