*I do take attendance and give bonus points based on attendance*
Note: When submitting assignments, you will be using a great deal of mathematical notation. Although there is an equation editor in Microsoft Word and other similar software, if you prefer to type your assignments, I strongly recommend using the LaTeX typesetting package. LaTeX is free, and while there are many different editors, I recommend using http://www.overleaf.com. Handwritten (neatly!) assignments will also be accepted.
Unexcused late assignments will carry a penalty of 10 points taken off per day late. If you require accommodations due to emergency/illness/etc., please contact me ASAP.

In this class we will welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, gender expressions, national origins, religious affiliations, sexual orientations, ability, and other visible and non-visible differences. All members of the class are expected to uphold a commitment to a respectful and inclusive environment for all members of the class. Please do not hesitate to reach out for assistance or accommodation with any of these or any other topics.
