MATLAB assignments and homework each make up 10% of your grade. Each midterm examination will make up 20%, and the final examination will make up 40%.
The MATLAB assignments are a required part of the course. MATLAB sections meet on Tuesday from 8 AM to 2 PM (see times and locations above). Your assigned lab section is at the same time as your discussion section; however, if you are unable to make one lab section you are free to attend another as long as there are sufficient workstations. You may do the MATLAB assignments either during the section hours or on your own time, however, you use versions of MATLAB other than those in the assigned lab at your own risk. MATLAB assignments are due before 2 PM each Thursday.
The regular homework can be done with other students or with the help of other people; but the student should understand what he or she is handing in. In particular, a direct copy of someone else's work is not acceptable. The homework sets are due before 2 PM each Thursday.
The midterm and the final examinations are closed-book, except for a formula sheet made by each student. The sheet may be 8.5 by 11 inches, and both sides may be used. No lecture notes or calculators are to be used. During the examination, cellphones must be turned off and put away. If a problem is unclear or wrong, please consult the instructor or a TA. If a student misses a midterm examination for a valid reason, either the student will be required to take a make-up examination or the other grades will be more heavily weighted, at the discretion of the instructor.
Academic dishonesty is unethical, unprofessional, and considered to be a serious matter at UCSD. A student who cheats will be reported to the administration, and may be subject to a grade of F in the course, suspension, or expulsion from the university.

From Stewart:
You should know and be able to recognize the Maclaurin expansions listed at the bottom of page 767 of Stewart. In addition, you should know the Maclaurin expansions of log(1+x) and (1+x)b where b is a real number. Further, you should be able to apply these formulas in a slightly varied form; for example, you should be able to find the Maclaurin expansion of f(x)=2/(4+3x) easily.
