Welcome to Section 1 of Math 330!

You will learn in this course how to think like a mathematician. Your goal will be to understand the nature of a rigorous mathematically proof and how to write such proofs. The subject matter used to teach you this will be primarily taken from the theory of number systems. You will find more detail in the syllabus.

Exams:

There will be two exams and one final exam. No notes, books, cell phones, or laptops are allowed for tests. Each standard exam will last 50 minutes and is worth 100 points. Make an effort to show up 10 minutes early for those exams so they can start on time.

Make all arrangements necessary to take the tests at those dates. The times and dates are non-negotiable.

Final exam:

The final exam counts for 200 points and it will last two hours.

Date and time for all finals are set by the registrar and there is no flexibility. Do not make travel arrangements that will have you leave campus prior to the exam. You can request a makeup final only if you have another final at the same time (direct conflict) or you have three final exams scheduled within 24 hours. If you want to request to take the alternate final then you must do so before Thursday, May 5 by sending me an email.
