THE SECRET TO SUCCEEDING IN MATH 455:
- Read assigned material in the textbooks—before the classes where it is discussed.
- Keep up with new material every day: many topics build upon preceding ones!
- On exams and homework sets, the way you express your solutions is important!
Except where all you are doing is the very calculation I explicitly asked you to do, indicate
clearly what you are doing, and why—you may get reduced or no credit for the right answer obtained for the wrong reason or no reason at all! Write in complete mathematical sentences.
Arrange each
answer so that the order of its parts is unambiguous.
Distinguish “if” clauses from “then” clauses; include necessary “for every” and “there is some”
qualifiers.
