- Textbook
(Click here for course outline)
-
Math 281 Course Reader by O. Nielsen and D. Norman;
available at the Queen's bookstore.
Several other introductory texts on the theory of real variables
have been put on course reserve in the Douglas Engineering & Science Library.
These may be used as additional reference material for the course.
- Prerequisites
-
MATH 120 or MATH 280, or other previous exposure to limits and continuity.
- Homework Assignments
- There will be 10 homework assignments, due on Fridays in class.
Late homeworks will NOT be accepted.
Students are allowed to work on and hand in assignments in teams of
up to three members. Members of the same team will get
the same marks.
Assignment #1 will be due on Friday, January 16,
and Assignment #10 will be due on Friday, April 3.
There will be no assignment due on the week of the midterm.
Homework assignments will be posted here.
No paper copies will be handed out.
Solutions to the assignments will be posted on the
homeworks page
immediately after the assignment due dates.
- Midterm Test
- Will be held on Friday, February 27, in class.
See the announcements page
for more information.
Solutions to the midterm.
If a student is unable to write the midterm on the above date, or needs
to make alternative arrangements (special needs etc.),
then he/she must inform the instructor in writing by
Friday, February 6.
Students who miss the midterm without making prior arrangement with the
instructor will not be given a makeup exam. See evaluation scheme below
for more information.
- Final Exam
- TBA
- Evaluation
-
Each homework assignment will be worth 2% of the final course mark.
The lowest homework mark will be dropped, meaning that only 9 homeworks,
accounting for a total of 18%, will count towards your final course mark.
The final course mark will be based on the homeworks, the midterm exam,
and a final exam. The contribution of each of these towards the course
mark is as follows: homeworks 18%, midterm 22%, final exam 60%.
There will be no makeup midterm exam. If a student misses the midterm
without making prior arrangement with the instructor,
then the final exam will count towards 82% of the student's mark.
- Academic Integrity
-
Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the regulations
concerning academic integrity and for ensuring that their assignments
conform to the principles of academic integrity. Information on academic
integrity is available in the Arts and Science Calendar
(Academic Regulation 1), on the Arts and Science website
(see http://www.queensu.ca/calendars/artsci/pg4.html), and from the instructor of this course.
Departures from academic integrity include plagiarism, use of unauthorized
materials, facilitation, forgery and falsification, and are antithetical
to the development of an academic community at Queen's. Given the
seriousness of these matters, actions which contravene the regulation
on academic integrity carry sanctions that can range from a warning
or the loss of grades on an assignment to the failure of a course
to a requirement to withdraw from the university.
