Text: Advanced Engineering Mathematics, by E. Kreyszig, 8th Edition.
Exams: The grade in this course will be based on two 100-point hour exams
and one 200-point final exam.
Exam #1: Wednesday, February 12;
Exam #2: Monday, March 31;
In case the university is officially closed on a scheduled exam date, the exam
will be held on the next class date that the university is officially open.
Grades: There is no fixed grading scale in this course; a conversion formula from your
percentage score to Oakland University grades will be determined at the end of the course.
However, the following table shows the lowest possible grade that a given percentage
score will earn:
Homework: Homework will be assigned on a regular basis but it will not be collected or graded.
Honesty: Cheating is a serious academic crime. Anyone convicted of cheating in this
course will receive a course grade of 0.0 in addition to any penalties imposed by the
Academic Conduct Committee.
