You must bring your YorkCard or other photo ID to every exam.
-
The course webpage can easily be viewed from the computers in the
Math Lab (S525 Ross). The tutors there can assist you.
- The course policy forbids the use of calculators on all quizzes and exams.
- Much of the information on the course webpage as pdf files.
To read these files,
your computer must have an Adobe Acrobat reader. If you do not have this
program, it can be downloaded for free from http://www.adobe.com
Just click on plug-ins & upgrades at the Adobe website.
If the solutions look like a bad fax, view them with magnification.
Alternatively, print the solutions. Either method produces a good looking
document.
- If you get an error message when trying to read a pdf file, it is probably
being downloaded too slowly to your computer. Click on the item with your
right mouse button and select "save link as". An icon will appear on your
screen. Click on that icon and Acrobat will open the file properly.
