INSTRUCTOR: Andy Long. Office: ST 328; phone: 572-5794; email: longa@nku.edu
MEETING TIME/PLACE: TR 6:15PM-7:30PM ST 247
EXPECTED BACKGROUND: C or better in MAT 224.
TEXT: Elementary Number Theory, 5th Edition, Burton (McGraw Hill).
GRADING: There will be three exams and a comprehensive final. Homework will be assigned regularly and handed in for grading.
Your course grade will be determined as follows: |
|
The tests will be given in class, closed book. Make-up exams will not be given except in extreme circumstances. |
HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned regularly. You should expect to do a lot of homework in order to do well in the course. Each homework assignment will be handed in, generally two class periods after it is assigned, so that a few homework problems (chosen at random) may be graded. Hence, exercises assigned on a Monday would generally be due a week later on the next Monday (barring holidays, etc.)
ATTENDANCE: The student is responsible for all material assigned or discussed in class. Attendance will be taken, and may be used along with class effort (as measured by participation - asking questions, answering other students' questions, group work, etc.) to resolve borderline grades.
WITHDRAWAL: The last day to withdraw from any class is 3/27/2006 with a "W". After that day it is not usually permitted.
OFFICE HOURS: MW 1:00-2:00 pm, 7:00pm-7:45pm; TR 7:30-8:00. I am also available by appointment, and at random when approached with a smile.
