Homework/Projects:
\emph default
 Everyone is expected to master the syllabus homework assignments.
 These will not be graded, but many exam questions will be modeled on them,
 and it is guaranteed that at least one question on each exam will come
 directly from these problems.
 Students are strongly encouraged to work them and ask questions about them
 in and outside of class.
 There will be one group project for honors contractors, and several smaller
 individual homework/project assignments for everyone.
 Our computing platform is the CAS Maple which is available on all math
 computers.
 Students will be given an account in the Mathematics Computer Lab for computer
 related exercises and can obtain written lab instructions in the lab itself.
 Current information about the course will be available on the web (via
 the314 homepage or my home page).
 Using the web is strongly recommended for keeping track of due dates for
 homework collections and other current activities in the course.
