- Office hours are MTWF from 9:15-10:15 AM.
- The computer algebra system GAP is available for download.
- Students interested in producing lattice or commuting diagrams in LaTeX may want to check out the xy package.
When individual homework is collected, many of the individual problems will be graded. A homework grade on a scale of 0 − 10 will be recorded for your assignment, reflecting my assessment of both the completeness, correctness and clarity of your solutions to the assignment. Late homeworks will not be accepted.
Homework Formatting Instructions
- All homework must be submitted in ink, and double spaced. I encourage, but don't expect, you to LaTeX your assignments. When preparing individual homeworks with LaTeX, your are required to use the provided template. When submitting homework prepared using LaTeX you must submit both the source and compiled file.
- Your name, class title and due date should appear in the top right hand corner of the first page.
- Paper assignments must be stapled together (not paperclipped, not crimped).
- If your paper came from a spiral bound notebook, you must remove all the pokey out bits (the edges of the page should be straight and clean).
- You must include a complete problem statement with each exercise.
- You must write in complete sentences, with appropriate grammar, etc..
- Your language should be appropriately formal, e.g., the use of specialized symbols such as the inverted capital A in place of the words "for all" should generally be avoided. Look to your textbook for a model of when the use of such symbols or abbreviations is appropriate.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in deductions from your grade.
