Logistics: Math 2250-004 meets MTWF 8:35-9:25 a.m.   On MWF we meet in WEB L104. On T we meet in JFB 103. If you are enrolled in this lecture class then you are also enrolled in one of the lab sections
   2250-005:   H   8:35-9:25 AM    JTB 120   Leader Stephen Bagley.
   2250-006:   H   9:40-10:30 AM   JTB 120   Leader Stephen Bagley.
   2250-007:   H   7:30-8:20 AM   LCB 222   Leader Chuanhao Wei.
   2250-008:   H   8:35-9:25 AM   JWB 333   Leader Chuanhao Wei.
Most of your lab meetings will be devoted to getting started on extended homework/project problems that will be due the following week at the start of lab. There will also be more basic homework due on Fridays, that will articulate to the lab topics of the preceding Thursday.

Chuanhao and Stephen will hold two office hours a week in the WEB 1622  tutoring room. There will be engineering math TA's staffing that room for many additional hours each week - not all of these TA's are for Math 2250, but they may still be helpful even if they are not. TAhours.txt is the complete engineering math staffing schedule for WEB 1622.

I hold office hours M 2:20-3:00 p.m., T,Th 10:45-11:35 a.m. in my office LCB 204. I will also be in the tutoring room WEB 1622 on Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30. If you need to see me outside of these times, we can set up an appointment. You're free to drop by my office whenever you want, but I'll chase you away if I'm busy. (Also, I'll be spending about half my time in the Associate Chair office JWB 236, and won't be available then.) My phone number is 801-581-7318 and my email address is korevaar "at" math.utah.edu.

Course details: This 2250-4 syllabus  contains detailed course information, including course learning objectives, outline, grading policy, expected schedule etc. Note that you will be required to get a grade of at least "C" on the final exam in order to get a grade of at least "C" for the course.

Class lecture notes   will be in this directory.
Homework assignments   will be in this directory. This will include copies of your lab questions.
Exams   will be in this directory. This will include copies of your quizzes and their solutions.
Homework, lab, quiz and exam grades will be recorded on-line, using "CANVAS"

understanding mathematics  is the top google hit for that query. If you're having trouble in this class it could be that you need to rethink how you try to learn mathematics, and that link might help. Please contact me as well, and we'll see if there are some different or additional strategies you might employ.
The Kahn Academy is another good on-line resource - there is a video collection explaining many of the key ideas in differential equations and linear algebra, among other topics, at this site.

2250spring13  is the directory from my Math 2250 class this past spring. The pacing this fall should be similar, although the lecture-lab format is different from previous semesters.
