Syllabus |
The text for our course is Numerical
Analysis: Seventh Edition, by Burden & Faires
We
will cover parts of chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Please examine our textbook to get a better
idea of what we will be covering. As the assignments are added to the
homework web page the exact sections that we will cover will be determined. |
|
Assignments |
The exams are
designed to determine if students have done the assignments. Some problems on
the exams will be assignment problems or slightly changed assignment
problems. Your instructor believes that if a topic is covered in class or in
the assignments then this topic should appear on exams
|
|
Calculators |
Although your
instructor usually does not permit calculators to be used on exams in his
courses, the numerical nature of this course makes it necessary for students
to use calculators. There probably will be questions on exams for which
calculator use will be prohibited, and on these questions hand calculations
must be shown explicitly.

|
Attendance |
"You are
expected to be here for every class. Coming late and leaving early should
occur rarely since it is impolite and distracting to the entire class.
However, it is better to be tardy than not to come at all. If you are tardy,
please enter as quietly as possible and sit near the entrance. If you have to
leave early for any reason, please let me know ahead of time and sit near the
exit." |

Disabilities |
If you are a
student with a disability and think that you might need special assistance or
a special accommodation in this class or any other class, call the Office for
Students with Disabilities/College Access Program at 755-4006 or come by the
office, 110 Frist Hall. Examples of disabilities
are blindness/low vision, communication disorders, deafness/hearing
impairments, emotional/psychological disabilities, learning disabilities, and
other health impairments. |
|
UTC Honor Code |
Your
instructor has had to turn in a number of students to the honor court for
cheating. This is usually devastating to the student. It is particularly
important during exams to not communicate with other students, but
communication with your instructor is expected if questions on the exam
confuse you or if you believe a question has a typo or some other kind of
error.
