Calculators: An ordinary calculator elementary arithmentic (that can do addition, multiplication, and divisions of numbers) is recommended. You will be allowed to use calculators for elementary arithmetic only on exams.
A graphing calculator is NOT required for this course. If you are comfortable using a graphing or scientific calculator, you may find it useful for checking your homework. However, advanced calculator capability (graphing, linear algebra) will not be allowed during exams, so it is not a good idea to become entirely dependent on your graphing calculator when doing the homework problems.
Academic Honesty: Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or collaboration, consult the instructor. The University has specific academic dishonesty administrative procedures. In particular, it is NEVER PERMISSIBLE to copy the work of other students on exams. In this class, all homework is to be done individually. (You may have other classes where collaboration on homework or projects is allowed, but it is not allowed in Math 60.)
Accommodations For Students With Disabilities: If you have a disability and need accommodations (for example, extended testing time, notetakers, large print materials), please inform your instructor privately as soon as possible. In most circumstances, students with disablilities seeking academic accommodations should also register with the Access Office, A048 Brady Commons, 882-4696. As necessary, the Access Office will review documentation about your disability and about the need for accommodations you are requesting. The Access Office will then assist in planning for any necessary accommodations.
Communication Problem Statement: If you have any problem with this course, please report it to Professor Stamatis Dostoglou either by phone (882-7783) or by e-mail stamatis@math.missouri.edu
Schedule: The schedule may be slightly updated as the semester progresses, updates will be announced in class. The date of the most recent update is listed at the top of the syllabus. You can bookmark the internet address at the top of this page.
