Quantifiers ∀ and ∃ (“for all” and “there exists”) are like nitroglycerin, in that one little mis-step leads to the whole thing blowing up in your face.
There is no partial credit when it comes to Explosives and Quantifiers.

There will be not be a final exam .
Here is the thought-provoking optional

no later than

The final project must be carefully typed.
I recommend learning the free
mathematics-typesetting language
.
(It is the archive language of the American Mathematical
Society.)
It can be learned in a week. It is very good for typesetting homework.
At all times have a paper copy you can hand-in; I do
NOT accept
electronic versions.
Print out a copy each day, so that you always have the latest version to
hand-in; this, in case your printer or computer fails.

Please follow the guidelines on the
Checklist

We had fun with Practice Class-W.
Speaking of fun,
Class-W (pdf)
orbited in to view today, on Tuesday, 13Nov2012.
Folks were disappointed that it was so
much shorter and easier that the Practice exam.
Tear-stained faces looked to me, silently mouthing the words
But where is the beloved Essay Question?

Triumph!, concluded all the major newpapers. Deriving half of the Triangle-Inequality from C-S (pdf).
In all of my courses, attendance is absolutely required (excepting illness and religious holidays). In the unfortunate event that you miss a class, you are responsible to get all Notes / Announcements / TheWholeNineYards from a classmate, or several. All my classes have a substantial class-participation grade.

Available is its table of contents.
NOTE: I will include some extra topics (not necessarily in the text) such as Geosynchronous orbits and Escape velocity.
There was a test of prerequisite knowledge on Mon., 27Aug.2012.
The mini-test selected some topics from your Calc knowledge (Integration by parts, Intermediate-Value Thm and Mean-VT. Chain rule, etc.), High-school knowledge (formula for a line between two points, the Quadratic Formula, intersecting a line with a parabola, etc.).
pIt also asked you to know the Math-Greek alphabet (pdf), which we will use in class frequently.
