| Math 4310 vs. Math 4330: | The non-honors version of this course is Math 4310. If you plan to go to graduate school in a field that requires substantial use of more sophisticated mathematics, Math 4330 is probably the course you should take (e.g., for mathematics, applied mathematics, and theoretical areas of physics, chemistry, computer science, electrical engineering, economics, etc.). If your need or interest is a bit less, then Math 4310 is probably the proper course for you. If you have not taken a proof based course then Math 4310 is probably a better choice. Please consult your advisor to help determine what you need. |
| Grading: | Final exam, Two Preliminary exams, Homework. |

| Homework: |
There will be weekly problem sets over the course of the semester. Your
lowest problem set grade will be dropped when computing your final homework grade.
No late homework will be accepted! Problem sets will be handed out most Mondays, and will be due the following Wednesday. You may work together on your assignments, and you are encouraged to do so. However, you must write up your final solutions by yourself. Your work must be written neatly and legibly. Proofs should be written in complete English sentences. Your homework score will be determined not only by the correctness of the responses, but also by the correctness of the grammar. Students may work together on homework but must write up their work individually. The homework will be graded and it is the student’s responsibility to make sure that his or her work is written clearly (this refers both to handwriting and style of prose). The homework is due each Wednesday in class. |
| Exams: |
There will be two take home prelims and a final exam. The first prelim will be in the beginning of October (before the Fall break),
the second one will be in early-mid November: you will be
allowed to consult your text and your course notes, but you should not discuss the exam with your
fellow students. You will have about one week to complete that prelim.
The take-home will be due on December 14th. Prelim I : take home - due October 7th. Prelim II : take home - due November 18th. Final Exam: take home - due Saturday, December 14, 2019. |
| Academic integrity: | As always, you are expected to abide by the Cornell Code of Academic Integrity. This states, “ A Cornell student’s submission of work for academic credit indicates that the work s the student’s own. All outside assistance should be acknowledged, and the student’s academic position truthfully reported at all times. ” |
