Fall Semester 2002

Engineering and Science Mathematics I

Overview:

This is the basic mathematics course for all students in the School of Engineering and Science. It introduces the fundamental mathematical knowledge which is needed by every scientist. Emphasis is on the use of mathematical methods in the sciences, rather than on detailed proofs of the mathematical machinery. This course will be offered in various modules, some of them parallel, in order to accommodate different backgrounds in the mathematical education of incoming students, and in order to serve different needs for different scientific disciplines. Topics covered include: calculus, linear algebra, statistics, differential equations.

Standard and Accelerated Track:

The class is offered in two parallel sections: the standard track and the accelerated track.
The accelerated track is recommended for General Physics I students, and everybody who already feels comfortable with the standard track material.
The accelerated track has a different course number. Students who wish to take the accelerated track will need to drop the standard track and add the accelerated track before the add/drop deadline October 1.
Note that it is not possible to get ``double credit'' for both the accelerated and the standard track.

Exam Rules:

You may only use a ball pen (or similar), no pencils.
No books nor calculators.
Scratch paper will be provided.
